The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition (GOG) not starting

Running Current Bazzite on a ROG Ally z1 extream using Flatpack. After starting Skyrim and select Play game Exits. looking on the internet others claim the error in the log file can be fixed by fixing the Wine libs using packman, since I am using bazzite and flatpack, I don't think this fix is possible. sudo pacman -S wine-staging sudo pacman -S --needed --asdeps giflib lib32-giflib gnutls lib32-gnutls v4l-utils lib32-v4l-utils libpulse \ lib32-libpulse alsa-plugins lib32-alsa-plugins alsa-lib lib32-alsa-lib sqlite lib32-sqlite libxcomposite ...

broken scaling

heroic launches with wonky large scaling - I'm guessing it's doubling the already-2x-scaling I'm using on my 4k monitor. Happens both when launched w/ xwayland (default) or ozone wayland. I've tried clearing the cache and several different heroic versions 🙁 the problem appeared maybe two months ago? log: https://0x0.st/8hQ5.log...
Solution:
not sure why it's so big, but you should be able to zoom out in the Accessibility settings there in the sidebar

Return to mysterious island

Hi, I'm just doing my first steps with Heroic to run my old GOG games on Linux, using Linux Mint, I tried to run Return toMysterious Island 1, which in the beginning was running fine in GOG on my Win 10 machine.Then suddenly i became terribly slow. With Heroic, the start screens appear and load quickly,but on the entry page ("new game") everything incl. music is perfect,when I move the mouse the first time, the pointer junps to the right side andjust moves up and down, a strange behaviour. I use an old MS mouse which should bequite standard and otherwise has no problems on this Linux machine. I thought I might to have to activate the mouse properly.... maybe someone has an idea (I know Mysterious Island I is quitea beast to get it running properly). Thanks to all Martin...

Kingdom Hearts - Launches Menu - Crashes Game

Just trying to launch a selection from the 1.5 remix installation on Epic via Heroic Launcher. It launches the menu but after selecting a specific title, that seems to fail and it just toses me back into the main menu again. Have tried numerous versions of GE Proton to no avail. ...
Solution:
the KH launcher doesn't work on the EGS version. you need to set the individual game's exe as the alternative exe

Trackmania 2020 Broke Recently

Hi, I'm aware people have already asked for support running Trackmania 2020 (with mixed sucess) and that games running on external launchers (Uplay in this case) aren't officially supported. That said, I think my situation is a little different from some of the other threads I've seen. A few weeks ago (~mid July), I was able to run Trackmania 2020 using Epic Games (probably not the best idea). There were no issues with online gameplay or performance (though I would get a random popup about having less than 2 GB of memory before starting the game). At some point, something changed (probably an auto-updated by wine, the launcher, or the game) and the game stopped working. Upon launching, the game would appear to be running, but no window would appear and it would show as not playing. To resolve this, I tried older versions of Game Porting Toolkit and Wine, but those caused Uplay to crash upon startup. Finally, I reset Heroic to stock settings and reinstalled the game. The first time I started the game, the Uplay launched prompted me to login and updated itself. Then, subsequent launches have the same previously observed crashes. Checking the directory where Uplay stores its crash logs yields a bunch of empty files. I'm attaching my game crash log (from Heroic) because that appears to have some information....

Games freezing at initial screen

Hi, I'm new to gaming in linux, and I'm trying to run Calisto Protocol (or any game) from Epic Store. I tried Calisto Protocol and Deathloop but when it loads the screen freezes at the very begining after loading the game, when it shows Unreal, or AMD logo videos it would freeze maybe after 2 secondes, sometimes after 5 seconds so I can see the next video but never get to load fully. With Deathloop it is similar, loads some initial screens and the freezes. Any advice? I'm using Flathub version, I reinstalled it following the instructions in the pinned post here. Calisto Protocol Log, Heroic log...

Import / Export of Categories

Is there a means of importing and exporting categories across devices? I think this would bring greater consistency to organizing larger libraries outside of steam. Speaking of steam, I have noticed non-steam games are organized by App ID within steam. This causes duplication of titles when added to steam from different devices. (Just bringing this to people's attention)...
Solution:
there's no export/import feature yet, nobody implemented it

Is there a way to either set custom icons in the corner of game covers, or disable them entirely?

I use Heroic as a general launcher for all of my games, and as such I add a lot of sideloaded games to my library, which results in a majority of the game covers having the general Heroic icon in the corner. I was wondering if there was any sort of way I could either set custom icons per game so that, as shown in the rough mockup image, I could sort things like which games run through Steam, or what native OS the game uses. Alternatively, I would also be okay with disabling the corner icons enti...
Solution:
there's no feature to change it, but you could hide them with the custom CSS feature go to settings > advanced > scroll down to the custom css box and add this style: ``` .store-icon {...
A sample of games in my launcher as it currently looks. Three of the four games have the basic Heroic icon in the corner.

Lords of the Fallen GOTY - PS4 Controller Not Recognized by Game

I am on Bazzite and using the Heroic Games Launcher from it's "Baazar" store, so I'm using the Flatpak version (I already did the reinstall thing from the FAQ post). I installed Lords of the Fallen GOTY with GE-Proton9-4 from my GOG library, and found that the game does not recognize my PS4 controller. Bazzite itself recognizes the controller fully. HGL recognises the controller fully. The game does not. Is this an issue with HGL, Proton, my controller, or the game? Will this problem be repeated with my other games? I will attempt to include the verbose log Thank you....
Solution:
Didn't think to test my Xbox One controller last night, but I tested it and it works. I have my solution: Proton does support controllers, it's just that Lords of the Fallen doesn't know what to do with a DS4 controller.
