EGS Robocop Heroic/Linux issues and sollutions
So last night I was trying to get Robocop to work. Its the EGS version, I’m on Bazzite and run it in Heroic. Runner is Proton-GE latest.
First the game gives an error ”path not found” and doesn’t start. The prefix is missing ”program files (X86)/epic games”, after creating this folder the game runs fine.
The second problem is, that once you exit the game to desktop, it gets an ”fatal world leakage” error when trying to load a game past the main menu. Digging out the gameusersettings.ini in appdata, there is a flag ”bNotFirstTimeRunningGame” that we can set back to ”false”. As long as we keep resetting this flag, the game works. You could set the file read-only, it just wont save any changes made in the settings after that.
The ini is in the games prefix/drive_c/users/steamuser/appdata/local/robocop/saved/config folder.
