a browser should popup for you to authorize the access of the game to your epic account
until that's done the screen remains black

I connected DNF Duel with Epic when the browser popped up
after that the game is still black screen
I relaunched, but still black screen

you also need to send logs
equal-aqua•2y ago
- That's not the game log, so it won't tell us everything
- Install Wine-GE from the Wine Manager inside Heroic, select it in the game's settings, and delete your Wineprefix directory
Waiiiit a minute
Heroic Version: 2.4.3 ChopperPlease update, this version is over a year old
equal-aqua•2y ago
wtf damn
I installed using terminal i dont know much, new to ubuntu
let me update and tell you more about the issue if any
I'd recommend the Flatpak version on anything Debian-based. You'll automatically get updates & get isolated libraries (so Ubuntu's decade-old software isn't an issue)

Can you tell me how to check logs for a game
Either go to "Settings" (sidebar) -> "Log" and select your game, or click "Report a problem running this game" while on the game page
equal-aqua•2y ago
here you go
Right, Heroic version is looking better now
- You're still using your system Wine (you really should use Wine-GE for anything gaming-related)
- Enable DXVK and VKD3D-Proton in the game settings
equal-aqua•2y ago
alright I downloaded the wine GE and enabled it in the game settings and I get another error, now even before opening the game
Did you install the Wine Dependencies mentioned in #:pushpin: Read Me First | Frequently Asked Questions?

Downloading it rn
Damn switching from windows is a pain rn
I'd argue that if you would've used Linux up until now and had to get used to Windows, it'd be a learning experience as well
equal-aqua•2y ago
Yeah I am an aspiring developer so thats the reason I switched to Linux
Btw thanks a lot the game works now!
Also If I switch desktops the game closes auto lol
but still I can play it for now
Enabling "Emulate a virtual desktop" in the Graphics tab of
winecfg
(that's a button in the game settings) might help with thatequal-aqua•2y ago
the game wont run at all now 🥹
and now the
wincfg
button is not opening the menu 💀Huh, interesting
Welp, deleting your Wineprefix (
/home/mj/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/DNFDUEL
) should at least get it working againequal-aqua•2y ago
yes works
thanks a lot!
Doing that (deleting the Wineprefix) is generally a safe bet whenever games don't work, although note that your game's save file (and any other data it creates) is stored in the prefix, so that'll also get deleted
equal-aqua•2y ago
Ya i just realised that lol
its fine for now I just started
thanks a lot for the help sir
Learnt a lot from this thread
