Total War: Warhammer 1 & 2
Hello.
I'm trying to run both versions from Epic via Heroic Games Launcher and I just can't do it. I don't know what I lack, what options should I enable, there's no database to help like ProtonDB. Sadly don't know why I can't run it.
I'm using Fedora 39 with Proton GE Latest version.

Please send in a game log (read #:pushpin: Read Me First | Frequently Asked Questions if you don't know what that is or how to get one)

I think I won't stick around with HGL, cause with proton and steam you just launch and it works. Here it's 99% failure to run anything from Epic or GoG from my experience
Assuming your system is configured properly, >90% of games in your library should work (we've had multiple people run their full library just to test, all reaching percentages of 95-98%)
I'm (and I'm sure others are) happy to help you with whatever problems you might face, but we're not fortune tellers; gotta give us some info first (in the form of a log file)

I understand, but I can run anything fine from Steam or Lutris, but nothing is working from Heroic...

Ok. I will run total war

it's my log

The application failed to start or there is no application associated with the file. ShellExecuteEx failed: Bad EXE format for Z:\home\siemieniaka\Games\Heroic\TWWarhammer\launcher.exe.Hmm, very strange error. Does
file /home/siemieniaka/Games/Heroic/TWWarhammer/launcher.exe report this file as a valid Windows executable? Could you try verifying your game files (3-dot menu on the game page -> "Verify and repair")?future-harlequinOP•16mo ago
I made a fresh install just for you to make that log
i will do the repair now
future-harlequinOP•16mo ago
Yup that's still the same error
I assume
file does report this as a valid executable?
Did you already try this repair command (mentioned in #:pushpin: Read Me First | Frequently Asked Questions):
flatpak update && flatpak install --reinstall com.heroicgameslauncher.hglfuture-harlequinOP•16mo ago
did that

future-harlequinOP•16mo ago
same stuff i guess
Yeah not sure what's going on there; my best guess would be that the game is 32-bit and something about Flatpak is messing with your 32-bit dynamic loader. Those issues should be solved by the repair command though
At the end of the day, use whatever works and what you'd like to use
future-harlequinOP•16mo ago
same stuff with total war 2
Well this issue would affect all 32-bit games (which are most games really)
Are you using the Flatpak versions of Lutris and Steam as well?
future-harlequinOP•16mo ago
yes
