Ludusavi Integration for Non-heroic games
I will use a script to detect the name but it will use folder name to determine the game name , which has to be matched in ludusavi.
1. Download
ludusavi binary and copy to one of your $PATH
2. Create a wrapper script in one of your $PATH also keep in mind to make it executable
3. Here is the script content that worked for me.1 Reply

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Description : Ludusavi Wrapper for Heroic Games Launcher (non-heroic games). This script assumes your game name from folder name.
# Usage : Be sure `$HOME/games/<GameFolderName>` <GameFolderName> will be used as game name. Make sure <GameFolderName> name is either aliased or actual name in ludusavi.
# Note : I wanted use exe name but I think folder name will be more consistent across different games including emulators.
