Can’t get GTAV to work with Heroic Launcher

I tried this: " Yes, the R* launcher is causing issues on Heroic as of lately, but it can be fixed using the following steps (copied from Lemmy): After installing the game, run it once so it installs the Rockstar launcher, log in (you've already done this) Close the Rockstar launcher In the game install folder, create a file called fix.bat with this content (the file has to be in the same folder as PlayGTAV.exe): start /B "null" "C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Launcher\LauncherPatcher.exe" ping -n 20 localhost > nul ./PlayGTAV.exe %* 4. Set this file as an alternative EXE in the game settings in Heroic 5. Run the game " This used to work before, but it doesn't work now... Rockstar launcher can't seem to detect the installed game.

This week Rockstar updated their launcher and it broke on heroic, we're waiting for a fix, let's hope soon 😦
rising-crimson
rising-crimsonOP10mo ago
oh, so everyone is experiencing the same issue...
rival-black
rival-black10mo ago
Unfortunately yes
passive-yellow
passive-yellow10mo ago
working for me this morning. I had to update hero, clear chace, re authenticate Epic through Hero, and Rockstart when lauching GTA It worked only when I launched GTA in Game Mode, it would not launch in desktop mode
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire10mo ago
Same here, I will try what Parastie mentioned and hope it will work Nope, still not working, is there any other way to get working without the heroic launcher on Steamdeck ?
rival-black
rival-black10mo ago
on linux? you need to install the epic game launcher directly or use lutris to do everything for you but for me only ever heroic worked, lutris and the standalone launcher method always made the game crash after 5-6 minutes
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire10mo ago
So just wait for a fix from heroic ?
rival-black
rival-black10mo ago
but it might be different for you yeah i guess 😦
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire10mo ago
Shit…. Damn rockstar with their launcher
passive-yellow
passive-yellow10mo ago
Steam deck
rival-black
rival-black10mo ago
damn rockstar in general, we can't even play gta online anymore which version of proton are you using?
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire10mo ago
I tried the same as you mentioned on my Steamdeck, didn’t work unfortunately..
rival-black
rival-black10mo ago
and are you still using the fix.bat?
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire10mo ago
Not sure if it’s a proton issue…
rival-black
rival-black10mo ago
i know but at least it's something the game works for him, so there's must be something going on
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire10mo ago
It’s not only Gta V it’s the whole launcher that doesn’t check the availability of the game from epic games store… I saw also another post about RD2, and the same (BUY IT) shit…
rival-black
rival-black10mo ago
it's strange tho, because when the launcher starts, you can see another window opening for a split second which says: Installing that's the window that opens when the game is loading behind the launcher
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire10mo ago
Exactly!!!
rival-black
rival-black10mo ago
but the launcher won't even recognize it maybe it's something wrong with the prefixes folders?
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire10mo ago
I tried with fix.bat It basically opens commander and try to run the script, but then stuck again in R launcher
rival-black
rival-black10mo ago
yeah RDR2 doesn't work, i opened a thread too i'm just gonna buy again the game on steam rockstar broke the launcher 3 times only this yeat year*
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire10mo ago
How can you buy it if it’s shows unsupported on steam for steam deck ? Or it’s only online thing ? Was it the same with heroic ? Or in general ?
rival-black
rival-black10mo ago
it's unsupported because of gta online single player works i think only heroic
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire10mo ago
So if I buy it and put in my library, I can install and just have fun with story mode
rival-black
rival-black10mo ago
yes
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire10mo ago
And heroic got it fixed, correct ?
rival-black
rival-black10mo ago
