Explanation

mhyprot2.sys is a kernel service which is and will not be supported by Wine. Problem: it's used as cheat detection.

Available solutions:

• Wine + patched game (what this project does)
• Dual-boot to Windows
• Use Hyper-V in a Windows VM
• 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)
  • Valheim no story (Native)
  • Pine no story, singleplayer (Native)

Applying the workaround

git clone https://notabug.org/Krock/GI-on-Linux --depth 1

cd "/path/to/Genshin Impact Game"
bash "/path/to/GI-on-Linux/GAMEVER/patch.sh"
# Fixes a crash when entering the door
bash "/path/to/GI-on-Linux/GAMEVER/patch_anti_logincrash.sh"

# Please run "launcher.bat" to start the game
wine cmd /c launcher.bat

Undo: The patch can be reverted using patch_revert.sh in the same manner.
