System Information

• arch linux
• heroic 2.5.0-beta.3

Additional information

i think it should be given the same treatment as origin launcher games or at least looked into by someone who knows what to look for

[arielj]

Which version of wine are you using when the launcher doesn't show up? I noticed that with Wine-GE-Proton the launcher DOES show up when launched from Heroic and with Proton-GE-Proton the launcher does NOT show up.

I think it's an issue with proton and not with Heroic since, at least for me, changing to Wine-GE makes the launcher start

[arielj]

@lever1209 can you confirm if the launcher shows up when using Wine-GE instead of Proton?

[arielj]

closing this since there's no answer for the last 3 months

I can confirm the launcher works with Wine-GE. I had the same problems as @lever1209
