Explanation

mhyprot2.sys is a kernel service which is and will not be supported by Wine. The service is used as cheat detection, hence being well protected.

Possible solutions:

• Patch out anticheat (reason why this project exists)
• Support the kernel service support in Wine
• Wait for an official Linux build
• Play another game. Format: link, caveats (Proton/Wine rating)
  • Blue Protocol unreleased, 2021/22 (N/A)
  • Little Witch Nobeta singleplayer (Gold)
  • Ashen ~$40 (Platinum)
  • Tower Hunter: Erza's Trial singleplayer (Platinum)
  • Haven PEGI 18 (N/A, too new)
  • Pine no story, singleplayer (Native)

Applying the workaround

# Download/clone the repository

cd "/path/to/Genshin Impact Game"
bash "/path/to/GI-on-Linux/GAMEVER/patch.sh"

# Please use this to launch the game
wine cmd /c launcher.bat

Follow the script as instructed. Backups (.bak) are made automatically where needed.
