Shadow Warrior Classic Complete - Linux edition - Missing DOSBox from installation.
I bought Shadow Warrior Classic Complete from GoG. It's the Linux version. When I try to launch the game from Heroic, the game doesn't launch.
I looked in the the games folder and tried to launch it with its start.sh script, but I get this error:
Complete/dosbox/dosbox_x86_64: error while loading shared libraries: libFLAC.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I went to the directory
~/Games/Heroic/Shadow Warrior Complete/dosbox/libs/x86_64
Then ran this command:
$ ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libFLAC.so.12 libFLAC.so.8
And it looks like the start.sh script can start the game ok now.
However, the Heroic launcher can't start it for some reason...
Where can we find the launcher's log files?
To help you, we need a game log. Please see the following images on how to get it.

However, you’re probably better off installing DOSBox-staging, installing the windows version (of Shadow Warrior) and letting Heroic farm it out that messing around trying to get the GOG-bundled native DOSBox working
