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?

dry-scarlet•3/1/25, 3:38 PM

And can you add

PROTON_LOG=1

PROTON_LOG=1

to env var so you can create an actual log

Ddry-scarlet What are the thing you've tried?

full-greenOP•3/1/25, 3:52 PM

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

Ddry-scarlet And can you add `PROTON_LOG=1` to env var so you can create an actual log

full-greenOP•3/1/25, 3:52 PM

What is env var?

Ffull-green What is env var?

dry-scarlet•3/1/25, 3:54 PM

Game page- Settings- Advanced

dry-scarlet•3/1/25, 3:55 PM

Environment variables

dry-scarlet•3/1/25, 3:55 PM

Add that env var there to proper place, run game with that

dry-scarlet•3/1/25, 3:56 PM

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

Ddry-scarlet And can you add `PROTON_LOG=1` to env var so you can create an actual log

full-greenOP•3/1/25, 4:03 PM

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

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

dry-scarlet•3/1/25, 4:04 PM

No need for equal sign

dry-scarlet•3/1/25, 4:04 PM

First part is key, 1 is value

dry-scarlet•3/1/25, 4:05 PM

In fact when you copy paste the command as just i wrote Heroic omits = anyways

full-greenOP•3/1/25, 4:14 PM

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

Ddry-scarlet It would create a proper log in ``` PROTON_LOG_DIR=/home/deck/.var/app/com.heroi...

full-greenOP•3/1/25, 4:25 PM

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

HeroicBotAPP•3/1/25, 4:28 PM

To help you, we need a game log. Please see the following images on how to get it.

dry-scarlet•3/1/25, 4:29 PM

full-greenOP•3/1/25, 5:02 PM

Sorry for the delay, I had to do something

full-greenOP•3/1/25, 5:03 PM

I clicked the link and now I don't know what to do from there

Ffull-green I clicked the link and now I don't know what to do from there

dry-scarlet•3/1/25, 5:38 PM

Upload file to it

dry-scarlet•3/1/25, 5:38 PM

And link here

Ddry-scarlet Upload file to it

full-greenOP•3/1/25, 5:39 PM

Which file exactly needs to be chosen?

dry-scarlet•3/1/25, 5:40 PM

Hmm, normally one of them should have been saying heroic0

dry-scarlet•3/1/25, 5:40 PM

That would be the right one

dry-scarlet•3/1/25, 5:40 PM

But cant see here

dry-scarlet•3/1/25, 5:40 PM

PROTON_LOG_DIR=/home/deck/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl

PROTON_LOG_DIR=/home/deck/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl

dry-scarlet•3/1/25, 5:40 PM

Not in here too?

Ddry-scarlet Hmm, normally one of them should have been saying heroic0

full-greenOP•3/1/25, 5:40 PM

I don't see any that says it either

dry-scarlet•3/1/25, 5:40 PM

As i see youve gone in sub dirs

dry-scarlet•3/1/25, 5:41 PM

Instead of that one above

full-greenOP•3/1/25, 5:41 PM

What's sub dirs?

dry-scarlet•3/1/25, 5:41 PM

Alt klasor hocam

dry-scarlet•3/1/25, 5:41 PM

Ffull-green Which file exactly needs to be chosen?

full-greenOP•3/1/25, 5:44 PM

I went into logs within that image, is it found elsewhere?

dry-scarlet•3/1/25, 5:44 PM

Just com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl

dry-scarlet•3/1/25, 5:45 PM

Not config-heroic

full-greenOP•3/1/25, 5:52 PM

Where do I find it from here?

dry-scarlet•3/1/25, 5:55 PM

Grr, normally it should have been there if youve ran the game once with that env var in place

dry-scarlet•3/1/25, 5:56 PM

@termdisc Do you know where that Proton log goes?

dry-scarlet•3/1/25, 5:56 PM

I dont use Flatpak normally so imma bit unsure about how it works

full-greenOP•3/1/25, 5:56 PM

I'll run the game one more time with it in place and see if anything changes, brb

full-greenOP•3/1/25, 6:07 PM

It still doesn't show up there, regardless if I used proton GE or proton experimental

Ddry-scarlet @termdisc Do you know where that Proton log goes?

nursing-lime•3/1/25, 6:07 PM

Should by right there in the screenshot’s folder so long as nothing is set to redirect it

nursing-lime•3/1/25, 6:09 PM

Unless there was a permission expansion into

/home

full-greenOP•3/2/25, 3:17 PM

Within which folder could it be in?

full-greenOP•3/2/25, 3:18 PM

Could deleting HGL and Mad Max, and then reinstalling both maybe fix it?
