Sleeping Dogs Launch options
Hello, I was wondering if there was a way to add extra launch options to the game on top of the options that heroic already adds.
I got sleeping dogs working fine by adding it to steam and launching it but noticed the text is small. I found two separate ways to make the text larger by using a dinput.dll file, the only requirement is to use the launch option " WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command% " and a custom exe/steam app workaround (both of which I have tried). I tried adding this to the already set launch option in steam but the game crashes right away/doesn't launch.
Adding the %command% seems to be thing that crashes the game as it launches without that part but the text enlarger doesn't work.
The current launch options are:
run com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl --no-gui --no-sandbox "heroic://launch/gog/1741843789" WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command%6 Replies

not exactly, launch options work differently in heroic than they do in steam. you don't generally want to mess with the launch option in steam, and instead add to the environment variables in the game's settings in Heroic
%command% is a specifically steam thing, as well

Interesting, is there a specific command I could add for that "winedlloverrides" command in heroic itself instead of %command%?

it is an environment variable, so add it as such
don't include the quotes in Heroic though
