Hello, GTA V Enhanced doesnt start via HGL, i did "Allow installation of games with broken or denied anticheat" after installation, i tried USE_FAKE_EPIC_EXE=true and even fix.bat fix but nothing not even rockstar launcher shows up? I am on Pika OS 5700X3D/7900GRE.

how did you install heroic? it's missing a file that should be there, some non-official heroic packages don't do it right and miss some things
you seem to be having this issue https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/431569 and in that case it's a nixos packaging error
is there like a pikaos build of heroic? or something distributed by the heroic team?

It comes preinstalled pretty much with pika os because it has “gaming package” option and i am not sure about latter but its based on debian sid
Also i dont have any problems installing other games via HGL only GTA V🤔

yes, only GTA needs that specific file that is missing
you could get the file from https://github.com/Etaash-mathamsetty/heroic-epic-integration/releases and put it in
/opt/Heroic/resources/app.asar.unpacked/build/bin/x64/win32/EpicGamesLauncher.exe
but I don't know what else could be missing from that heroic package, it doesn't seem to be an official heroic package if that's missinghttps://git.pika-os.com/gaming-packages/heroic-games-launcher/src/branch/main/debian/rules
They are definitely building it themselves
Although I'm not sure why the .exe could be missing there, doesn't look like they deliberately delete it
FWIW you can just install the .deb package provided by us, or the Flatpak. That should definitely work

Gonna check it later but it should be fine now!

looks like it changed earlier today, it was deleting windows binaries https://git.pika-os.com/gaming-packages/heroic-games-launcher/commit/f307f7d9e61fcc95fff37e7bd3b48da34fd632b3

It does. I was simply trying to reduce the number of variables your particular config has. So by reducing the number of weird config settings to known good working ones, we eliminate potential problems.
Not that my suggestion was the solution but rather intended to reduce noise.
Anyway looks like a build issue with using a non official heroic release.

But its not the problem was that i was missing few files which was instantly fixed when i reported to Pika Os developer👏🏻

yes but my point is reducing the number of variances away from the norm, it makes the problems stand out more 😛