yeah but it never took so much (i don't want to disrespect the heroic devs) i really like heroic, i basically use it everyday
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire10mo ago
Of course, I mean as far as I see the comments and threads, it’s been like 2-3 days
rival-black
rival-black10mo ago
rockstar is the problem
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire10mo ago
Same here Yup I got an update to heroic today within the store, updated it but nothing changed So maybe they are working on a solution
rival-black
rival-black10mo ago
i don't know how parastie got it to work lol
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire10mo ago
@Parastie can you kindly let us if you did other changes except the update and clearing cache ?
rival-black
rival-black10mo ago
i just tried the same things, and nothing works
passive-yellow
passive-yellow10mo ago
Steps I took: 1. Updated Hero 2. cleared Cache 3. Attempted to launch GTA in Desktop mode and it failed 4. Swapped to Game Mode and launched again 5. Asked to reauthentice with Rockstar Launcher, this worked. note, I had the .bat hack working prior to this
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire10mo ago
You updated the hero within the store, correct ? And you still have the fix.bat as a secondary exe?
passive-yellow
passive-yellow10mo ago
I updated hero from the updater on Steam Deck desktop mode I forgot what it's called the package manager
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire10mo ago
Yes, I call it the store, but yes the updater, I got the same update today
passive-yellow
passive-yellow10mo ago
right
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire10mo ago
And still working without any issue ? When you open it, do you get the fix.bat running first and then try to log in and start the game ?
passive-yellow
passive-yellow10mo ago
yeah, launched the .bat file loaded and the game launched immediatly after authenticating with Rockstar let me try again and see if it's working also, I'm laucnhing GTA from the Steam Console
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire10mo ago
Can you please share maybe a photo of the .bat file ?
passive-yellow
passive-yellow10mo ago
it's added like any other app not from Hero
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire10mo ago
Yes, same here
passive-yellow
passive-yellow10mo ago
give me a few minutes, I just got home
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire10mo ago
No worries, take your time)
passive-yellow
passive-yellow10mo ago
well now it doesn't want to launch 😂 let me try something I swear, I got it to work the first time
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire10mo ago
😅😅 Same BUY IT shit ?
passive-yellow
passive-yellow10mo ago
yup probably would need to clear the cache and reautheticate everything, but I don't have time rigth now RDR2 (bought through steam) still works fine sorry to get everyone (including mine!) hopes up
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire10mo ago
Yup, that’s the thing with steam all good, I also have RDR2 on steam and everything is fine, it something to do with Heroic. GTA V is little expensive for me on steam right now, and since I had perfectly working before, I will just wait till they update something.
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
This is because rockstar launcher changed the way it talks to EGL to authenticate games. and heroic, (more specifically legendary) probably does not support this new method.. and it wouldnt surprise me if rockstar launcher is the only thing that does it this way so methods to play the game like lutris or setting up a bottle with EGL should probably work as using EGL clearly works.
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire10mo ago
But do you think Heroic developers will figure something out or fix that ? Since @positiveoctopus mentioned that the same happened couple of times this year and they managed to fix it
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
this particular thing hasnt been fixed in the several times they've done this this year but other work arounds were employed
conscious-sapphire
conscious-sapphire10mo ago
can anyone try this workaround? - create a text file called fix.bat next to where the PlayGTAV.exe is located (the game installation folder) - put this content inside the file (copy paste it, don't type it)
start /B "null" PlayGTAV.exe %*

