I tried to import GTA V since I didn't want to reinstall it. Heroic kept loading enldessly. Once restarted Heroic tells the game is installed, but nothing happen once the game is started.

[Feature Request] Login to a second epic games account without login out.

Any proton version in the "$HOME/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine" folder can't be used when the default wine prefix is changed.
Before changing the wine prefix it would launch rocket league(the only game i have tested) and would work. To check it further I made syslink of proton-ge-custom to both "$HOME/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine" and "$HOME/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d" and when I tried to use the Lutris one it failed to launch but the steam one worked.

using the appimage.

Issue Description

Main Issue

I installed the AUR package (heroic-games-launcher-bin) with yay and am finding that the program just loads to a black screen when using the desktop shortcut (see screenshot below).

I found the binary installed at /opt/heroic so I directly ran that with ./heroic and got the same issue, but this time with the following error message.

(node:130190) electron: The default of contextIsolation is deprecated and will be changing from false to true in a future release of Electron.  See https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/23506 for more information

Previous Attempts

It should be noted that I attempted to install a previous version of Heroic Games Launcher (I think 0.3 maybe) via the AUR package and was able to login with my epic account. At that point, the program would appear to load my list of games in a spawned terminal, then suddenly close and re-open. When it opened again, the dialog box asking if I wanted to login would appear again. If I clicked yes, it would load my list of games and crash again, then repeat the process. With the current version of the program, it doesn't prompt me to login at all, it just shows a black screen.

Experimentation

I also tried running the program binary as sudo ./heroic --no-sandbox to see if it was an issue relating to my current user. In this case, the program appears to be functioning as expected (see screenshot below). This leads me to believe that my epic login information might be messed up, but is still stored somewhere on my system. Perhaps clearing this would help?

I have steam installed with proton but I cant select proton instead of wine in games settings.

While I've set the default install path under settings to /mnt/storage/Games-Heroic, selecting "Install on default path" when installing the games wind up under ~/Games/Heroic.

Using "install on another path" does allow installing to the preferred path.

Tested with v1.0 deb package on Ubuntu 18.04.

It would be cool to have native support of gamemode, like it works in Lutris.

Hi
Is possible to create a PPA repository for ".deb"s? It would be much easier to keep the application updated.

If you install a game it will not be on the Installed Only list till you restart Heroic

I am using nvidia-intel hybrid on manajaro. How do I launch the games using prime-run

Any time I go to view a game page in the app, it gives me this:

Error occurred in handler for 'getGameInfo': Error: Cannot find module './secrets'

  }

This is with the latest version.

Interestingly, it does work fine in the previous 1.0.1 release so something you changed between them broke it. This is on Arch.

Similar to #30, it would be great to have a Copr repo for RPM packages. I'm familiar with how Copr works and would be happy to help.

Under Defaul Wine Version I can only find Wine Default, and Proton GE. Is there a way to add custom Wine builds manually?

1. For automatic syncing to work, does Heroic detect where the save data is located or do I have to manually declare the path to the save data?
2. What's the purpose of Forced Upload/Forced Download?
3. When does automatic syncing occur if enabled?

Disclaimer: I've created the Flatpak for PlayOnLinux 5 (see https://github.com/flathub/org.phoenicis.playonlinux).

• There's an NPM package to build electron flatpaks: https://www.npmjs.com/package/electron-installer-flatpak.
• To run Wine inside the Flatpak, you have to install certain packages and enable some options (e.g. that controllers can be used).
  • https://github.com/PhoenicisOrg/phoenicis/tree/master/phoenicis-dist/src/flatpak (might be a good starting point)
  • https://github.com/winepak/winepak
  • https://github.com/flathub/com.valvesoftware.Steam
• In general: How to handle Wine? Currently, HGL uses the system Wine. For Flatpak this means, that Wine should be part of the Flatpak (like in Winepak). Problem: Different games might need different Wine versions and you must update the used Wine occasionally. With the PoL 5 Flatpak, we do not have this issue because PoL downloads Wine on demand (i.e. when you install an app) from https://www.playonlinux.com/wine/binaries/phoenicis/.

Hello! Thank you for your effort in this app!

Upgraded freshly from 0.3.1-beta to 1.0.1 (by deleting folders such as .config/heroic and .config/legendary), just to check the new SID code method. Sadly it will just display for a few ms and then keeps loading endlessly.

Running the appimage thru terminal shows this error: https://del.dog/oppuniguxe.txt.

Logging in from 0.3.1-beta and then running 1.0.1 works fine, as expected.

Hi!

thanks for creating this project.

How can I help with this? Do i need python knowledge or Javascript is enought?

It'd be nice to have games filter to separate native Linux games and Wine/Proton games. I thougth of using ProtonDB since it has such info and even how playable game is (which is useful filter too) but idk if they have proper api and all.

If you click "LibraryInstalledSettings" sign from any page

it'll show you this.

The problem is that you can't leave this page except you restart the app. Also the page is quite pointless coz it doesn't even show installed games (sign "Installed Games" isn't clickable).

When I tried starting a game with DXVK enabled it did do anything.
I ran the app using the terminal and got this:

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/jld3103/.config/heroic/Tools/DXVK/latest_dxvk'

  code: 'ENOENT',

}

I tried symlinking and copying my DXVK installation from Lutris, but then I got:

I suspect the launcher should have downloaded DXVK, but didn't.

