Heroic failure in coping the fake Epic exe in Red Dead Redemption 2 prefix
I own Red Dead Redemption 2 on EGS and it fails to start. Reading the logs, it seems to have problems with copying the fake EGS exe file to the prefix. And that's cause said file actually isn't there. How can i fix this?
I'm on Heroic build n. 2.18.1.r14

I don't think it's a good idea to put a heroic prefix inside the steam folders
does this file exist?

how did you install heroic? looks like you are not using the official heroic build
make sure you use the
*-bin packageambitious-aquaOP•3w ago
i built it myself

then you are missing the step that downloads the binaries, run
pnpm download-helper-binaries before building itambitious-aquaOP•3w ago
btw always done it since i have heroic and never gave me any issue

I think pnpm started ignoring post-install scripts by default at some point (for security reasons), so the binaries are not downloaded automatically when you get the dependencies
that's probably why it worked before
