Removing a Game

How do I remove a game from my list so that I can reinstall it? Linux mint 21.3. I had it installed before my HD crashed but now i'ts being a pain in the butt trying to reinstall it. Or is there some way to clear my game list completely and start from scratch?

are you using the flatpak or another version of heroic?

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

flatpak

robust-apricot•6mo ago

which store(s) do you want to reset?

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

my whole list bassically, at least i think, basically gog and epic i did get my gog version of divinity ii to install and it seems like my fallout 4 gog is installing, but ones I previously tried and were unsuccessful with just won't try again despite reboots

robust-apricot•6mo ago

~/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl/config/heroic/legendaryConfig/legendary/ has installed.json in it, you can delete that i think there are some .raw files that need to be deleted as well

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

k well my llnux isnt that good, i presume that is a config file?

robust-apricot•6mo ago

no, it's the list of installed games through Epic

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

i have very few epic games most are gog

robust-apricot•6mo ago

legendary is the API used for connecting Heroic to Epic

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

while I appreciate the help, ya lost me. I understand epic is one of the options, but what are you telling me?

robust-apricot•6mo ago

do this

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

is heroic itself a product of epic?

robust-apricot•6mo ago

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

k in terminal?

robust-apricot•6mo ago

either way, you can do it in the terminal or from your file explorer

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

no such file or directory I have it on my external i think checking the drives

robust-apricot•6mo ago

are you saying that this: ~/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl/config/heroic/legendaryConfig/legendary/ doesn't exit for you?

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

dunno yet, it's still checking

robust-apricot•6mo ago

checking what?

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

my drives

robust-apricot•6mo ago

if you open a terminal and paste in cd ~/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl/config/heroic/legendaryConfig/legendary/ why would you need to check your drives? you lost me here lol

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

looking for what you told me to look for join the club

robust-apricot•6mo ago

okay, don't do more or less than what i suggest here. it's a tough impulse to resist open a terminal and past cd ~/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl/config/heroic/legendaryConfig/legendary/

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

k i just tried the thing you wanted and it returned some info

robust-apricot•6mo ago

describe what you actually did please

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl/config/heroic/legendaryConfig/legendary$ i just copied and pasted your cd command into terminal

robust-apricot•6mo ago

okay, and if you type ls or ll do you see installed.json as one of the files?

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

which is better in this case?

robust-apricot•6mo ago

i find ll to be easlier to read through

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

robust-apricot•6mo ago

hmmm post the heroic log please

HeroicBot•6mo ago

Please see the following images on how to send a Heroic / Legendary / GOGDL / Nile log file:

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

mostly its installing another game at the moment would be a large text of repeated info

robust-apricot•6mo ago

do it anyway

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

ok said it failed to upload

robust-apricot•6mo ago

and did it also tell you to check the log? it may have uploaded anyway

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

says to check general log

robust-apricot•6mo ago

another option to uploading it that way is to copy it from the log folder to your download folder, then uploading it to discord

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

yeah i thought about that hmm upload failed again and i tried to send the log report i stopped the install of the other game i think it might be interferring it fails when i try to send the text file

robust-apricot•6mo ago

are you checking the general log? i already told you that it might have uploaded anyway.

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

what are you calling the "general" log?

robust-apricot•6mo ago

the heroic log

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

there is an optiong to show the log file in folder, thats the one i also tried to send but it wont

robust-apricot•6mo ago

read this carefully

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

ok it looks like the file uploaded because I can see it

robust-apricot•6mo ago

uploaded where?

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

dunno i thought to you

robust-apricot•6mo ago

i can't access it without a link

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

one of the options is to show uploaded log files, it allows me to read or delete it says uploaded 2 mins ago

robust-apricot•6mo ago

then give me the link that it gives you on that same line

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

k https://0x0.st/8z5z.log

robust-apricot•6mo ago

flatpak update && flatpak install --reinstall com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

installing done exit oops

robust-apricot•6mo ago

try installing an epic game through heroic lol no worries

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

i only have like one i think

robust-apricot•6mo ago

if it doesn't work, upload a new log

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

not sure i even have one to be honest lemme check is there an easy way to list my games from epic?

robust-apricot•6mo ago

make sure the filters are set up in the top right

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

k well i dont think i have any epic games i have a login but thats about it for them any particular setting for the filter? sorting by status at the moment

robust-apricot•6mo ago

as long as either all or none of the stores are checked, you should see everything

robust-apricot•6mo ago

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

checked? hmm

robust-apricot•6mo ago

checked or unchecked

robust-apricot•6mo ago

top right

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

yeah i found it gog and epic are at least checked and other

robust-apricot•6mo ago

okay ~/.config/heroic/gogdlConfig/heroic_gogdl/manifests/ go to this directory and delete every file that should reset your installed gog stuff

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

well i can get as far as the .config dir but heroic doesnt exist

robust-apricot•6mo ago

right, sorry ~/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl/config/heroic/gogdlConfig/heroic_gogdl/manifests/

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

terminal?

robust-apricot•6mo ago

either way

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

or corrected dir

robust-apricot•6mo ago

corrected directory

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

k k i posted that in my browser and it looks like a webpage

robust-apricot•6mo ago

don't post it in your browser, use your file explorer i don't know what mint uses

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

it has a file explorer but its kinda wonky trying to put in paths i will use the term k well thats not gonna work, so im supposed to delete files?

robust-apricot•6mo ago

yeah, you can do this rm ~/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl/config/heroic/gogdlConfig/heroic_gogdl/manifests/* after you do that, restart heroic and those games should show as uninstalled

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

k well i guess we'll see nope, pretty much all here

robust-apricot•6mo ago

when you say "all here" what do you mean be specific

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

but maybe it will now allow me to reinstall i still have the one game i had installed plus the one i was installing but paused, and all the greyout ones that haven't been installed my one game is installing again, the one I paused, i don't want to screw with it too much in case that is causing part of the prob brb smoke break

robust-apricot•6mo ago

go to this directory ~/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl/config/heroic/gog_store/ open installed.json and remove the games that aren't the one you already installed and the one that is installing now

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

is it like steam and uses numbers for the games?

robust-apricot•6mo ago

i have no idea what you mean

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

well i can view that directory and the json file, but it doesnt seem to list any games by name just has things like

robust-apricot•6mo ago

open that json file, the games are listed in that json file remove the entries from there

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

no games listed that i can see it just looks like a config file

robust-apricot•6mo ago

did you open the json file? installed.json

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

yeah in a browser

robust-apricot•6mo ago

do you have any text editors on your machine?

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

0

robust-apricot•6mo ago

fascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago

robust-apricot•6mo ago
