I installed steam and heroic in flatpack. Can I make heroic add my games to steam?

So I installed in flatpack by accident.

Can I still configure heroic so that it adds my games to steam like it normally does?

Hello, Heroic Flatpak should have by default the permission to access Steam Flatpak folder, I verified with Flatseal.

tagging you to see this, ser.

awake-maroonOP•3/30/25, 10:54 AM

and yes the .steam directory in my home directory it doesnt exist. well, thats because of the flatpack installation right

awake-maroon•3/30/25, 1:18 PM

in heroic's settings there's a field to tell heroic where's the steam directory, have you tried changing that to point to the steam's flatpak directory?

awake-maroonOP•3/30/25, 2:02 PM

ty. no io didnt try that, but it's also because i dont know how to find the flatpack directory.

awake-maroonOP•3/31/25, 4:45 AM

ok. i found it and made the change and now it's working.

awake-maroonOP•3/31/25, 4:45 AM

awake-maroonOP•3/31/25, 4:47 AM

but can someone helpoe me understand why fsearch can't find the subdirectory /,steam/ no matter how i write the query?

awake-maroonOP•3/31/25, 4:59 AM

ok it isnt working. the game gets added with its thumbnail, appropiately, but it doesnt launch. ive tired 2 games and they run on heroic but they dont run from steam. cahnged the poroton version to the same used in heroic and it doesnt work.

awake-maroonOP•3/31/25, 5:09 AM

maybe i need to change the launch route in steam to one linking to the flatpak direftory of heroic?

run com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl --no-gui --no-sandbox "heroic://launch/gog/1965973671"

ordinary-sapphire•3/31/25, 11:33 PM

you wrote /,steam//,steam/ but i think the correct path is ~/.steam/~/.steam/ or maybe ~/.var/app/[STEAM-FOLDER]/.steam/~/.var/app/[STEAM-FOLDER]/.steam/

ordinary-sapphire•3/31/25, 11:35 PM

Don't use Heroic Proton installation in Steam

ordinary-sapphire•3/31/25, 11:36 PM

If you want to install and use other versions of Proton in Steam, use the in-app option or the app called ProtonUp-Qt

ordinary-sapphire•3/31/25, 11:39 PM

But I don't think it is the problem here

ordinary-sapphire•3/31/25, 11:39 PM

No the path seems to be correct

Aawake-maroon ok. i found it and made the change and now it's working.

ordinary-sapphire•3/31/25, 11:42 PM

Btw which path did you enter for Flatpak Steam?

Oordinary-sapphire Btw which path did you enter for Flatpak Steam?

awake-maroonOP•4/1/25, 3:26 AM

hello ma'am

ty for your reply.

this is the path i used in heroic for the route to steam.

/home/julio/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.steam/steam

i assumed it was correct since as i say it adds the thumbnail and cover correctly, and adds a launch command, etc.

awake-maroonOP•4/1/25, 3:28 AM

i only tried changing the proton version in steam after the games didnt launch the first time.

dry-scarlet•4/1/25, 6:51 AM

in steam do not set any proton or compatability modes for games linked by heroic

dry-scarlet•4/1/25, 6:51 AM

heroic has already handled it.

ordinary-sapphire•4/1/25, 1:27 PM

Maybe put /home/julio/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.steam/home/julio/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.steam without the last folder

awake-maroonOP•4/3/25, 12:27 PM