ping -n 20 localhost > nul

GTA5_BE.exe %* -useEpic -fromRGL
start /B "null" PlayGTAV.exe %*

ping -n 20 localhost > nul

GTA5_BE.exe %* -useEpic -fromRGL
- in the game settings > advanced tab > select the fix.bat as an alternative executable - launch the game
conscious-sapphire
conscious-sapphire10mo ago
you can also download the file from here and put it next to the PlayGTAV.exe file
conscious-sapphire
conscious-sapphire10mo ago
this should: open the Rockstar launcher, wait 20 seconds, open the game it worked for me on linux we can then adapt it for RDR2

deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
gta save games are cloud saved via rockstar's systems
rising-crimson
rising-crimsonOP10mo ago
Yup the game has launched! What can we do about the saves?
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
what thing about saves? mine works fine the saves are cloud based in rockstar's servers
rival-black
rival-black10mo ago
What should I write in place of "GTA5_BE.exe" if I'm trying to play RDR2?
conscious-sapphire
conscious-sapphire10mo ago
I don't own RDR2 so I'm not sure about that one, looks like it needs something different but I don't have the game on epic to try that out and debug it if you have the game working with the epic games launcher it might be useful to see a list of the system processes when the game is running
rising-crimson
rising-crimsonOP10mo ago
I did a fresh install on my new laptop. You would have been playing it for some time now and might already have the save. I copied the saves from my previous lappy, and it's working fine now...
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire10mo ago
So I managed also to lunch GTA V, but how can I return the cloud saves ? And every time I need to sign in and wait and then it shows need to sign in with rockstar launcher… And why on earth I need to sign in with rockstar each time 🫠🫠
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
I've installed the game on multiple devices and the same state of the game loads on all of them on fresh installs, without doing anything.. so im not sure what you're talking about
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire10mo ago
Unfortunately I don’t get my save at all, even if I’m logged in I can see my progress in the website, but nothing in the game itself even if I’m signed in
rare-sapphire

absent-sapphire

But what about saves? Anyone managed to get them back ? Or everyone having everything working except me ?
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
yes mine work fine like i said
conscious-sapphire
conscious-sapphire10mo ago
I didn't have saves so I don't know, but Allora said all saves were there saves are handled by the rockstar launcher, not by heroic, if it keeps asking you to login then it's probably related to that
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
yeah you need to be signed in and obviously offline mode is not possible
rare-sapphire
rare-sapphire10mo ago
no, it doesnt show my saves
absent-sapphire
absent-sapphire10mo ago
So @PacMan111 also doesn’t have the saves, and I’m also logged in… It’s shows my name and everything that I’m signed in Maybe I need to reset rockstar launcher and try again ?
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
maybe you have some problem connecting to rockstar then? do you see any errors for me the game loads up in the same place i saved it last with no changes. as arieljuod said this is through rockstar's launcher that handles saves, heroic doesnt manage these
correct-apricot

Well, weirdly, the above fix launches the battleye installer for me and not the game. If I change the last line to run GTA5.exe then it launches the actual game but not the R* launcher and thus complains that it's not connected to rockstar services. If then I try to launch R* launcher, it apprantly can't seem to initialize, even after following the instructions at "https://docs.getwhisky.app/game-support/gta-5.html" .
conscious-sapphire
conscious-sapphire10mo ago
try replacing the first line so it open the rockstar launcher explicitly
start /B "null" "C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Launcher\LauncherPatcher.exe"

ping -n 20 localhost > nul

GTA5_BE.exe %* -useEpic -fromRGL
start /B "null" "C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Launcher\LauncherPatcher.exe"

ping -n 20 localhost > nul

GTA5_BE.exe %* -useEpic -fromRGL
conscious-sapphire
conscious-sapphire10mo ago
Thanks. I actually ended up going to those-websites-we-shall-not-name and grabbed a copy of GTA V divorced from R* to play on my mac. The offline mode clearly works... it's the launcher which can't keep it together and I have had enough of them for changing the terms after the sale.

sorry for pinging you, how do i download the same game again but on another SD Card? if i go on heroic it still shows installed but not available i'm trying to install GTA V on another sd card
conscious-sapphire
conscious-sapphire10mo ago
when you install the game it lets you pick where to install it one thing that can happen though is that if you use the flatpak version of heroic and it doesn't have access to that directory, it may try to install it but then it won't be able to do that and thing it was installed or something like that so if you use heroic flatpak, make sure it has access to the drive you want to use using Flatseal
rival-black
rival-black10mo ago
yeah it already has access, i just need to know how to download the game again because it is still marked as installed
conscious-sapphire
conscious-sapphire10mo ago
oh sorry I misunderstood, there's a move game feature in the game page > 3 dots menu you can't download a game twice another option is: - rename the original install folder - heroic will think it's not available anymore - try to run the non-available game - heroic will tell you it seem the game is removed and ask you if you want to mark it as not installed - then you can install the game again but you can't have the same game installed twice and heroic recognize both at the same time if the game shows as installed but not available and you try to play it it should ask you to remove it from the installed list now I re-read and I think my last sentence is what you want? I misunderstood the message twice haha

