Heroic icon shows game not installed Heroic (and one game missing)
The Heroic launcher on the top right hand side of my MBP Pro is showing a game (Path of Exile) I do not use Heroic for Path of Exile). I do not run Path of Exile via a Crossover bottle either. It is only installed via Sikarugir (on an external SSD).
I am logged in to both my Amazon and GOG accounts. All games show in the library but not in the drop down (see screenshot).
Log file for Heroic shows "(11:35:07) [INFO]: [Nile]: Game list updated, got 3 games" so all 3 should appear.
Both Amazon Games and GOG log files show no issues.
Reload or a complete shutdown and reopening of Heroic does not refresh the list. How do I get an accurate list of what is installed and running via Heroic (and get rid of the game I don't have via Heroic) ?
I'm on an M1 Max w/64GB running Sequioa 15.6.1
Heroic version is 2.18.1 "Waterfall Beard" Jorul (2.18.1) GPL V3

@arieljuod could be an unintended bug? kind of funny that it worked out this way

was this game ever run using heroic? the information that goes there is only coming from a config file that keeps track of the games there were launched using heroic, there's no other logic
what could be happening is that if it was used at some point with heroic then that this list was not cleared, but that's the only way I can imagine this showing up there

Path of Exile has never been run using Heroic. I’ve always run it via Sikarugir (formerly Kegworks).
What is the name of the config file and where is the file stored ? I deleted a number of files that did have Path of Exile in them and the game is still showing in that list. I have restarted both Heroic and the computer.
There is also a game I played the other day in Heroic that is not showing up in the list. If there is a limit of the last 5 then one of the Path of Exile should have disappeared and been replaced no ?

/Users/your_user/Library/Application Support/heroic/store/config.json
in that files there's an array:
that keeps track of all recent files
the tray icon shows the last 5
I don't understand how anything can show up there if it was never run using heroic, unless it was updated by another app or maybe it was done with a different account and that file was not reseted properly when switching accounts, I can't really guess another optiongenetic-orangeOP•2mo ago
Hi - thanks for the link.
As well as Path of Exile, there is also an entry for Diablo IV. I have also never run Diablo IV via Heroic. D4 requires you to install battle.net, so even if I had run it via Heroic I would expect to see battle.net in the list since you need to open that first. The only 2 apps I have ever run Daiblo IV from is Sikarugir and Crossover.
It must have pulled this information from somewhere else in the past. I'll clean the file up and keep an eye on it. If another game is added that I don't use Heroic for I'll create another support post. I'll just chalk this one up to something weird that happened somewhere in the past.
