GOG Robocop: Rogue City fails to launch (Arch Linux)

No window, no fullscreen environment, bombs out immediately upon reaching "playing" state. System, HGL, & game all updated to latest, I have the latest Wine dependencies for my system. I've tried various Proton/Wine (deleting the prefix folder in between each attempt): GE-Proton latest, 10-17, 9-27, 8-24 & Wine-GE latest, Proton8-26, Proton8-4, wine-10.16 (staging), all with "auto install/update dxvk" enabled & vcrun2022 installed via winetricks, wine versions with "auto install/update dxvk-nvapi" enabled & vkd3d installed via winetricks. I even tried setting the Windows version to win10. No dice. Should note that I've successfully run Witcher 3, Jedi Survivor, Batman Arkham seris & other AAA titles @ 1440p with very high settings, rarely have issues (thanks HGL šŸ‘ ). ...

Fall guys Launch Error - Easy Anti-Cheat is not installed.

HI, I have Fall Guys installed on Windows 11 via the Heroic Launcher, but when I try to open it, I get a launch error (Easy Anti-Cheat is not installed). I can launch it perfectly fine on Linux, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I believe that Anti-Cheat should come bundled with the game installation.
Solution:
Hm, usually EAC gets installed automatically, yes. You can try installing it manually by opening a command prompt and running this:
C:\Users\hari1\Games\Heroic\FallGuys\EasyAntiCheat\EasyAntiCheat_EOS_Setup.exe install d42d7101bb7a41c09a810ee418b7d3d0
C:\Users\hari1\Games\Heroic\FallGuys\EasyAntiCheat\EasyAntiCheat_EOS_Setup.exe install d42d7101bb7a41c09a810ee418b7d3d0

Problem: Player ID badges not appearing in Rocket League

I have a question, why don't the player ID tags appear in Rocket League? (The ID tags are the names that appear above the cars in Rocket League). Does anyone know how to fix this? Because it's difficult to play and it can be hard to see your opponents. If anyone knows how to do it, it would be very helpful, I am a Mac user, my Mac has an Intel processor, thank you very much in advance.

Steam OSĀ“ Frame Rate and TDP Limit in games installed through heroic (Steam Deck)

Hello! I bought a deck and I“ve been playing around with it for a few weeks but I do have a question that I haven“t been able to find answered through google. I have a bunch of epic games so I naturally installed heroic and added them to steam to play them but one thing I“ve noticed is that steam OS frame rate limit or TDP limit are not working in those. I feel there is something silly I“m missing like a launch command. Is this normal? Thanks!...

Most games not launching

I recently switched over to Linux Mint and instaelled Heroic Games Launcher. I use it to launch my games from Epic and GOG, and everything was working fine. Games would launch, and with the exception of one having issues that have to do with the graphics card on Linux, things have worked pretty well. I made adjustments to get Star Trek Online to not be laggy, and it was great, until today. I went to play this morning and got a little more lag than normal. Went to go back to it later, and it...
Solution:
So update your driver.

GameMode ERROR: D-Bus error: Did not receive a reply

I was playing Hollow Knight earlier on the native Linux build. My controller went weird and I ended up restarting my computer. After the restart, Hollow Knight no longer launches. A separate install of the game, still native Linux, launches just fine. The dbus service is running. I looked up the error code and found a github issue saying that it was a problem with some games' "native linux version" really being a packaged wine build, but I do not believe this is the case here. I have reinstalled...

Blue Protocol reliable Crashing

Since Steam cant run because of ACE Epic games install seems to work and worked flawlessly all day yesterday. from this morning I can log in and play for a bit then it just freezes. Nothing has changed on my system that I know. but the log file attached shows quite a lot of flags for me. the freeze plays the music segment to finish. so something else is going on.(IMHO)...