Heroic has settings "areas", one global, and one game-specific. You want to press the ⚙️ icon on the game card to open the game-specific settings, not the "Settings" sidebar entry (which opens the global settings)

CommandMC
CommandMC10mo ago
Yup that's set correctly there Have you tried using Whisky instead of CrossOver? CX doesn't really give any helpful logs, and as far as I know, Whisky should work as well To use Whisky in Heroic, you just have to install it and restart Heroic (if you had it open). Heroic will then detect that you've installed Whisky. In the game settings again, the "Wine Version" dropdown will now have an option for using Whisky. Select that, then re-run the game
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
yes, i just tried but the game didn't work: https://0x0.st/Xhsr.log
CommandMC

Well something's certainly happening there I don't know enough about macOS to help further sadly. Might want to ask on the Whisky server instead
deep-jade

equal-aqua
equal-aqua10mo ago
hmm - even trying to open the Rockstar Launcher explicitly doesn't work either - it still requests to install BattlEye (even though I have disabled it in Settings of SocialClubHelper.exe). I'm so fed up with this that I think I'm going to have to go to those-websites-we-shall-not-name and get rid of this R* Launcher garbage.
conscious-sapphire
conscious-sapphire10mo ago
yup. and the game launches much faster now that the R* launch is no longer involved.
equal-aqua
equal-aqua10mo ago
it definitely does for sure! I'm noticing one tradeoff is I don't have access to my cloud save (wasn't really far and just redid all the missions - what an amazing game). Resolution setting was a bit wonky using Whisky (works in CrossOver but it doesn't look necessary to use it). glad I don't have to deal with Steam Input shenanigans to get my DualSense to work wirelessly like in Windows. So happy I can play GTA on my M1 now!

you can flatpak run com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl >> file.txt

right that's it. used to rip stuff using that BACK IN THE DAY a long long time a go okay so it says i'm not logged in, but i am, i'm going to close the game now

yeah no it's fine i keep my system mostly up to date except for the stupid updates that it's constantly pushing which make no sense
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
yeah but sometimes the updates get wonky hence the command up above ensuring heroic gets the right dependencies
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
a refresh of this or that, whatever that means i mean i can update my stuff but i don't think it will impact anything
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
no but it will ensure heroic's dependencies are all there.
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
alright
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
sometimes an update to something else might break that
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
restarting system back in the day if you wanted games on linux you had to pay for it. 15 bucks a month for cedega and that was the cool thing, the times were really changing, but it was too expensive for me good luck if you could get anything working with wine yep i'll run it through the console again i downloaded a whole kb for heroic
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
whats your fix.bat look like
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
and that's the output from the console
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
start /B "null" PlayGTAV.exe %* ping -n 20 localhost > nul GTA5_BE.exe %* -useEpic -fromRGL
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
you said heroic was crashing thats the only reason i wante dthe console output heh
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
suddenly it stopped crashing when i ran it from commandline very strange so i kept running it from commandline because don't mess with what works from what i can tell rockstar launcher can't see the game files, and the game can't tell rockstar launcher is running and logged in that's what i'm seeing but i don't know why i miss the old days when you could just run a no cd patch
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
right thats what the fix.bat fixes specifically
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
could there be an issue with my wine choice? i'm using the latest wine ge
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
nah i use that
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
any other options i might be missing other than default? i even uninstalled the game like twice and reinstalled it
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
i havent tried on my sd in a while since gta is huge and i dont have space, but on my desktop it works fine yeah uinstalling the game and reinstalling it does basically nothing but waste bandwidth and write cycles
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
yeah but i didn't know what to do very frustrating everything is a prefix this or that, and i even contemplated running it from the default wine prefix kind of shoving everything in one system
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
that wont work
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
fortunately flash memory is getting cheap enough by the time i need a replacement it shouldn't be too bad yeah that's why i didn't do it and i've been following the advice here it's exhausting i don't understand what other logs i can get i don't know what to do
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
do you have rockstar launcher set to auto log in?
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
yes my understanding is that wine has it's c drive or whatever but is it not installed to the same fake windows install? wine always confused me
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
yeah the prefix is actually where all the settings are if you want to over simplify it the game files are installed in another location so reinstalling doesnt really do anything since those files will be identical to what you'd download ... and if there's a problem there, running verify install will resolve any corruption you can try increasing the wait time on the fix.bat file from 20 seconds to something bigger 30 or 40
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
what does -fromRGL do
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
those flags are there to tell rockstar launcher about the game you own through egs
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
hmm yeah still doesn't work rockstar launcher still has buy game

