Use save states from Windows.

Hi I recently installed heroic launcher, added some games that I have on my windows setup and they work fine but I can't use my save states. When I go to game settings I can't see the cloud game sync tab so I can't set the proper path to use. How can I solve this? Do I need to install the games from the store again to be able to sync the states?

Heroes Chronicles and HoMM III HotA not starting

Having read about a similar problem experienced by Michael_P_Giffin with some older games, I would like to ask for help with the Heroes of Might and Magic III game family. Until recently, I was able to launch subsequent campaigns from the Heroes Chronicles series without any issues, but when I reached the last one, Part 8 (Sword of the Frost), I installed it and couldn’t get it to start. The installation seemed to go smoothly, but when I try to launch it, nothing happens and nothing appears. The...

libFLAC.so.8 missing (Star Trek 25th Anniversary)

When launching I get an immediate CTD. Log indicates that "error while loading shared libraries: libFLAC.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". I have this same error with the Interplay sequel to this title as well. This seems to be a common issue among older titles (20+ years old), and I suspect it is due to hardcoded calls to specific DOS level protected mode codecs, whose names have been depreciated in more recent builds of the library....

Controller not working in some games but in others do?

hi, I think I have a fix if you have a game that won't detect your xbox controller knowing that your controller is fine and works with other games. the reason of why this is happening is because the game can't locate the xinput dll, this dll is responsible for detecting and translating your controller's signal, some games rely on finding it in the system32 folder on windows but if you are using linux for some reason the file winecfg don't have these dlls in the library section (just follow the video below to fix it, don't forget to press "add" for new libraries when you select them) also add that xinput9_1_0 I think that is related to games that use directX9. you might ask why some games work fine without this step? I think that those games have these dlls within the game files, this happens with many games when the game for some reason can't reach the system32 folder in windows it crashes but when you add these dlls into the game's folder it works fine. https://youtu.be/WxJPuL4JS5Y please wait until the upload finishes 🙂...

SWAT4 Elite Force not running (GOG)

Hey, I'm having trouble getting SWAT4 Elite Force to run. It bounced between two issues for me. Right after installation the problem is about:
[ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Management.Automation, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies

I searched for the problem and found out that this is probably related to a missing dotnet library, but when I try to install dotnet, it also fails, but with a different problem:...

steam overlay not working with games from the heroic game launcher

This could apply to all 3rd party games, but the only one I have are on gog; which has to launch through heroic. Anyways the games will launch fine, but I can't use the steam overlay with them. Which is an issue for me, as I want to use my gamepad for old titles that generally have no controller support. To be specific games like the wingcommander series. The controlls work just fine on my steam deck with the overlay. With out the voerlay on my desktop, I can't get my gamepad to work with these said games....

Heroic Stopped Launching Games

Hi, I'm pretty useless with Linux, but manged to install Heroic on my steamdeck & it's been working fine for a few months. I tried installing Alan Wake 2 & it was stuck on 0%. Then I managed to install Amnesia but it wouldn't launch. The button goes to orange & back to green. I then tried Midnight Suns & Dead Island 2, which I'd been playing fine, but they wouldn't launch either. I have now installed multiple games from Epic & GOG & none will launch. I've tried logging out of Epic & back in, uninstalling Heroic & then reinstalling it, updating all of the flatpaks & the GE Proton version & everything suggested in the post here. I'm not sure which logs you'd need, but any help I can get would be massively appreciated....
Solution:
Try deleting /home/deck/.local/share/umu/steamrt3/
