umu issue on Heroic 2.20 stopping games from launching
🐧linux✅solved
I understand this shouldn't be happening because the issue was supposedly fixed in the last update, but I'm currently experiencing an issue launching games.
It doesn't seem to be package related because I was using Flatpak and reinstalled it a few times and also reset the settings before trying the .deb version, which didn't fix anything.
After looking around a bit, I decided to go check on the server if I was the only one with this issue, and I saw that there was an issue fixed in 2.20, but that a workaround was disabling umu. I decided to do that and my game (I was using shapez as a test subject) ran perfectly well.
I can also confirm that this is not related to my means of installing Heroic because I used the same .deb to install the latest version on another computer and it works just fine there.
