I was testing different proton versions for train sim world 5 because it said it needed c++ but now heroic won't open.

Try running
flatpak run com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl from a terminal, that should give some details on what's going wrongextended-salmonOP•3mo ago

is this everything that is displayed in the terminal after running the above command?
Sounds like one of your config files got corrupted
Please send in all files in
~/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl/config/heroic/store/extended-salmonOP•3mo ago
Yep.
firefox says
SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unterminated string at line 345 column 28 of the JSON data
in config (dot) json
wait i think heroic didnt close the variable i think its missing the " and }
Something like that's gonna be the issue, yes. You can try fixing it yourself, or send the file into here

i put the " and }, and it still wont work
Same error still?

Right, please actually send in the file then. Something else is wrong with it

This file is now valid JSON
Note that it might still be missing entries that were supposed to come after the truncated entry, so this might still not work properly
extended-salmonOP•3mo ago
it works now
but i hope it wont come back lol
It seems like Heroic got interrupted while writing the file (perhaps you suddenly lost power or force-turned-off the Deck?). Definitely shouldn't come back though

oh, maybe i exited the non-steam game at the wrong time
thanks for helping
