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?

0140:err:module:import_dll Library love.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\\run\\user\\1000\\doc\\8aa28b47\\omgmygiraffe.exe") not found

0140:err:module:import_dll Library lua51.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\\run\\user\\1000\\doc\\8aa28b47\\omgmygiraffe.exe") not found

0140:err:module:import_dll Library SDL2.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\\run\\user\\1000\\doc\\8aa28b47\\omgmygiraffe.exe") not found

0140:err:module:loader_init Importing dlls for L"Z:\\run\\user\\1000\\doc\\8aa28b47\\omgmygiraffe.exe" failed, status c0000135

heroic doesn't have access to the location where the files are you should make sure to add it using a tool like Flatseal, and add game again

Ah thank you! I'll try this So just give flatseal access to the games folder?

sensitive-blue•3w ago

give heroic access to games folder using Flatseal yes

@Linguin You're arguably one of the greatest humans alive It worked Thank you

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?

sensitive-blue•3w ago

yes, the portal will make the path you selected accessible in XDG_RUNTIME_DIR and return a path to it then you can read and write to it, until your app starts the next time
