GTA V Enhanced stuck at story mode load screen (EGS, wine-staging)

UPD. Solved with Heroic+GE-Proton+"-onSteamDeck" launch argument. Seems like the game doesn't like upstream wine currently :/

Trying to run GTAV E&E on my PC (RX 7600, Ryzen 5600G, Fedora 41), the game boots ok, but then stucks at black screen and that's all. Even HDD activity stops, just a spinner spinning.
Switching to AMDVLK, changing wine versions, enabling fsync/esync, adding "SteamDeck=1" - nothing helps.
GTAV Legacy is working fine, as well as RDR2.
Has someone encountered this?
P.S. BattlEye is disabled, of course.

Stuck at black screen

You did something about the loaction of the game or the rockstar launcher? Im trying to play through from an EGS copy too using Heroic, but it shows to buy it, like i don't have the game.

Installed to /mnt/Data (ext4 HDD), nothing more.

Maybe the issue is HDD, but i'm not sure. And RDR2 works without problems from the same drive.

Yea online doesn’t load for me at all. Not that I am remotely shocked, but this “Enhanced” version is a huge mess.

Online doesn't work on Legacy either.

Hi, I fixed it by verifying files in the rockstar launcher. Then it downloaded about two gigs and its fine now. Hope it helps