conscious-sapphire10mo ago
it always shows buy game
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
game still says i'm not logged in but i am
conscious-sapphire
conscious-sapphire10mo ago
can you check the system processes while the game is running and check if you have the social club executables running?
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
i have the launcher running what's the command for that again
conscious-sapphire
conscious-sapphire10mo ago
ps or ps ax for more details
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
thx yep, you want output?
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
yeah my launcher always says buy now but the game runs tho maybe that is why some folks cant see their saves 🤔
conscious-sapphire
conscious-sapphire10mo ago
the buy game doesn't go away either when using the official epic games launcher (if I remember right)
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
still pops up saying not signed in please run blah blah to continue, and in the background it says it's loading story mode
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
it used to
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
i can hit escape and it can show the load screens for story mode, but it lasts forever and still complains about not being logged in
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
random thought, but take out the fix bat and see if the launcher wants to update or something?
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
i've done that, nothing happens but i can try again
conscious-sapphire
conscious-sapphire10mo ago
I just saw I have a 2.3GB update, maybe something changed again ☠️ , I'll try once it's updated
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
it connects to services just fine
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
it works here on my regular desktop install btw but i had to force an update since heroic didnt see it 🙃
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
as for gtav, i just recently installed it, so everything should be fresh yeah idk
rare-sapphire
rare-sapphire10mo ago
Ariels bat.fix worked here
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
yeah he's using it
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
i'm still messing in desktop mode for now also i'm on deck
conscious-sapphire
conscious-sapphire10mo ago
I was wrong about this, when running from epic the rockstar launcher main screen doesn't even show up
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
oh wow heroic uses epic right so epic is installed
conscious-sapphire
conscious-sapphire10mo ago
no, it uses legendary
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
i see so is there any hope? should i go online and try to activate my game in rockstars website? i'm going to try proton-ge with umu yeah that didn't do anything

didn't realize it was mac. well i don't think anyone can help me since no one else is getting these issues? idk i've seen similar issues but i don't know how to fix and i think most of the helpers here are done helping me @mewo maybe learn your os first and how to update programs and then come back with your problem
rare-sapphire
rare-sapphire10mo ago
Mewo's log says this in English:

Not sure what kind of help one would ask for if they dont look into theirs to troubleshoot a bit
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
they strike me as a child because that behavior is typically from kids my issues, idk if they can be solved. maybe wait until winter steam sale. that's my solution rn i just wanna go vroom vroom in car in gta @termdisc I've never heard of bazzite, tell me about your faith
modern-teal
modern-teal10mo ago
it's based on Fedora Atomic with your choice of DE. it's more flexible than SteamOS's immutability, but the Atomic-ness of it is still like that. there are more gaming related things preloaded, and you can use the Deck images if you want a Steam Deck-like system of booting right into game mode
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
i remember early redhat and i am biased against it never heard of fedora atomic tho i been out of the game for a while is kde more popular now? gnome kinda got wierd @termdisc can i use lutris to the gta v install heroic installed or no? I ask because i see lutris is preinstalled on bazzite
modern-teal
modern-teal10mo ago
Lutris will have you install and use the Epic launcher, and I wouldn't recommend the Epic launcher to anyone haha. You can just install the Heroic flatpak yourself. Fedora Atomic is Silverblue or Kinoite. I like Fedora because it strikes a good balance between bleeding edge Arch and backdated Ubuntu let's take this part of the conversation to #🌍-offtopic
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
sure
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
even arch isnt bleeding edge x_x it still lags behind official releases by a month or two build an LFS system and live on the edge >:|
modern-teal

