On recent Heroic versions, whether the problem is present at all seems to vary by Linux distro. I had the problem on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
On machines that don't have the issue my changes should just add redundancy. I only have my machine to test with but my symptoms were identical to what others were describing, so hopefully this helps everyone affected.
Use the following Checklist if you have changed something on the Backend or Frontend:
[X] Tested the feature and it's working on a current and clean install.
[X] Tested the main App features and they are still working on a current and clean install. (Login, Install, Play, Uninstall, Move games, etc.)
[ ] Created / Updated Tests (If necessary)
[ ] Created / Updated documentation (If necessary)
On my machine, this resolves the problems described in https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/issues/2156
