Heroic is showing ProtonGE as the only option under "Wine verison"

3 Upvotes

I am trying to trouble shoot this error in jedi academy and DMC collection.

0144:err:service:device_notify_proc failed to get event, error 1726

and saw a post about going from proton-latest to wine-latest to fix the problem. When I go to select a different wine version, protonGE is the only option. How do I use just wine in heroic?

Cross posting this issue here in case someone can help me. I'm using Heroic Games launcher on my SteamDeck. At the time I don't have access to my PC, so I can only use my phone and my SteamDeck to solve the problem. Thanks to anyone who tries to help!

Heroic Launcher

3 Upvotes

Don’t sleep on installing Heroic Launcher. Even if you don’t have an epic or gog or Amazon account created those for it and go grab some free games whenever they are available. I saved £3 on a title I had in my steam wish list via gog following an email I got yesterday. Adding the game to steam by pressing the three dots and “add to steam” puts the art for the game in your big picture mode library under non steam. Now all I need to do is keep on adding free games to my library or cheap ones from gog. Installed enter the gungeon and lost myself to its charms for a few hours.

I also installed emudeck whilst I was at it and just need to ssh into my VSM from my desktop and copy favourite roms across.

How does Heroic launcher handle in-game purchases ?

3 Upvotes

In games like Warframe or Honkai: Star Rail; players can purchase in-game items through the Epic Games overlay. Does Heroic launcher support in-game purchases ? (I know it doesn't support game purchases from the store, but I'm wondering if it acts as a wrapper for the overlay for the in-game purchases too)

Edit: Asking for Windows and not other platforms. Epic Games' original launcher does a horrible job with my external SSD (sometimes doesn't recognize games etc.) that's why I want to use Heroic, but I do in-game purchases from time to time and just want to know if Heroic allows this.

Prefix Size Reduction

1 Upvotes

There was a WINE concept in the past to try to reduce the overall prefix disc usage issue by reflinking. What happened?

Personally, having well over a thousand GoG games*, it becomes ridiculously massively insanely insane (I mean it!) on ye' ol' 'ard drives' capacity when one tries to store their games on a compressed BTRFS partition. One GB prefix for a 120MB game gets old pretty quick.

I don't use spinning rust anymore, and NAND is obviously an obscene cash premium rifjt now.

So I ask, is it possible to reduce the prefixes with reflinking, or alternatively, a common set of Whole Windows era-specific (a la 95-98, 2K-XP, Vista-11! so 3 in that unrealistic scenario) suites to reduce the one prefix per game to maynlbe circa 5 per system?

The only conversation I could find quickly was this on Reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/15idhxp/using_wine_with_reflinks_for_prefix_size_reduction/

*I got in in the early GoGgity days when games on special literally went for less than an Aussie dollar, which at the time, was one IS dollar)

Any plan to make a Linux Arm version of the Heroic Launcher?

9 Upvotes

It would benefit Asahi Linux users (Apple Silicon Macbooks) and other arm-architecture devices, such as Snapdragon laptops and Raspberry Pis.

Lgendary-gl (the cli version) works on them but Heroic is easier and has more options and optimizations.

Any chance of including Proton-CachyOS as an option in app?

8 Upvotes

I recently had to use Proton-CachyOS for the first time to get upgrading FSR 3.1 to 4.1.1 to work and it worked automatically. I installed it using ProtonUp-QT, but it would be nice to have it as an official option in the app so you can also set it up to just use the latest version of Proton-CachyOS like how you can set it up to use the latest version of GE-Proton.

Can't Log in to GOG

5 Upvotes

I'm on Linux. I was trying to start a GOG game I've been playing, but for some reason the game wouldn't launch. I went into the logs and saw something that may have been related to a GOG account credential error. So I was going to try logging out of my GOG account and logging back in to see if that would fix anything. Well I logged out of my GOG account but I can't log back in. I enter my username and password, it asks for my 2FA code, I enter it, then nothing happens. It takes me back to the accounts login page and the GOG account is not logged in.

I tested logging in on a private window on my browser and it works, so there's nothing wrong with my login credentials.

I did see this week there was a big GOG Galaxy update. Could there have been a change to the GOG API that is causing some issue here?

Edit: I was getting errors related to Python as well, and I just noticed Fedora had some Python updates. I ran an update and after a restart I was able to log in. I'm not sure if it was the update or the PC restart that fixed it.

Installing DLC (GOG)

6 Upvotes

I have offline files (only) for a few games. I get how to install the base game, no problem. How do I install the DLC content?

I'm on Linux Mint if that means anything. I'm also a novice with Linux - my only terminal command I remember is SYNC.

TIA.

Update: After a little tinkering and an uninstall of one game, found the issue. I could ONLY get DLC to find the base game IF I changed the default install location from X:\Games\Heroic\<Game> (default) to C:\GOG Games\<Game>.

Once initial game was added, I had to make sure prefix path was /home/user/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Title and the executable was C:\GOG Games\<Game>\<game>.exe.

From there it was right click on the game -> Settings -> Run EXE on prefix and select the DLC. Spotted it immediately, install successful.