modern-teal
modern-teal10mo ago
have you already tried deleting the prefix and changing the runner to GE-Proton9-20?
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
want me to try that? gta is updating now? lemme test this again after update before i do that so this is new, new message "Disconnected from the rockstar games launcher, rockstar games services remain accessible" also had a warning that it no longer supports windows 8 or whatever https://0x0.st/XhhP.log does this work? new log @termdisc you want me to purge what's inside the prefix folder or is there a specific heroic function that refreshes it
modern-teal
modern-teal10mo ago
just delete the prefix folder. there's no specific function for it
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
okay some interesting things are happening the launcher is updating itself, you have to alt-tab to get to that because with the fix.bat the gtav binary takes focus, i'm gonna continue reporting what i notice okay, signed in to the rockstar services, main game still says not logged in does the hanging on story mode thing. i'm going to try wine-ge after purging prefix since maybe that was the issue? just to eliminate it as a possibility i didn't have to log in again? weird
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
both wine ge and proton work fine for this game
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
not for me for whatever reason
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
its to say i dont think the wine type is the issue
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
tried wine ge again, still with the saying to run the thing, gonna change 20 to 40 see whats up in the fix.bat
modern-teal
modern-teal10mo ago
use winecfg to change your windows version to 10
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
i'm not even getting that message anymore tbh lol game executable is not in the c drive just launcher and social club wait nvm, yes default is win 10 do i need some winetricks
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
generally no
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
it keeps popping up to run the thing to continue, but it's running ofc says i'm not logged in when i hit escape. still hanging on loading story mode and i have to force quit in heroic same same same thing i don't know what the issue is. i don't know that it can be solved
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
tried on my steam deck, its presenting the same problems
rare-sapphire
rare-sapphire10mo ago
With appimage too? Only thing that would make diff to outcome i think
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
didnt try with appimagee
rare-sapphire
rare-sapphire10mo ago
So you know what to do 🐸
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
ill give it a shot when i can
genetic-orange

i appreciate you doing that. very cool of you what is appimage so there's an issue with the flatpak?

