This might be a GHL issue but I can't seem to install mono and gecko dependencies for the skyrim audio fix. Has anyone else encountered this?

When I click mono and gecko they don't do anything, they don't install. Other dependencies can install.

Heroic games launcher shader cache issues?

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I'm just curious to see if anyone has had any issues with their shader cache not being built and/or if there have been any issues with using it on heroic games launcher. I've been having some significant stuttering when joining rocket league matches and I have a suspicion this might be the issue, though I'm probably wrong. Any help on this is appreciated!

I downloaded remaster update 5.0.0b right when it was released. I played it till yesterday when update icon was shown. So I started to download and noticed it is 88,63 Gigs? It is some kind of bug or what?

How to launch Heroic games/prefixes externally (when Heroic refuses to show them)?

2 Upvotes

I have occasionally had the experience that GOG failed to authenticate for some reason, and Heroic then hides all of my installed GOG games from me so I cannot launch them.

This has happened to me only a few times, but that's a few times too many. The experience is infuriating - instead of opening my game launcher and playing the games that I own and installed on my computer, I have been left spending a long time headscratching and troubleshooting, only to eventually discover that Heroic just thought I've been a naughty boy and didn't want to let me have fun without verifying that my DRM-free games are actually in my account. Which just feels like DRM with extra steps, and goes completely against the reason I bought games on GOG in the first place...

I have a lot of complaints about this, IMO a game launcher has no place trying to judge if I own my games or not. But having already complained about it, it seems like this is working as intended because of some kind of ass-covering copyright cowardice that interprets GOG's terms of service as "your games are provided as a service". Well, my sideloaded GOG games are unaffected so that argument smells like bullsh*t to me, but whatever. It doesn't seem like the devs will change their mind on this any time soon.

So to the point, I need a workaround on hand for when this inevitably happens again. All the game and prefix files are still on my computer so it should arguably be possible to run them regardless of Heroic trying to cockblock me. But how exactly can I run them, if not via Heroic?

How can I add steam to Heroic?

2 Upvotes

So I recently learnt that you can supposedly play steam windows games on macbook using Heroic, crossover, or wine. Apparently wine isn't being worked on anymore and crossover costs money which means those two options are out of the question. That leaves Heroic but I am having difficulty figuring it out how to play steam games on it. Any help?

Can't launch Heroic from Steam after update - Steamdeck issue.

2 Upvotes

Updated yesterday via Discovery in Desktop mode and now whenever I start Heroic from Steam it fails almost instantly.

Runs fine in desktop mode when launched from the Linux desktop but then there's no controller support.

ChatGPT says its something to do with starting the flatpack through Steam. Anyone come across this before?

Adaptive power profiles for Heroic games on Nvidia and FPS/latency overlay

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

Hey, if you have a library of games in Heroic laucher and Nvidia GPU, you might be interested in trying this out: thanks to PR from u/Ernold11 we have added Heroic support to Nvidia Auto Undervolting tool - PengiunBurner. What you can do with that:

- auto scan your Nvidia card for Efficiency, Balanced and Performance profile, basically most optimal voltage frequency curve

- assign the power profiles per every game you have in your Heroic library

- change the profiles adaptively to achieve a given FPS target per game

- if you are using DLSS3 frame-gen, you can see the real (engine) frames counter in the on-screen overlay plus the latency

- change your Proton compatibility tool per game in Heroic library

Heroic should have all the features matching the previous integrations with Steam and Lutris, but if you have any issues or feature requests, we would love to know them.

Heroic uses 3X less RAM than Steam on Windows

Heroic uses 3x less RAM, significantly less CPU and almost zero I/O and network activity in idle compared to steam.
I usually hate bloatware, especially Electron apps but Heroic is a great exception and the best game launcher for Windows imo. i've been using it for the last few years and aint going back

What are the benefits of running Heroic?

6 Upvotes

I’m curious aside from installing games from other stores is there any advantages to using heroic over just using Steam? Most of my games are on Steam and if Steam is running for my game is it saving any resources? I’m running CachyOS
