Windows client: Login to GOG and Amazon doesn't work

Unlike the Linux client, when using the Windows client, the login only works for Epic, but not the other two stores Gog and Amazon. I've already reported this issue mid november on Github: https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/issues/4057#issuecomment-2480842529 - Windows 11 - Fresh install of Heroic version 2.15.2 - Go to "Login" -> "GOG Login" - Enter login credentials Expected behavior: Login works, account added to Heroic, library is shown & shop loads Actual result: After step 4, the login section shows up again and GOG is not logged in, store requires Login.

The github issue is only about GOG, but the same behavior happens for Amazon login. Works fine on Linux

do you have a custom powershell profile setup on your machine?

oh I think I actually do using powershell7 exclusively, I think I uninstalled 5

something is failing in that profile and rendering this output:

breaking the output of the commands there's a fix for next release of heroic, but it's not in the current one so you have 2 options: - update your powershell profile to not output things to the terminal - use the portable version from this PullRequest from github until the next release https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/actions/runs/12724781579

tbh all I really did to the powershell was change the background theme, the rest is basically defauolt but I'll give it a look oh cool thanks

I'd recommend fixing the profile though, it could be affecting other things, not just heroic another option is to wait for the next release, but I don't know when it will be

ok thanks so far. Its outside the scope, so you don't have to answer. The profile looks fine to me but I probably will reset it once I figure out how to

I mean, it's not that the profile is wrong, but it's printing things like Use 'show-help' to displaye help and that messes up with Heroic that reads the output as json to complete the login process with the latest fix in heroic for the future release, it runs powershell ignoring the profile script, so the extra output is not present

cool thanks now I know what the issue is and that its being worked on. I'll mark the topic as closed!
