Can you delete ~/Games/Heroic/FarCry
folder?
Btw once activate via legendary activate --uplay
you also can install the game from the uplay launcher. No epic needed.

Thanks. I don't have any FarCry folder in the internal or external drive.
How do I activate that?
Same happening here on Windows 10, takes long to fetch size then instantly finishes it after a minute. No game folders created.
Some Ubisoft games cannot be installed using Heroic directly (same happens with Watchdogs 2, I imagine the same is happening for Far Cry Primal)
You need to install the Ubisoft client for those games (option 1 here https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/wiki/How-to-install-Ubisoft-Connect-on-Linux-and-Mac)
This seems to be a limitation of Legendary (the tool we use to download Epic games) but I understand it's not Legendary's fault but it's just that Epic doesn't provide downloadable files.
Try running this command /app/bin/heroic/resources/ app.asar.unpacked/build/bin/linux/legendary install Larkspur --platform Windows --base-path /run/ media/mmcblk0p1/Games/Heroic --skip-dlcs --skip-sdl -y
and check the output, at least for Watchdogs 2 it says that the game cannot be installed using Legendary
EDIT: this is the message I get when trying to install Watch Dogs 2 directly:
Installation requirements check returned the following results:
- Warning: This game requires installation of Uplay/Ubisoft Connect, direct installation via Uplay running in WINE (e.g. using Lutris) is recommended. Use "legendary activate --uplay" and follow the instructions.
! Failure: This game requires installation via Uplay and does not ship executable game files.

@puddingconfident45 @MrRubberDucky can you confirm if what I mentioned in the previous comment is what's happening to you? I don't own Far Cry Primal to test it.

For me it happens with any game so I moved to EGL for now.
Can anyone confirm if this is still happening? and if it is, can you share the legendary log when an installation fails? (settings > logs > legendary/epic)
We ran into a similar issue where when we clicked on download, a notification would immediately popup saying it was starting and then finished. But the game was not installed. For us, restarting the Steam Deck resolved the issue.
I believe the root cause was not letting a download complete. We switched to Steam Deck game mode while an active download was in progress. Hope this helps someone and am happy to provide more details.
Closing, if the original issue is what I think it is, it should be fixed in 2.15.0
For anyone else having installation issues it would be better to create another issue since it's probably a different problem.
Describe the bug
I've been trying to install Far Cry Primal on Steam Deck via Heroic but the installation will start and then immediately complete with the game not getting actually installed.
It doesn't give any error message.
This happens both on internal and external drives.
Worth to mention is that after purchasing the game, I was actually able to Install it via Heroic. Due to poor performance I then uninstalled it and installed it via Epic Games Launcher. Now that I switched back to Heroic, it doesn't seem to want to install anymore.
So far I've encountered this issue only with this specific game.

This is not a "new" error. It happened for months but I only re-tried it now and never reported before.
