Battlefront II not launching anymore

I've played this game a bit, had to disable umu because otherwise it wouldn't launch. Came back to it after a few days, without having changed anythin in Heoric since (it's the only game I'm currently playing within Heroic), and now the game doesn't start up anymore. I'm on kubuntu. I installed Heroic through flatpak....

No games launching on Steam Deck

I downloaded the flatpak, made a gog account and bought a couple games. When I launch them ( GE-Proton-latest), it infinitely is stuck saying launching with no screens popping up (in both desktop and game mode). When I add the games to steam through Heroic, the Steam logo will at least pop up to show it's loading the game but nothing will happen, even after leaving it for hours. The kicker is if I add the game to steam manually as a nonsteam game it works right away(same Proton build), so the games themselves aren't having an issue. It's something to do with Heroic. What is going on here?...
Solution:
Disabling umu is not a good idea in the long run. Your log mentions network issues, so ideally try to get a stable connection and re-enable umu

Rocket league nameplates not appearing MacOS

I am using Macbook Air M3 and everything seems to be running fine with crossover (I couldn't get it to work with GPTK). But it is not able to render nameplates due to some limitations of DXVK I have got to know. I would appreciate if someone who has got it to work can help me with this issue. In my research it seems using D3DMetal is worth trying but I don't know how to enable that. Also these are the logs when I try running it with GPTK.

Steam doesn't launch when pressed "play" on macbook air m1 even though its installed, please help

Im sorry if this is considered a stupid question, im not competent with tech but ill attach the log files, i know absolutely nothing about code, but im assuming there is something else that i need to download for it to launch? I just followed a tutorial from youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8kgG49LWHQ and for him it worked, im not sure why. My software update is Ventura currently, and if possible is there a solution that doesnt require an update?

Alien: Isolation EGS

I've installed this game several times, using different methods, but the result is the same—it won't launch. I've also tried changing Proton versions in Steam, but the outcome is identical. What's going wrong exactly, and is it possible to play this game? Here are the logs: https://0x0.st/Ku7S.log...
Solution:
Try running flatpak update -y in Konsole, then restart Heroic (if it's open) Also, do not change the compatibility tool configured in Steam. Using anything other than the default will make the game no longer launch...

Undertale yellow problems

i'm trying to get undertale, and i'm having problems, i followed this https://www.answeroverflow.com/m/1194898237958672394, yet it doesn't work
Solution:
Hm, nothing in there. Strange Try a flatpak run --command=vkcube com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl --c 1. I assume that reports errors? Have you tried running flatpak install --reinstall com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl as mentioned in #:pushpin: Read Me First | Frequently Asked Questions?...

How to access the Wine Control Panel of a prefix

Bottles has a list of "Wine legacy tools" which includes the Wine Control Panel, where you can edit your Internet Settings for your prefix. Heroic only has WINECFG which gives you the Configuration, but not the Control Panel.
Solution:
Open Winetricks, select "Select the default wineprefix" -> "Run a Wine cmd shell". Run control in the shell, the control panel should open What's your exact use case for this? If you're doing this to fix an issue with a game, we'd like to add a protonfix for it (so it automatically happens for everyone running that game)...

"add to steam" from heroic doesn't launch on steam, game launches and works fine on Heroic

The reason I want to play through steam is because I get steam input and I want gyro controls. I haven't found any other working way except steam input Game is added fine, I click play on steam, it writes for 1 second "launching" then goes back to "play" , nothing happens. If I start through heroic things work fine....

Launching Games via PortProton instead of Heroic

Is there a way to have a listed game be able to launch via PortProton instead of heroic's wine setup? There are certain games that I just cannot get to run right via heroic that run perfectly fine via portproton like my Farcry 3 which loads to main menu within like 10-15 seconds via PortProton but doesn't want to load via Heroic. I looked through the logs to see if there was anything and it was vague cause at first the game would just crash because I didn't have d3dx9_36 but now it's just stuck infinitely loading with no errors in the logs that I can see. I could just load via port proton but I'd like to be able to have all my games listed through heroic if possible so I have 1 central location for launching my games....

FS22 render issues on Steam Deck

I have tried launching Farming Simulator 2022 from the heroic launcher (from Epic Games), using the latest Proton GE, and I have an error every time I launch it about requiring Shader Model 6.0. It is a dialog box and it also asks me to download the latest drivers but pressing yes does nothing. I have tried changing the renderer in game.xml to DX11, DX12, and Vulcan.

Dragon Age Inquisition - EpicGames/EA - Game won't launch through Heroic but can be manually

https://paste.debian.net/hidden/fafd4037 - "report a problem running this game" log https://paste.debian.net/hidden/1cb47fb8 - "DAI log from general settings logs" A couple days ago, I wanted to play DAI through Heroic(flatpak) on linux (gnome/debian 13), i own the game on EpicGames. I installed it through the heroic library and it installed the EA launcher. it didn't automatically install the game through EA nor launch the EA launcher after, so i manually ran the EA launcher through the "run on prefix" option in settings and then logged in and installed the game. (first time i let it install in default place, second time i had it install on X:/Games/Heroic/ with all the other heroic games hoping maybe that would fix the issue. it didn't) ...
