Heroic wont let me install Watch Dogs 2 on Epic Games
It says status: broken, but i dont care i just want it to install it. Because i know it works because ive played it using lutris, but i would rather use heroic over lutris for epic games.
Anyway to bypass this weird restriction?

you can still override it to install
the game works, but no multiplayer

and how exactly can i do that?
because it just installs for a couple seconds then stops

you can't install Watch Dogs 2 with heroic/legendary, you have to install it using Ubisoft Connect, use option 1 from this guide https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/wiki/How-to-install-Ubisoft-Connect-on-Linux-and-Mac to install Ubisoft Connect inside Heroic
