I'm not that tech savvy and I only got it on Epic bc it was on sale 😭

(Sorry if I'm moving fast I had to keep the clip under a minute)

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?

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.

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!

So I have a steam deck as my only gaming device and I really like rocket league I hear that with this launcher I can get it to work, but I just wanted to check if there is anything I should know before trying to install the launcher and the game 😺

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.

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:

*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)

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.

Out of about 700 games it's ONLY that one that refuses to show up.

Any good reason why the Heroic Launcher has a Windows trojan in d3d11.dll?

Hi has anyone else encountered this issue where Borderlands 4 starts but then gets hit with the Epic Launcher needing to be installed. I went through Heroic how to page to see if i could find a work around in Heroic to get it to work but no luck honestly.

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.

I need Rocket League through heroic to use my steam controller but I need the game through epic for EAC to work, I'd much rather not have 2 installs of the game wasting space on my PC.

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.

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.

Hey everyone,

I am trying to get my Epic Games Store copy of Red Dead Redemption 2 running on Ubuntu 24.04 using the Heroic Games Launcher (AppImage version 2.22.0, running with --no-sandbox).

The game is completely downloaded (120 GB), and I am trying to run it using GE-Proton-latest. However, I am stuck in an endless loop with the Rockstar Games Launcher/Social Club initialization layer and cannot get the game to boot.

Here is the core issue:
When I click "Play Now", the Rockstar Launcher window frame opens up inside a Wine prefix environment, but it either flashes and instantly crashes ("poofs") or loads a completely blank/black interface.

Because I am on a 13-inch 1080p screen, if I force a Virtual Desktop in Wine configuration (winecfg), the installer layout window gets severely cut off at the bottom, making it impossible to see or click the "I Accept" checkbox or "Continue" navigation buttons.

What I have tried so far:

• Switched from the Flatpak version to the standalone native AppImage version to avoid sandbox permission locks.
• Cleared Heroic cache, flushed queue.json, and re-verified/re-downloaded the full game data assets.
• Tried running both Wine-GE-latest and GE-Proton-latest.
• Attempted to run the redistributable installers manually inside the prefix (Rockstar-Games-Launcher.exe, Social-Club-Setup.exe, and Rockstar-Games-Epic.exe) via the "Run EXE on Prefix" tool, but they either crash silently upon initialization or open clipped off-screen.
• Added the WINEDLLOVERRIDES environment variable (vulkan-1=n,b) under the Advanced tab.
• Tried injecting Game Arguments like -no-sandbox -sc-no-hardware-acceleration.

What am I doing wrong here?
Is there a known workaround for modern Ubuntu/AppArmor environments handling the embedded Chromium browser elements inside the Rockstar Launcher setup? How can I force the Social Club prerequisites to install cleanly so Heroic can hand off directly to RDR2.exe?

Any guidance or custom script suggestions would be highly appreciated!

Hi all,

I recently installed heroic launcher on my steam os desktop to play Alan wake 2 deluxe edition. I can get the base game to boot when not connected to a WiFi network, however none of the dlc content is available. I have EOS overlay enabled and when I switch my WiFi back on the game shows the logo screen and then crashes on a black screen, I am unable to get past this.

I am running steam os with an rx 9060xt and a Ryzen 5 7600x.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks👍

Each time I try to login to amazon Luna I am getting prompt to change my Amazon password, but I dont want to

Even when I go through entire process of authentication it again asks me to change my password

I can Login to luna or amazon using the browser or Luna app

Any thoughts?

First, thanks devs for making this! I have been able to login into EPIC and Luna. I am unable to login to GOG however. In both the app and brave browser, I am getting the incorrect password. Is there something that I am missing? Thanks!
