Manually install DLL's

Hello I'm trying to install a game via "Add Game" and it can't find some DLL's that came with the game. I can copy and paste them to same folder as the .exe, but is that enough?

heroic doesn't have access to the location where the files are

radical-lime•5/1/25, 7:58 PM

you should make sure to add it using a tool like Flatseal, and add game again

cold-orangeOP•5/1/25, 7:58 PM

Ah thank you!

cold-orangeOP•5/1/25, 7:58 PM

I'll try this

cold-orangeOP•5/1/25, 7:59 PM

So just give flatseal access to the games folder?

radical-lime•5/1/25, 8:00 PM

give heroic access to games folder

radical-lime•5/1/25, 8:00 PM

using Flatseal

radical-lime•5/1/25, 8:00 PM

yes

cold-orangeOP•5/1/25, 8:02 PM

@Linguin You're arguably one of the greatest humans alive

cold-orangeOP•5/1/25, 8:02 PM

It worked

cold-orangeOP•5/1/25, 8:02 PM

Thank you

radical-lime•5/1/25, 8:02 PM

enjoy

@Linguin Kinda related to this, just trying to fill a gap in my knowledge. How come when you add a game to Heroic it ends up in /run/? is that just how flatpaks work?

radical-lime•5/1/25, 8:43 PM

yes, the portal will make the path you selected accessible in XDG_RUNTIME_DIR

radical-lime•5/1/25, 8:43 PM

and return a path to it

radical-lime•5/1/25, 8:44 PM

then you can read and write to it, until your app starts the next time

awake-maroon•5/1/25, 8:45 PM

I see I see, that makes more sense

Thank you
