Yes, the R* launcher is causing issues on Heroic as of lately, but it can be fixed using the following steps (copied from Lemmy):
After installing the game, run it once so it installs the Rockstar launcher, log in (you've already done this)...

MangoHud stopped working with latest Flatpak update
With the latest Heroic update (2.15.2 Hotfix #2, Flatpak) games no longer launch if MangoHud is enabled. Heroic reports
Mangohud is enabled, but 'mangohud' executable could not be found on $PATH
. I have confirmed I have org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.MangoHud
installed (branch 24.08), but Heroic doesn't seem to be able to access it at all, while Bottles (on the same 24.08 branch) can.

HI, HoMM III worked fine earlier, though I've had a couple of crashes. But now, after an update it won't launch at all. It says it's launching, but then nothing happens and it goes back to the state where I could try launching it again. Log file attached.
Thanks in advance for any help....
Hi! Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Complete (GOG) won't launch
So! I bought Homm3 on GOG and I'm trying to play the game, but the game just doesn't starts up. Heroic tries to launch it, but it just never starts. Heroic registers the action and tries to open it because when I click 'Play now' the state of Heroic changes to 'Playing (stop)', but the game doesn't even open a window.
This is the full Heroic log file and also Homm3 log file https://0x0.st/Xk_t.log - https://discord.com/channels/812703221789097985/1306288358020087900/1306289416460832819
Thanks in advance!...

The Suffering Fails to Launch
Hello! I've installed The Suffering from my GOG library that I've synced with Heroic. The game opens to a black or sometimes white screen and then stops responding with the only means of progressing forward being to force quit the app. I am running the Flatpak version of Heroic and I followed the common issues suggestion of reinstalling via the terminal and I got the message "Installation Complete". I am using only defaults, I haven't changed any wine or launcher settings.
Another thing to note; I also tried using the AIO patch from pcgamingwiki.com (linked here: https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/1229-the-suffering-series-aio-patch/) and followed all of its instructions including deleting all dsound files and I created a DLL override in winecfg for the dll dinput8.dll as native, builtin but I have the same issue as before.
I've attached my log file as requested. Please let me know if there is additional information that I forgot to include. Thank you Heroic team!...
Steam Overlay Issue?
So when I add games to heroic and add them to steam, when I launch the games on steam the steam overlay doesn't work. When I tried to add the games directly to steam without heroic the overlay does work. Is this a bug or I have to tinker with the game's launch options on steam to make the overlay work.
