Dual boot, trying to share saved games between OS

Hello! Im relatively new to linux gaming and giving heroic a shot. I have several steam games installed on Windows and managed to point Heroic to it in Linux (PopOS/COSMIC 24.04). They run pretty well, but I was wondering if I could point Heroic to use the saved games of my Windows install too?...
Solution:
Hi, it's not really super possible, no. You could maybe boot a few games through proton, but not most, probably.

Heroic won't launch after creating ~/Games as a symlink to another drive

I have a symlink at ~/Games that points to /mnt/samsung/Games (which is another ssd on my dual ssd setup), and when I try to launch heroic through the terminal it gives the error "bwrap: Can't make symlink at /home/mba/Games: destination exists and is not a symlink", nothing pops up and nothing launches, it just throws this error in the terminal (when launched with "flatpak run com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl") I have added the file permissions in flatseal (I added this line under Other Files "/mnt/samsung/Games/Heroic:create") but that did nothing to fix the issue....
Solution:
anyways I googled the issue and I found someone with similar problem and they said to enable "ALL USER FILES (filesystem=home) " within heroic https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/15nr51p/comment/jvraf2j/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button...

Nine Witches: Family Disruption (GOG) – crashes when playing the developer logo

I wanted to make this game work on my Steam Deck (1st gen 512GB LCD now with upgraded 2TB storage). I have reinstalled it several times, tried different configuration, currently I'm trying with GE-Proton9-13 (but tried 8-32 and latest too, all from Heroic) with the following Winetricks components installed: 7zip, cinepak, dirac, dotnetcoredesktop3, ffdshow, l3codecx, vcrun2008, vcrun2022, vcrun6, xvid (icodecs doesn't install) The crash happens with an unhandled InvalidOperationException .NET exception, with the description "cannot start video." Due to the fact, that the publisher logo plays, but not the developer's logo, I've assumed an unsupported video format, but checking the .mp4 files found under Contents/Videos, both video seem to use the exact same encoding parameters (checking it with VLC), that was the reason I've installed the codecs. I saw issues reported on Steam Community forums, and some reported the need to install .NET Core 3.1 (listed in Winetricks components) and not working after installing .NET 5 (tried to install it, but did nothing resolving the issue). Most post, to my understanding, is something the developer supposedly fixed in the project, and should not occur. I tried ChatGPT, but it's suggestions are hit or miss. Can anyone help me on this?...

Is there a way to use Heroic to launch Wii games via Dolphin Emulator.

Created a bash script with the following command in it: flatpak run org.DolphinEmu.dolphin-emu --exec=~/Downloads/ISOs/Sonic\ Colors\ \(USA\)\ \(En\,Ja\,Fr\,De\,Es\,It\).nkit.iso -b, and set that script to be the executable and the platform to be Linux. The game launches normally when ran from the command line, however fails to launch when I run it via Heroic. Any ideas why?

GOG Games in Linux Online Play

I'm just trying to find out if online play works with Heroic Game Launcher in linux. I heard a project named comet is in development to enable Online Play. The GitHub says that comet has been integrated into Heroic Game Launcher. Just looking for confirmation....

rocket league failing to start

Brand new install via HGL's Epic Store interface EOS is enabled, corefonts installed as per https://github-wiki-see.page/m/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/wiki/EOS-Overlay Still crashes even without EOS enabled though so I doubt that's the issue...

Divinity Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition - SteamDeck OLED

For some reason the DefEd only launches using Wine - Wine-GE, none of the Proton files work. But with Wine-GE-latest, in Gaming mode none of the controllers work (internal SteamDeck controller or external controller via bluetooth). The only way I can play this game using Heroic is selecting the Classic .exe, then it runs ok with Proton and the controllers are recognized. Is there any workaround this issue or?...

Ultrakill not starting

I'm not entirely sure what is happening. I got ultrakill to work a couple days ago. Now trying to play again, it doesn't want to open. I've tried re-adding the game but no luck. Going here to see if any of ya'll know

Playtime Hour counts time in sleep mode

I usually put my steam deck to sleep while playing a game and continue later on. What's weird is that Heroic is including the hours spent in sleep mode towards the total play time and uploading it to GOG. It makes it look like I played for way longer than I actually did. I only played Hollow Knight for ~5 hours, not 70. Games from Steam don't have this issue.

Farming Simulator 22 - "Online Required: NO" but still refuses to start offline

My firewall blocks apps' internet connections by default, so I'm trying to figure out whether I really need to whitelist this game for single player to work, because Heroic says online is not a requirement. So when I launch the game through Heroic, it just gets stuck on the loading screen and I see it trying to connect online in my firewall app. If I check "Run Game Offline" or launch the exe directly, then I get a warning about having to be logged in. Other games (though not all) work fine without allowing them through the firewall, even some marked as "Online Required: YES" like The Callisto Protocol despite connection attempts, so I wonder what exactly "Online Required" even means....
