Instructions for other launchers #3

Open CrumblyLiquid opened 11 months ago

CrumblyLiquid commented 11 months ago

I want to add instructions for other launchers such as Heroic, Bottles or Lutris however I'm not sure how to combine them with the instructions for Steam as I don't want to unnecessarily duplicate instructions.

Some very useful information can be found in #2

Thanks for this - I was driving myself nuts last night trying to get things going with the original instructions because I'm running from Heroic.

I know you don't want a lot of duplication (and I agree), but would it be worth creating an EPIC.md or OTHER.md for the other options? I'm going through #2 right now to see if I can get it working.

If you're running RL via Heroic you might find this comment a bit helpful.

The general idea is the same (eg. Find your Wine prefix, run BakkesMod installer on the prefix, run BakkesMod and RL in the same prefix). There are just different ways of accomplishing it and it varies from launcher to launcher.

Creating a separate EPIC.md or something similar is probably a good idea anyways because then I can find what can be merged together and what can't. I'm just not sure when I'll have time to actually install RL on some of the launchers.

I ended up switching to NonSteamLaunchers and followed the instructions in #2 and was able to get it going because I was never able to find the prefix for Heroic. I also used your bakkes.sh script with just one command change (the Prefix), and it worked, too.

I'll create an EPIC.md and PR at some point in the next couple of weeks and try to get some screenshots along with it, if you're cool with that.
