No Amazon store games load on Deck

See related GitHub issue- I was directed here. Not game specific, all Amazon games behave the same. Regardless of Wine GE or Proton etc, games only sit at "playing" and get no further. Log in GitHub link. Let me know if I'm missing something obvious lol

Known issue don't report bugs (to prevent spam)

Once 2.9.1 releases and there's an issue then it's a valid one

Thanks, I was about to add my game logs

popular-magenta•7/25/23, 5:56 AM

It seems to be trying to call flatpak, and failing

that part isn't

radical-lime•7/25/23, 7:59 AM

depending on a game

progressive-amaranthOP•7/25/23, 11:05 AM

No worries and thanks for the info! It was odd because Epic and GOG games still work fine, just Amazon haha. Anyway, I will wait for 2.9.1 and try again

radical-lime•7/25/23, 11:06 AM

share the game log you are trying to run, maybe it's unrelated to Heroic issues but wine configuration

With proton I had a flatpak launch error, with Wine-GE-Latest I have a "nile launch: error: argument --wrapper: expected one argument"

Just update heroic to 2.9.0 through the discover store. But you will not be able to play anyway as is it broken already :d waiting for 2.9.1 as I'm also affected by the "no such file or directory: flatpak" issue

efficient-indigo•7/25/23, 10:34 PM

It is because nile uses flatpak cmd to check if some apps are installed, however, flatpak command does not exist inside of a flatpak runtime, which is the way Heroic is bundled if you install it by Discover

embarrassing-maroon•7/26/23, 2:30 PM

Thanks! Is there a workaround for cases where Heroic is installed using Discover?

nursing-lime•7/26/23, 4:24 PM

I doubt this is the ideal way to do this, but I have used flatpak-spawn --hostflatpak-spawn --host to run flatpak commands from within another flatpak app

e.g., flatpak-spawn --host flatpak run com.google.Chromeflatpak-spawn --host flatpak run com.google.Chrome

wet-aqua•7/27/23, 5:53 PM

developed-pink•7/27/23, 6:04 PM

It works! Tks!

Wwet-aqua don't use proton

then-purple•7/27/23, 6:19 PM

Yeah, wine-GE works but why proton does not? Is this an issue or just how Nile/heroic works?

embarrassing-maroon•7/27/23, 6:20 PM

Amazon games work for me as well with Wine GE & latest heroic games version. Thanks!

nursing-lime•7/27/23, 6:20 PM

Proton is not intended to be run with non-Steam games outside of Steam

nursing-lime•7/27/23, 6:21 PM

GE-Proton also has a knack for failing to work outside of Steam as well

then-purple•7/27/23, 6:26 PM

Thanks for the tip

progressive-amaranthOP•7/28/23, 12:46 PM

OP of this help request. The 2.9.1 update now allows Amazon games to work for me the Wine GE. Thanks a ton guys! Do you have a Patreon or kofi or anything?
