Mad Max (GOG) won't work on Steam Deck through Heroic

Nothing I've tried has worked so far, I don't know a lot about PCs so I really need help. Thanks.

What are the thing you've tried? And can you add PROTON_LOG=1 to env var so you can create an actual log

Using different versions of proton, adding the exe manually as a non-steam game to boot it up from there, launching it from within HGL in game mode What is env var?

Game page- Settings- Advanced Environment variables Add that env var there to proper place, run game with that It would create a proper log in
PROTON_LOG_DIR=/home/deck/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl
PROTON_LOG_DIR=/home/deck/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl

It's not letting me type in the equal sign in the Variable Name

No need for equal sign First part is key, 1 is value In fact when you copy paste the command as just i wrote Heroic omits = anyways

When I try to report a problem running the game now, it says that no log file is found

Sorry, I'm confused. Am I meant to copy and paste that there?

Hmm, normally one of them should have been saying heroic0 That would be the right one But cant see here
PROTON_LOG_DIR=/home/deck/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl
PROTON_LOG_DIR=/home/deck/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl
Not in here too?

adverse-sapphireOP4mo ago

Grr, normally it should have been there if youve ran the game once with that env var in place @termdisc Do you know where that Proton log goes? I dont use Flatpak normally so imma bit unsure about how it works
adverse-sapphire

I'll run the game one more time with it in place and see if anything changes, brb It still doesn't show up there, regardless if I used proton GE or proton experimental

Should by right there in the screenshot’s folder so long as nothing is set to redirect it Unless there was a permission expansion into /home

Within which folder could it be in? Could deleting HGL and Mad Max, and then reinstalling both maybe fix it? I haven't used GOG Galaxy yet either