genetic-orange

maybe the hotfix is in flatpak yeah appimage and flatpak are the same
rare-sapphire
rare-sapphire10mo ago
Didnt work for you?
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
how will this work with flatpak heroic and everything already installed
rare-sapphire
rare-sapphire10mo ago
Appimage and flatpak are seperate
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
yeahhh that's a lotta stuff i don't wanna do
rare-sapphire
rare-sapphire10mo ago
Appimage is a "run as is" thing, doesnt install to your system But still can use your already installed games.
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
teach me sempai it wants me to log in
rare-sapphire
rare-sapphire10mo ago
I already told you above what to do Yes
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
okay okay
rare-sapphire
rare-sapphire10mo ago
If it shows gta v as not installed, just do "import", that would use your already installed game files
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
i see thank you
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
nope maybe worse off since missing deps probably
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
disconnected from rockstar games, is that what you got @Allora no go here either https://0x0.st/XhFm.log
rare-sapphire
rare-sapphire10mo ago
Try with Proton GE Latest instead of Wine GE
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
ive done both doesnt work
rare-sapphire
rare-sapphire10mo ago
Rip
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
yeah something about the deck i guess
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
i'm gonna purge that from my system then
rare-sapphire
rare-sapphire10mo ago
Then Deck is botched i guess
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
.config/heroic go bye bye ? wanna clean up what it installed
rare-sapphire
rare-sapphire10mo ago
Flatpak config is in the .var iirc but better check that before nuking appimage config
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
doesn't look like flatpak to me, i nosed around a bit
rare-sapphire
rare-sapphire10mo ago
Then go ahead
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
wish there was a nicer way to clean house and confirmed flatpak heroic good
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
yeah appimage im pretty sure dumps it where it would normally be if it wasnt a flatpak so you can just delete .config and the appimage file probably
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
flatpak comes preshipped with deps right?
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
yeah which on steam deck is required since the os is read only
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
such a wild concept to me for something based on deb yeah which is insane i kind of get it from a stability standpoint
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
tbh thats not super different from phones right, you get a writablre area, but otherwise the system is read only too
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
since the deck is def a product i'm using my deck as my main machine since somehow the movers killed my psu
rare-sapphire
rare-sapphire10mo ago
Only native thing on Deck is steam itself
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
at least on the deck you can disable that, but then next time you update it will stomp your changes
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
so i'm out a desktop. though windows was getting slow anyway i was ready to build a new comp at least the issue is reproduceable nice to know i didn't accidentally step into some backrooms dimension where everything's the same but only gta v doesn't work for me in heroic
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
works on my desktop though, so either its a flatpak problem or there's something weird in the deck i dont have flatpak on desktop so i cant really test that
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
honestly i'm okay to drop 15 on steam ver during sale i can't remember if i paid money for this or got it free
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
prob still cant play online but it probably works better yeah
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
oh there's no online? i really wanted to try online
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
doesnt work in linux because they added kernel level anti cheat
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
oh that's nice rdr2 online works, so that's weird
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
so you only get the option of single player i'd be surprised but maybe the change hasnt come to rdr2 but id assume going forward most of r*'s stuff will go this way like gta6
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
cool, wonderful way to alienate fans the steamdeck is a whole thing
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
RDR2 doesnt work in linux at least non steam versions due to the launcher issues
genetic-orange
genetic-orange10mo ago
and rockstar is just like, yeah f these guys in particular but i'm old so i'm used to linux getting no love, but i really thought times they were a changin i was really hyped about it
deep-jade
deep-jade10mo ago
games are almost always fine themselves, its usually the wrapper stuff that is bad so launchers and anti cheat thats ok, POE2 works great so

this seems to happen sometimes but you launch it again and the errors are gone I understand GTAV on mac does NOT work with wine-crossover (the free version you can install with heroic), that you need the paid crossover 24

any fix so far?
CommandMC
CommandMC9mo ago
We have some temporary fixes, but nothing ready to test yet
conscious-sapphire
conscious-sapphire9mo ago
to be clear, the current fix.bat workaround seems to work for GTAV it's not a complete fix, but allows playing GTAV
fascinating-indigo
fascinating-indigo9mo ago
ok i tried it seems to work but how come you made a fix.bat file which then isnt a .txt?
conscious-sapphire
conscious-sapphire9mo ago
bat files are just plain text with a different extension

yh but what im trying to say is how you open one and edit it 😂

No because fix.bat works here Check your connection
fascinating-indigo
fascinating-indigo9mo ago
maybe a restart should do i lauch the game and the same pops up that im disconnected from rockstar? ok i fixed this u can pin this for anyone else who might have this issue if you get a "not logged in" after launching gta with the fix.bat go into the file and delete the 20 after the -n and save the file that should fix it
CommandMC
CommandMC9mo ago
Don't do that, that breaks the ping command
deep-jade
deep-jade9mo ago
Probably does signify that maybe there's a "too long" of a wait tho? Ping command fails but game runs?
genetic-orange
genetic-orange9mo ago
how do you have gta v working on steam deck i'm still getting not logged in
conscious-sapphire
conscious-sapphire9mo ago
the latest fix.bat workaround worked for me on my steam deck, I tried it yesterday
genetic-orange
genetic-orange9mo ago
was it updated recently? Allora was able to duplicate my issues
conscious-sapphire
conscious-sapphire9mo ago
have you tried changing the 20 value in the fix.bat file? a user reported that changing that fixed the not logged in error for them
genetic-orange
genetic-orange9mo ago
yep, i've tried everything many times many tests, many logs i don't know why it's working for some people but not others it's pretty wierd
rare-sapphire
rare-sapphire9mo ago
It is not Deck, desktop linux
genetic-orange
genetic-orange9mo ago
logic dictates if you follow 1, 2, 3 you'll get the same result ah i thought you were running deck because of the steam thing at the top there i thought that was a steam thing