• Xterm installed.
• .deb Heroic package installed

1. Launch Heroic from the command line
2. Heroic work as intended, so login process
   
3. Use the internal browser to log to Epic account and copy the SID then paste it and click login
   
   4)Wait for it to refresh the list, nothing in the log
   
4. Then, when it's logged in, error in the terminal:
   Error occurred in handler for 'readFile': TypeError: Cannot read property 'url' of undefined

6. Every time I reload or relaunch Heroic, same error in the terminal and black screen
   

If xterm is not installed and you try to open Heroic it asks if you want to log in and then does nothing. You should make it so if xterm is not installed ask if it wants you to install it for you or tell you to go install it

Just added Battle Front II and the game is not appearing in the Library. I have logged out, refreshed, and even restarted the PC.

Hello,

Can't enter my SID information number becaus i have no idea of what it is. I just logged on epig games and i didn't found anything that looks remotely like a SID information number. I tried to paste the code mentioned as ID under "Account info", but it doesn't work.

Similar to #13, the legendary launch invocation has the --wine option with a space in it.

Heroic 1.0.3

I tried to install a game to my second drive with spaces in the name, legandary then sees that /media/coffee/Not doesnt exist and attemps to create it and fails to do so.

Hello, I've mistakenly logged in with an older account, and can't really find any file inside my home that points to the used SID. Where is it located? Thank you in advance!

Why does it installs Xterm terminal?

Adding the MANGOHUD=1 argument does not enable MangoHUD, and to rule out MangoHUD, I also tried using DXVK_HUD=1 which also does not work.

Kubuntu 20.10 and MangoHUD installed from PPA which works with game ran through Steam and Proton.

When I run npm start in the folder after running npm install I get this

sh: line 1: nf: command not found npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE npm ERR! syscall spawn npm ERR! file sh npm ERR! errno ENOENT npm ERR! [email protected] start: nf start -p 3000 && electron-start`
npm ERR! spawn ENOENT

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR! /home/ldf/.npm/_logs/2020-12-30T22_20_33_520Z-debug.log`

Here is that log

After Legendary said that installation was finished there wasn't any signes of that on the game page inself. If I go to the library and click the game again everything's fine. I guess the page should be reloaded after installation automaticly so it has proper status.

Whether you close the game normally, kill it manually, or kill through the Heroic UI, the button doesn't update.
It keeps showing "Playing (stop)". Preventing you from launching the game again (as it will try to kill).

Tested on Ubuntu 18.04, Heroic v1.0.1

running npm run dist to build the binaries builds the AppImage fine but running that AppImage opens Heroic with inspect element open and Heroic is blank. Theres no errors if you run it in a terminal and theres no errors in the Heroic inspect element console either. npm start doesnt work either and theres already a issue open for that so I cannot make changes and contribute to the code because if I do I make a change I have no way to run Heroic with the changes I made because well theres no way to run it

Paths with a space are not correctly passed to legendary (I selected /home/nico/Games/epic-games-store/drive_c/Program Files/Epic Games)

Also it would be nice to have an option not to specify the game path (just like running legendary install [gameid]

Installing with the RPM worked fine, I can launch, but when i enter by SID and press login the box clears and nothing else happens, i dont get logged in.

I'd logged in and Heroic had started to load my library but after a few seconds it got closed. If I run Heroic again the same thing happens (also it asks me again if I want to log in though no filling needed after my consent).

I use AUR version on Manjaro.

Hey there 👋🏿 ,

as the title already states. An option to limit the used bandwidth by the launcher would be nice.

Thank you in advance :)

First of all, thanks for this repository, very good job!

Now about my issue, in some linux distributions, like Fedora, the default steam folder is on:

• ~/.local/share/Steam/

and if I install via flatpak it is on:

• ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/

If possible, will be nice to add this folders in the file:

• utils.js
  that way, it can found the proton without problems.

Attempting to install heroic-games-launcher-appimage from the AUR or heroic-games-launcher-bin using the PKGBUILD from this repository returns the error:

 -> Could not find all required packages:
        fuse2 gawk (Wanted by: heroic-games-launcher-appimage)

I believe each of the items in the depends() array need to be in single quotes.

Hey! Good job, I realy appreciate it. Take a look at this little problem.
So nice brand new interface.

Hello,

Since we can only download windows version of the games (even whan a linux version actually exists), we have often bad surprises when we discover that our downloaded games aren't working at all with wine. Personally, i just wasted my money buying a game i'm not able to make working because nothing happens when i'm launch it, only wine is launched but not the game.

So a filter could avoid us a such bad surprise.

Hello everyone,

I just installed Heroic, this launcher is very good. I tried to launch Satisfactory and I get this error: "proton on default wine prefix ". The game doesn't launch. I try with Proton GE and Wine and I have the same result.

How to solves this issue ? Thanks

edit : i have this error with another game too.
edit 2 : I try this tutorial, doesn't work too (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJjdi0AsrFg)

The AppImage depends on glibc version 2.27. Unfortunately Leap 15.2 has glibc version 2.26. Is it possible to lower the glibc dependency to 2.26 or include the glibc in the AppImage?

Thank you

If the feature exists, there will be plenty of volunteers to help.

I have a request to use the .po files. They make the translation very easy. Application example:
https://github.com/sharkwouter/minigalaxy

I have multiple versions of wine installed, and I've set up scripts to run them. Like 'wine-tkg', 'wine-staging' and 'wine-pba'.
Calling 'wine' will just run vanilla wine for me.
It would be nice if the 'wine' command could be customized.
Even nicer if it could be set per game.
