SD mount for Genshin

Hey, I'm struggling to get Genshin via EPIC to accept SD card and having done some research I think I need to use this command: STEAM_COMPAT_MOUNTS=/run/media/mmcblk0p1/%command% Will that work in Heroic? Do I need to add it to "game arguments"? Thanks 👍🏻

I think a way much easier way is to use Flatseal (you can download it from Discovery) and give permision to SD Card for Heroic Launcher itself. It will allow you to install Genshin on SD and Create prefix (where actual game files will be stored) on it.

That environment variable is outdated and hasn’t been needed for over a year Heroic already has access to the SD card

Good to know it's out-of-the-box now. Less tinkering for end user is always a good thing 🙂

it's been out of the box since around summer 2022. that said, there is a specific Genshin issue if you want to install the actual game files outside of the prefix one has to use winecfg to create a new virtual drive directed to the SD card or else the Genshin launcher installer will improperly determine that z:\ has insufficient space

Hmmm I really struggled, ended up just downloading from their website and using proton experimental. So far so good 🤞🏻
