Heroic doesn't detect the running steam client when using umu/steam runtime (GTA V)
Log: https://0x0.st/8KBo.log
Steam is running in the background. I have the "use Steam Runtime" box checked and have umu activated from advanced settings. When I try launching without umu (with proton), I still find:
"
[S_API] SteamAPI_Init(): SteamAPI_IsSteamRunning() did not locate a running instance of Steam.
[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed
"
In the log, but it doesn't stop the game from launching, but I do have a separate issue of the game crashing when entering story mode. Does anyone know what the problem is?

WINEDEBUG=+fixme and use GE-proton instead of Hotfixvariable-lime•5mo ago
one thing that I noticed with Red Dead Redemption is that the rockstar launcher thinks the game is launched with steam because of the steam-related env variables needed for proton/umu and it's not on heroic's control, the only workaround I've seen for RDR2 is to use wine-ge instead since it's the rockstar launcher doing something weird, not heroic

Following this I got it to the rockstar launcher, but now the "buy now" problem is back. I have done the fix on github, and it used to work before I got issues now
