Games from Epicgames refuse to start
Hi. I am using the flatpak version of Heroic on up to date archlinux.
Since a few days, all games installed via epicgames crash before even starting a window.
When clicking "PLAY NOW", it switches to "PLAYING(STOP)" for a bit before returning to "PLAY NOW".
I did recently update my nvidia drivers, which has historically caused problems for me.
I amongst others have tried switching to an lts-kernel and reinstalling heroic by running flatpak install --reinstall com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl. However I was unable to do something impactful.
Various logs for some Games as well as Heroic itself can be found here: https://paste.debian.net/1384844

That did it. It redownloaded steamrt3 as you said and then launched as usual. Thanks a lot.

Could you send in the output of

Thanks for responding. The file seems to be empty.
Something seems to have gone wrong with your GE-Proton installation. Try removing and re-downloading it

the file now has the following content: "manifest"
{
"version" "2"
"commandline" "/proton %verb%"
"require_tool_appid" "1628350"
"use_sessions" "1"
"compatmanager_layer_name" "proton"
}
unfortunately games still wont launch though
Could you send in a new game log (with verbose logging enabled)?

Sounds like it could be an issue.
Try deleting
/home/arjan/.local/share/umu/steamrt3, it'll be re-downloaded on game launch (might take a bit)extended-salmonOP•3mo ago
I dont have a directory called include in ~/.local/share/umu/steamrt3/sniper_platform_3.0.20250616.139560/files
