Installer wont launch?

Hi, So first time trying Heroic launcher (flatpak) but i have plenty of experiance with play on linux, wine, winetricks, etc. My internet is EXTREMELY slow so i dont do online installs, i download the exe's myself and use those. so i have them available when tweaking/fiddling breaks things and i dont have to re-d/l them again. I am trying to install a game and after filling out the new app form (excluding the select executable line) I click on run installer first and chose an installer (gog) and then .... nothing happens. (oh, also the file select window shows up BEHIND the new app form, very wierd) I cant click on finish (i guess because select executable is not filled but how can i select the game executable if the game hasnt been installed yet) the wine version chosen (lutris-4.13), was it installed with the flatpak or does heroic still need to d/l it? (is that why the installer isnt running? it isnt showing any visual cue that its busy d/l'ing something) the faq talks about wine-GE-latest .... that is not on my list of wine versions? all i have is lutris-4.13, lutris-fshack, tkg-4.0, tkg-4.2 and proton 5.0 ???

Those versions of wine at 5+ years old I understand your Internet is slow, but like you will get a massive upgrade by spending the time to download a recent version

vicious-goldOP•2y ago

so those are versions on my machine, not versions heroic has access to? ok, looks like heroic is d/l'ing wine-ge

eastern-cyan•2y ago

Yeah it may not have access Depends on the path

vicious-goldOP•2y ago

i am trying to set paths to permanenstly mounted hdd's (/media/mountname/heroic) and when i click select the path displayed in heroic settings is /run/user/1000/doc/aLpHaNuMeRiC/heroic ???

eastern-cyan•2y ago

You have to give heroic the permission to that path Through flatpak

vicious-goldOP•2y ago

sigh, thought that might be a problem does it need permission to the locations of the installers too?

eastern-cyan•2y ago

Probably not Since you only run then once

vicious-goldOP•2y ago

u got a link for the permission modification or must i google?

eastern-cyan•2y ago

Just google lol I'm on mobile

vicious-goldOP•2y ago

smile, flatseal? thats what 3 answers say so far

eastern-cyan•2y ago

Ye Flatseal works cli is easier if you don't have Internet

vicious-goldOP•2y ago

one of the reasons i normally avoid flatpak is because when u do flatpak list to get the app id so u can run other flatpak commands on it u get ...something.otherthing at least with snaps the id is short enough to be displayed when u ask for it!!!! ok, pathing fixed this is the kind of thing that should be in the github wiki >.<

eastern-cyan•2y ago

lol facts the IDs are so long

vicious-goldOP•2y ago

ok, paths fixed, wine-GE-latest is now the selected version .... but run installer first is still doing nothing

equal-aqua•2y ago

permission to location of the installer may also be required if it depends on more files

vicious-goldOP•2y ago

tried that also tested with a solo exe installer its not helpful that u dont even get a processing circle or any feedback at all

eastern-cyan•2y ago

True Def something that can be improved

equal-aqua•2y ago

share Heroic log, from settings after you tried to run the installer

vicious-goldOP•2y ago

the UI already has mouse over popups for other errors/additional info/etc adding a spinning processing circle that changed to an exclamation mark in a red triangle which shows wine crashed or file permission denied etc would be very helpful where is the log? /home/..../Heroic/log ?

equal-aqua•2y ago

you can get the exact file from heroic settings

vicious-goldOP•2y ago

thats cool!

vicious-goldOP•2y ago

message.txt

vicious-goldOP•2y ago

only one ERROR and no FATAL log......

equal-aqua•2y ago

what wine version do you have selected in the modal when you add the game you may need to switch it back and forth so it's set to proper value

vicious-goldOP•2y ago

wine-GE-latest like the faq says we must use before asking, just finished d/l'ing it less than an hr ago

equal-aqua•2y ago

so i need to install wine as per wineHQ? the wine versions that heroic downloads and uses are not independant and needs a functional install behind it to operate??

