No extra error in the logs : (11:22:10) INFO: [Legendary]: Running command: C:\Users\thepi\AppData\Local\Programs\heroic\resources\app.asar.unpacked\build\bin\win32\legendary launch e5f031908d2e460b8757387d1a136e48 --json --offline (11:22:11) INFO: [Legendary]: Launching ReturnalÔäó: C:\Users\thepi\AppData\Local\Programs\heroic\resources\app.asar.unpacked\build\bin\win32\legendary launch e5f031908d2e460b8757387d1a136e48 --language en (11:22:14) INFO: [Backend]: Stopping Display Power Saver Blocker (11:22:14) INFO: [Frontend]: Refreshing Library (11:22:14) INFO: [Legendary]: Refreshing library...

have same problem with 2.8.0... it opens EGS launcher... if EGS would not be installed then same error will come.

sounds like it's not an error of Heroic but the game trying to use EGS explicitly

yeah checked too: i installed in egs regulary.... after that imported in legendary/heroic.... then closing egl client complete.... starting with heroic.. in background it opens then egl. when i am logged in with another epic acount i get "acces denied" the owner of this account does not own this game... bla bla.... maybe it had to do with this: https://gameplay.tips/guides/returnal-how-to-prevent-eos-from-installing-on-launch.html...

Right click on Returnal – Go to properties and then local files.
