How to install and run Genshin Impact on Nobara 44
Hi All,
As the title says, I want to get back into Genshin Impact but I’m not entirely sure how to do it. So far what I did was:
Install Genshin Impact on a Windows PC and copy the game files to my external hard drive and from there copy it to my Games drive which is partitioned in BTRFS format.
I installed Hoyoplay via Lutris and added the drive location and Hoyoplay linked the game and it says “Start Game”. But when I press the button, the launcher restarts after about 10 seconds which makes me think the game is crashing.
Am I doing anything wrong? Any help and advice is appreciated.
Thank you.
Update: I changed the Runner to Proton 9.0 and got the game to launch and played a bit as well. Super happy that I figured it out even though it might have been a trivial thing to do. You learn something new everyday. Also, copying the game files saved me from a 130GB download so that’s the icing on the cake :D
