It does not show the percentage while downloading. about heroicgameslauncher HOT 35 CLOSED

Using a Ubuntu VM I was able to find the issue. I'll release a new version later with the fix.

from heroicgameslauncher.

Hey good news!
I purge all the old files and instaled the new version. It is working prety well.
I will keep trying and let will let you know.

from heroicgameslauncher.

Also, I found that I am losing frames when the game is installed and launched through Heroic! This problem seems to disappear when launched through Epic + Lutris!

That's not surprising if you are using system Wine, as the version used by Lutris uses a version of Wine optimised for gaming.

If you choose the Lutris version of Wine through the Settings menu, does it resolve the issue (see below)?

from heroicgameslauncher.

Can you both install the package called gawk and see if the issue is solved?
It's this package that provides the command I'm using to get the percentage out of the log:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gawk

Will do, once I'm home tonight.

from heroicgameslauncher.

Can you check if a file is being created on the .config/legendary with the installation log?

@flavioislima I'm having the same issue.
For me the log files are being created, but they remain 0 bytes all the way until after completing the install.
Tail, grep and awk are available, there just aren't any logs being output there.

from heroicgameslauncher.

Im having this issue also, but upon checking the system moniter legendary is using the network and writing to the disk so it is downloading just not showing up on the app

from heroicgameslauncher.

Before closing it showed a pop up saying that the download would be canceled. Then I realized that it was just a frontend problem.

from heroicgameslauncher.

Yup! Same problem here! But otherwise excellent work! Keep it coming!

from heroicgameslauncher.

Hi!
I cannot reproduce the issue. This is happening just after clicking install or it shows the percentage and then after leaving and returning back to the game page?

from heroicgameslauncher.

Can you check if a file is being created on the .config/legendary with the installation log?
Right now the percentage works like this:

• You click install
• Then heroic calls legendary install game and outputs it to a log file on .config/legendary folder with the appName (not the title) and the log extension.
• Then on the frontend, I call a function to read this log every two seconds.
• The function is a very simple shell command:
• tail .config/legendary/appName.log | grep 'Progress: ' | awk '{print $5}'

Unless your system does not have these commands, that I think every Linux system has, I mean: tail, grep and awk. It should work.
But it worth the check.

from heroicgameslauncher.

I can confirm it does not show a percentage when downloading a game, but it definitely works since it created the installation folder, and legendary processes are running whilst the game is downloading, plus the game launched when the process was completed.

I replicated this behaviour using the appimage and .deb installation.

Kubuntu 20.10

from heroicgameslauncher.

@intelligentgaming can you check the things I asked above?

from heroicgameslauncher.

Check if the behavior is something like this, it can take a few seconds before starting updating the percentage:

from heroicgameslauncher.

@intelligentgaming can you check the things I asked above?

Yes, although your bash command does not work for me.

See below for the process from start to finish, the game downloads correctly using Legendary, just as OP mentions, the progress percentage is just not there.

So, I Installed the new version and it keeps with the same issue. ;/

I about to realize that thais percent appers then install too.

I see, good to know then that not all distros have those 3 commands. Can you check which one is not working, I imagine is awk, but just to be sure, put awk on the terminal to check. I guess grep and tail exists, right? So I'll need to investigate the package that installs those things and add as a dependency. On Manjaro all 3 comes installed by default so that's why I can't see the bug.

@CleoMenezes which Distro are you using?

That might explain it, I'm using Kubuntu 20.10, but just checked on my Garuda installation, and all three do come preinstalled.

from heroicgameslauncher.

Installed gawk, but the issue is not resolved.

from heroicgameslauncher.

Having the same issue on ubuntu

from heroicgameslauncher.

Can you try on new release? I did some changes. Also, try running it from the terminal and let me know if the progress is being show there. Because if it works on the terminal then it is something on the frontend.

I'm also preparing a Ubuntu VM to test it because the issue seems to be only with distros related wit it.

from heroicgameslauncher.

Same problem, Ubuntu 20.10, Heroic 1.1.0, gawk already installed.

whenever I try to install, it just says "installing"

This is the output I get, before cancelling the installation:

Installing Morganite with: /opt/heroic/resources/app.asar.unpacked/build/bin/legendary install Morganite --base-path ~/Games/Heroic -y &> /home/user/.config/heroic/GamesConfig/Morganite.log
Install Progress:
Install Progress:
Install Progress:
Install Progress:
Install Progress:
Install Progress:
Install Progress:
Install Progress:
Install Progress:
Install Progress:
killing Morganite

It just keeps showing "Install Progress: " without any numbers or percentage attached to it.

This is the output I get after cancelling the installation:

@MequeLovin Can you upload the installation log here? You can find it on your .config/heroic/GamesConfig.

And also do the following command on your terminal:
tail .config/heroic/GamesConfig/*.log | grep 'Progress: ' | awk '{print $5}'

from heroicgameslauncher.

I can, but there are many logs in the folder, all of them with seemingly irrelevant info. Can you tell me which one of them you want?

Ran the command you asked, but nothing happened, I think that's because there were no "Progress" in any of the logs.

from heroicgameslauncher.

check the latest one. The installation logs are named only: 'something'.log. The others .log are play logs.
You can pick any of those 'something'.log this something is the internal game name.

from heroicgameslauncher.

I'm afraid my "something.log" (1fe19232c0f7476a8e99fd8752e800c2.log) is empty, can't even upload it.

from heroicgameslauncher.

That might be the issue. For some reason, the logs aren't being stored on a file on some distros. I"m finishing setting up a Ubuntu VM to investigate it more. So far, only ubuntu based distros seems to have the issue.

Because, on Heroic what I do is to store the output of the installation in those log files and then every one second I read it to get the percentage, so if the log is empty, it will return nothing on the frontend as well. Even though the game is installing.

from heroicgameslauncher.

Using a Ubuntu VM I was able to find the issue. I'll release a new version later with the fix.

Sweet, thanks for taking your time to do this, it's not a deal breaker since the tool still works, but good to know you care about feedback.

from heroicgameslauncher.

Can you try now with the new version:
https://github.com/flavioislima/HeroicGamesLauncher/releases/tag/v1.1.1
?

Thanks

from heroicgameslauncher.

Checked it now, when I clicked download I got the same results from before, but when I reloaded the game page, it worked as intended, many thanks!

from heroicgameslauncher.

But it should have worked right away. It can take a few seconds to update, no need to refresh the game page.
On my ubuntu VM it worked the same way as on my Manjaro, where I develop the app.

@MrAn0nym @intelligentgaming @CleoMenezes can you try as well?
