Help Needed: Game Won’t Launch

Hey everyone, I’m having trouble with my fan game through Heroic. It has launched before without any issues, but now it randomly won’t open at all. When I try to run it, nothing happens, no error popup, no log window, just silence. Does anyone know what could cause this or how I can check logs to figure out what’s going on? Thanks in advance!...

Can't Play Circus Electrique

The game seems to run well on linux, but it doesn't respond to any input. It stays on the start menu no matter what key I'm pressing. Is there a way to fix this? I own the game on my Epic Games Launcher and I'm using Linux Bazzite for gaming on linux....
Solution:
Thanks. I enabled steam proton, then I uninstalled the game with the prefixes folder (it was an old one when I tried to play it few months ago) and now that I installed the game again I don't have the same issue

Kingdom Come Deliverance ui texts missing

I'm trying Kingdom Come Deliverance for the first time. First it didn't start because my GPU (RTX 4070) was unsupported. Switching from Wine-GE-Proton8-9 to Wine 10.7 (staging) fixed that and the game starts. During the intro video, I see weird codes in the subtitles all starting with @. Then in the menu everything starts with @ui_. I suspect translation texts are missing, switch to German, and indeed nothing changes. So why are these labels missing, and how do I fix this?...

Regarding Steam Games Installation

Hi! I did read the frequently asked questions section about how some Steam games fail to install on Heroic. I am sorry if this question is repetitive, but can someone just clarify if this situation I am facing falls under this category of problem? I had spent a lot of time and am not sure what the actual problem is. So I have been trying to install Star Wars Battlefront 2, a game I own on Steam, through the Heroic Steam option. I have a MacBook with Silicon M1 chip. It had been stuck on 99% and then the download shows corrupted. I have tried clearing cache, as well as rebooting and reinstalling, but the same problem occurs. Is this a heroic problem or is it fixable? If it is a problem about Steam's outdated version and incompatibility, does anyone know if there is any other free option to run the Steam game on MacOS aside from Crossover?...

Stats Overlay won't Disappear on Games

Hello, I have Cyberpunk 2077 installed (the macOS version) on Heroic but I have the Stats Overlay showing up in game and there is no option to display it anywhere (unlike the Windows version I had before - see image attached). Is there a way I can toggle off the Stats overlay on my game? Even if manually I have to enter a new env variable (which one should I put?) I tried DXVK_HUD=0 but that didn't work. Thank you!
Solution:
this didn't work but i tried MTL_HUD_ENABLED=0 and it worked, thank you!! 🙂

No video in gaming mode

Hey. I'm currently having an issue where games work perfectly in desktop mode, but in gaming mode I only get audio, no image. I'm currenlty using the appimage of Heroic, but tested with the flatpak version and the same issue occurs. it seems somehow related to umu-launcher because disabling it seems to fix the issue, although I believe that's not an ideal solution. Here's the log. Thanks! https://paste.gloriouseggroll.tv/?b560fd285b381f6c#FA6qtHssyhCLbeJzRr8wSbfwvdTrxkBhAPGHUaqz92LN...

Lego star wars lag

Okay, so I am trying to get Lego Star Wars the Complete Saga to work, and I have tried a bunch of things now that it's difficult to list all of them, but I've been struggling to get this game to run for a while now. It keeps lagging as though it's a slideshow, and I've tried running it on both Heroic and Lutris now with both having the same issue. I've ran it in proton and wine, and it's starting to become frustrating. There is also an issue with the ships on the menu seeming to be missing textures. The millennium falcon is white with red streaks....
Solution:
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 might fare better than that

Downloading GOG Games on Mac

Since I installed Heroic Games Launcher on my Mac, I honestly only keep running into issues. Downloads either don’t start at all or they stop and freeze after about 3 seconds. The installation of the two games I currently have was really tedious, with lots of long waiting, starting/pausing downloads, and so on. I’ve already done some research, but nothing has helped so far. Does anyone have an idea what the problem could be?
