lsfg-vk in Alan Wake 2

Tagging this as non-heroic because technically it's not a Heroic issue (maybe) but since i'm running the game though heroic, it could be. I'm using Heroic installed as system package, not flatpak. I have tested lsfg-vk with vkcube and it works. lsfg installed on steam and lsfg-vk pointed to the dll. Correct env variables set in heroic but still no changes :(...

Is there a way to change the OS specific version of a game in Heroic?

Hi, I installed Silksong in its Windows version cause the Linux native gave me controller issues. I saw that they released a public-beta channel and I would like to see if that fixes the issue. So the question is, is there a way to change the OS specific version? For example, in steam you just have to turn off the complatibility layer and it automatically selects the native version for you. Thank you...

[macOS] Hogwarts Legacy missing visual C++ runtime

Trying to run Hogwarts Legacy on macOS via Heroic with Wine set to GPTK Latest. I installed vcrun2022 in Winetricks but still get a missing Microsoft Visual C++ runtime error. Do I need to run vc_redist.x64.exe manually in the prefix?

Steam is not detecting running games from Heroic

When launching a GOG game that was added to Steam, then the "game startig" screen shows for a few seconds, and then the screen returns to the game page. The play button is green, i.e. Steam thinks that the game isn't running, but the game eventually starts. The problem is that both the game and Steam receive controller input at the same time. So far tested it with Silksong (Linux and Windows versions), and Alters....

SWAT: Elite Force fails to launch

Apparently the error about missing System.Management.Automation means it needs PowerShell, which is part of Windows Management Framework, and is distributed only as a .msu. Is it even possible to make this work under Wine/Proton?
