JavaScript error - Unexpected end of JSON input
I used heroic game launcher successfuly for a while.
Then I installed so many games that it only had couple megabytes left. It unsurprisingly stopped working.
Note before it stopped working I switched to gaming mode without closing heroic.
Then I deleted the game folder of a couple games. Now plenty storage free (like 1gb) and it still doesn't work.

download-manager.json is corrupted. It should be safe to just delete that one...9 Replies
Note before it stopped working I switched to gaming mode without closing heroic.Switching between Gaming and Desktop mode still closes all applications It seems Heroic's config file got corrupted. Open
/home/deck/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl/config/heroic/store and send all the files in there into here, we may be able to recover themcontinuing-cyanOP•5w ago
It seems like the corruption is in download manager as it does not seem to have closing brackets

A game log might be helpful here