borgrel@BobblesPlaything:~$ wine --version
wine-8.13 (Staging)

borgrel@BobblesPlaything:~$ wine --version
wine-8.13 (Staging)

i should probably be sleeping if i'm making this many stupid mistakes i dont know why its not picking up a system default

@Linguin ok, so toggling the modals' drop down list and swapping between wine-GE-proton8-14 and wine-GE-latest caused the automatic download mono popup, so thats progress but after that finished, the installer still doesnt display a splash screen or anything else also, the fact that the log is saying no vulkan 1.1 is seriously dodge, i use DXVK in play on linux all the time

eastern-cyan•2y ago

You have to install Nvidia drivers on flatpak as well If you use Nvidia

vicious-goldOP•2y ago

glurk! how?

eastern-cyan•2y ago

flatpak install nvidia-535 And you might need the 32 bit one too

equal-aqua•2y ago

this should be automatic afaik

eastern-cyan•2y ago

Yeah But good to check

vicious-goldOP•2y ago

so will it show up on flatpak list if it is installed?

eastern-cyan•2y ago

Yes

vicious-goldOP•2y ago

hmm, thats wierd i am using 535 for system

eastern-cyan•2y ago

Get rid of the 470 driver lol Yeah other than the driver being a lil old it looks good

vicious-goldOP•2y ago

i hate how flatpak doesnt remove old when it updates

eastern-cyan•2y ago

Yeah it's Nvidia pains Idk how they are gonna fix it when Nvidia driver regresses 70 things every release 💀 You need the ability to download/keep the older ones

so 10 and 14

Which is 14 and also GL32 which is 10 Ye

vicious-goldOP•2y ago

will flatpak remove --unused get rid of the nvidia 470 and 525?

eastern-cyan•2y ago

No (that's the best part) :sunglase:

vicious-goldOP•2y ago

so if the nvidia drivers are not the problem, whats up with my heroic?

eastern-cyan•2y ago

no idea It might be the 470 driver screwing things up

vicious-goldOP•2y ago

how to remove? i'm pretty sure 470 was still vulkan though

eastern-cyan•2y ago

Only vulkan 1.2 tho

vicious-goldOP•2y ago

sure, but the log check is 1.1

eastern-cyan•2y ago

Yeah because dxvk 1.10.3 uses 1.1 dxvk 2.2 which is far better than 1.10.3 needs vulkan 1.3

vicious-goldOP•2y ago

535 64bit is 75% d/l, u can do it!!! and then still 32bit to go 😦 how do i remove 470? since u cant get the app id with flatpak list

eastern-cyan•2y ago

flatpak remove org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-470-161-03 All the Nvidia drivers follow that naming

vicious-goldOP•2y ago

its wierd that its only the 32bit drivers OK WTF!!! removing 470 does seem to have made a differance nvidia 470 was listed as in active use by heroic....... ... any idea where to delete the old versions of wine heroic picked up?

eastern-cyan•2y ago

Should be in ~/.var/app Heroic app id Then .config And I think you will be able to find the rest

vicious-goldOP•2y ago

the ones i just installed (wine-GE-latest and wine-GE-proton-xxx) are there (~/.var/app/com.heroic.../config/heroic/tools/wine/) but the original 4 that were there BEFORE i installed any heroic versions of wine that u said are 5+ yrs old are not those 4 5+yr old versions are the ones that need removal, not the 2 i just installed

equal-aqua•2y ago

do you use Lutris? maybe that's the source of them, check the help dialog under wine version selector, there are exact paths where heroic looks for wine

vicious-goldOP•2y ago

i tried lutris a few times, but it really doesnt play well with pre-downloaded installers so i stopped if u mean library -> add game -> wine version ... i dont see a dialogue i dont see one in wine manager or settings either in settings -> general there is 'custom wine/proton paths' .... but that is empty

equal-aqua•2y ago

yes but under the wine version you got that little help button it shows all the paths heroic searches

vicious-goldOP•2y ago

... And my Linux just crapped out, will ping u when sorted
