I bought Manor Lords from GOG today as an early access because it is rated platin on ProtonDB.
For some reason i can't download Proton 9.0.2.
Is it not available yet in germany or is there anything i'm missing.
The latest version i can download is ) beta.
I always get Visual C++ is missing.

Any ideas ?

    Hi Mike,
    for the error "Microsoft Visual C++ not found" you have to use wine- or protontricks.
    I don't know if Lutris has it but Heroic has.
    For heroic, open it go to your lib.
    click on the game settings (3 bars with dots) icon
    select the wine tab and scroll down
    click on winetricks
    click on open winetricks gui
    standard wineprefix should already selected so press "ok"
    click install windows-dll, it's on the top, ok
    then you have to scroll down nearly and find and select (check mark) "vcrun2022" and press ok. you can also use ctrl+f and search for it. its also possible that the game needs an older version its's a bit trail an error.
    You may get some error messages, just press ignore then. at the end. vcrunxxx should be then visible under installed components in the winetricks window from heroic.
    Your game should now run. Had to to the same for Harry Potter Legacy and some others too.

      MikeK61 For some reason i can't download Proton 9.0.2.

      How do you download it? The easiest way for me using app like ProtonUp-Qt or ProtonPlus, both of them are available in Flathub.

          Im using Heroic Games Launcher.
          Not one single game i have tried to install via Lutris is working.
          That          s the reason i play on steam normally, but since i tried Heroic, i prefer that one.

          I install them on steam.
          Right click on the game and combatibility then choose the proton version.

          Maybe i`m to stupid for protonplus.
          Never found how to use it correct.

              Just to make sure i installed Manor Lords via Lutris script and i get exactly the same error message as on Heroic.

              Microsoft Visual C++ not found.

                did you make sure it is installed? it maybe not and wine/proton is not letting you know

                Interestingly nobody on ProtonDB mentions such an issue, or that they had to specifically install any Visual C++ runtime.

                MikeK61 Right click on the game and combatibility then choose the proton version.

                It's 9.0-2 not 9.0.2 in case this is what's confusing you? If that one doesn't show up make sure all the settings in Settings->Compatibility are enabled.

                    Yes, that`s the reason i bought the game.
                    On ProtonDB its rated platin.
                    But i googled the error and tons of threads showing the same issue it seems.

                        Thank you very much Phiqu.
                        This sounds promissing.

                        To be honest i never really understood how protontricks works.
                        I can`t find my game in Protontricks.
                        Can you explain for a noob in this case how i can find the game ?

                        Also i do wonder why this is not reported on ProtonDB.
                        All reports mentioning Proton 9.02 but i only find 9.0 beta.

                          Huhu Mike, protontricks finds your games just when the game is purchased direct with steam or when you add a non-steam game to steam.

                          When you bought the game via GOG you should use/try wine-ge (can also be loaded in heroic) instead of proton cause proton is normally just used in combination with steam purchased games. Sometimes proton also works (even better), but outside of steam, normally wine-ge which includes also proton stuff should be the way to go.
                          (Proton-GE can also be modified with in heroic launcher with winetricks, the same way I mentioned if you what to test proton)

                            Got it running with wine GE 8.26.
                            Thanks for your kind help Phiqu.
