Are you using the Deck?
Is there a game or a folder (like prefix folder) that includes the ® symbol?

[Schnubbirunkel]

Yes that was it! I've uninstalled that game and installed another and everything worked great.

[redromnon]

So did any folder names related to the game have that character? Like wine prefix name, game folder name, etc.

Because the program removes special characters for everything except names of folders related to the game since they are sensitive.

[Schnubbirunkel]

Yes it was a Indiana Jones game and it had the ® symbol in there.

[redromnon]

Can you confirm if the game's wine prefix name contains the symbol? You can find that under the game's settings->Wine->WinePrefix Folder in the Heroic app.

[Schnubbirunkel]

Yes it's in there.

[redromnon]

I can't do anything about this, it's how Heroic assigns the names to the wine prefixes.

But what you can do is edit and delete any special characters like ® (like here in WinePrefix) and try running Bash Launcher again.
