Has anyone got this to work on linux with wine? I can install it and I can do the first time setup successfully. However when I try to create a new project, it crashes... Has anyone gotten it to work yet?

I've had success getting REDkit running in my environment after some debugging. The main issue I experienced was crashing while generating the depot. Here is how I got it working:

Environment:
* Distro: Fedora 40
* Launcher: Heroic
* Witcher 3 & Witcher 3 REDkit: GOG version
* System WINE version: 9.5 (staging)

Notes:
1. Use Steam's 'Proton - Experimental' for best results (EXCEPT when generating the depot, see below)
2. I had issues when I specified my depot directory in one of my home sub-directories (for some reason Proton/WINE was reading any files outside of specific directories). I fixed this by storing my depot where I keep all of my other Heroic programs (`~/Games/Heroic/modding/witcher3/depot/`)

Generating Depot:
1. Launch REDkit at least once to generate your Proton prefix and close afterward.
2. Now launch REDkit using a newer WINE runtime version that fixes the depot crashes (currently 'Proton - Experimental' uses WINE 9.0). WINE version 9.5 seems to work for me. In the terminal where I have REDkit stored (`~/Games/Heroic/The Witcher 3 REDkit`), launch REDkit using your Proton prefix: `WINEPREFIX=~/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/The\ Witcher\ 3\ REDkit/ wine 'Launch modkit.lnk'`
3. Generate depot. After depot generates successfully, REDkit will restart. Close REDkit after it restarts
4. Now launch REDkit from Heroic launcher for modding.

Did some quick testing, and was able to load worlds, groups, and playtest a world without any major issues/crashes.

Finally, I also had issues loading certain groups in the editor, and it would crash (crash logs indicated missing resource imports). This may be a result of a corrupted depot. If you happen to encounter missing import errors, I would recommend regenerating your depot to fix it.

Hope this helps.

Sorry for the late response. But I did as you suggested and downloaded the Heroic launcher. The icons are messed up and are black boxes instead, but other than that it seemingly works perfectly. Thank you so much for taking your time to help me!
This should work natively on Linux, any word from CDPR?