you can try reducing the timeout from 20 to like 5 or 10
genetic-orange
genetic-orange9mo ago
and yours worked fine? right? no extra tweaks
deep-jade
deep-jade9mo ago
no i havent had it work no on steam deck
genetic-orange
genetic-orange9mo ago
oh right okay
deep-jade
deep-jade9mo ago
works fine in desktop linux

i need more coffee hm i wonder why this doesn't use battleye right?
CommandMC
CommandMC9mo ago
The game does use BattlEye, but only for online play
deep-jade
deep-jade9mo ago
yeah note that you cant play gtav online
genetic-orange
genetic-orange9mo ago
and the binary being loaded is single player specific? yeah i read about that that's pretty bs
CommandMC
CommandMC9mo ago
No, but the anticheat only initializes if you select online in the main menu

i have not yet seen this mythical main menu

The above is using a new fix that heroic devs are trying, without it it doesnt work on deck for me, but im not sure this fix is quite ready yet
genetic-orange
genetic-orange9mo ago
Do you have an estimated release time?
deep-jade
deep-jade9mo ago
no
genetic-orange
genetic-orange9mo ago
wait is the steam deck the only one experiencing the issue that gets resolved with the new script or is it linux in general? bc im on a desktop linux and my problem is its just redirecting me to the rockstar launcher where it says "buy now"
deep-jade
deep-jade9mo ago
linux desktop works fine with just the current fix.bat but sometimes on steam deck it doesnt work in truth, this should work for everything probably but we'll see what the devs do i was just testing it heh
genetic-orange
genetic-orange9mo ago
so any idea on why it just redirects me to the rockstar launcher and it says "buy now" when using the fix.bat i also tried changing the timeout to 10 or 5 and it didnt work
deep-jade
deep-jade9mo ago
try doubling the time out
genetic-orange
genetic-orange9mo ago
ok i will that fixed it ty and online is working for some reason lol no tweaks needed
deep-jade
deep-jade9mo ago
it'll probably boot you
genetic-orange
genetic-orange9mo ago
oh ok
genetic-orange
genetic-orange9mo ago
is this a fix.bat thing or is this a heroic patch which i can't access because it's in-house?
deep-jade
deep-jade9mo ago
you can totally access it, its in the dev channel, but its some code you have to compile yourself atm.. and its not a patch for heroic, just a special exe that makes the rockstar launcher happy.. anyway i dont know anything about if that will get added to heroic's automated fixes or not
genetic-orange
genetic-orange9mo ago
do you think it needs more time in the oven?
deep-jade

i suspect its fine, but everyone here's a volunteer so things happen when folks have time

I don't know about mac, it is known that crossover 23 doesn't work, the last time someone reported it working on mac was with crossover 24 (the paid one), but I don't have one to test things myself that is for the epic version of the game

the log doesn't show you are using the fix.bat (you still need that even if the error is caused by something else) so do the fix.bat setup and share a new log

Ok I'll do that but I remember that fix.bat was supposed to work after a user has logged in to Rockstar club account. In my case I'm unable to even log in.

So now after using fix.bat I am still getting the error "Unable to launch the game" but the game still launches. Although I am not able to login to Rockstar account and the game just loops on the loading screen. https://0x0.st/8s_G.log

That happens sometimes for me but then it still works maybe make sure you have the wine-dependencies just in case

Install Wine Dependencies by following this guide If this does not immediately resolve your issue, you might also have to delete your Wineprefix (by default it's in ~/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/<game name>) Alternatively, you can use the Flatpak version of Heroic: https://flathub.org/apps/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl

Have you resolved the "not logged in" issue? I'm experiencing the exact same problem as you.
