Unable to see wine on Heroic Flatpak (Fedora 38)

I installed the heroic flatpak version due to a game syncing issue on the .rpm version of heroic, but Im not able to see wine staging like I can on the .rpm version of heroic. Is there any way to import basic wine 8.6 into the heroic flatpak version? Thanks

Try downloading a wine version from our built-in wine downloader tab @BJET

Wine-ge will probably get you more fps anyway. Anyway use wine-ge You can't import native apps into flatpak And wine-ge is better anyway

you probably need to give your flatpak access to wherever the wine staging binaries are, use flatseal for that you can see where the wine-staging binaries are probably using the .rpm version (it shows in the logs)

No idea You can make a seperate post for that I'm sure its an easy fix I dont think that would work would it?

I don't know, I don't use the flatpak version haha, that's why I said probably, I can't confirm that but I can imagine that maybe it can't see it because of permissions, doesn't hurt to try

You can't give Flatpak access to your /usr/bin/ (where your system Wine lives), that would defeat the purpose of the sandbox That being said, @BJET, if you know of any other Wine versions where your controller works (Wine-Tkg for example) & they're packaged similarly to Wine-GE, you can place those into ~/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl/config/heroic/tools/wine/ and Heroic will pick them up (after a restart)

Games may or may not support different brands of controllers (and with that different input APIs) Xbox controllers (XInput) are supported by most games. If you're using something else, you might be able to use xboxdrv to make it look like an Xbox controller (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xboxdrv#Mimic_Xbox_360_controller_with_other_controllers, page is also applicable for non-Arch distros)

add the game as a Steam shortcut and run it through Steam PS controller support in games is iffy at best

yeah it only works 100% of the time if you use the SDL input mode wine-ge defaults to HIDRAW

I also have layered in the steam-devices package to get my stuff working. I don't know if this specifically helps in Heroic or just Steam
