I have the same issue but with the Flatpak version.

[redromnon]

Are the games launching from Heroic Games Launcher? I think game names with special characters will face this issue.

[mr-bobdobalina]

Tetris runs fine from HGL, Tetris's full game name is "Tetris® Effect: Connected" So I guess the ® and/or : are issues.

[redromnon]

You're right. But I have no issues with Rocket League® when running Bash Launcher.

[Battleangel]

Hi these are the installed games, all of them from the Epic Store https://ibb.co/kGDpGSr

[redromnon]

Hi these are the installed games, all of them from the Epic Store https://ibb.co/kGDpGSr

Looks fine. Do you have installed any GOG games?

[Battleangel]

Yes had in the Past for Testing it was Cyberpunk 2077 and there are 2 games installed via Downloaded .exe files from the GoG Page.

The Dig® Indiana Jones® and the Fate of Atlantis™

have to correct me the two games are the Linux version from the GoG Page.

[redromnon]

To make it clear, The Dig® & Indiana Jones® and the Fate of Atlantis™ show as installed in Heroic? Again, I feel those special characters like ® and ™ are causing the issue.

[Battleangel]

There are not in the Heroic installer but will uninstall them via the delivered sh script to test that out, just an moment ,)

I have Cyberpunk 2077 and Witcher 3 installed from GoG (with heroic). My epic games are working (.sh is created) but the script crash after it.

[redromnon]

Can you paste your log too?

[Battleangel]

Deleted The Dig and Indiana Jones and removed all left files under /home/deck/GOG Games so there are only the 3 Epic Store games from the Pictures installed on my SteamDeck.

Yeah, it still doesn't work because HBL looks inlibrary.json for game names, where The Dig and Indiana Jones are present and are part of your GOG game account. It doesn't matter even if they are uninstalled.

I've got to make some changes in the code to make game names with special characters compatible.

[redromnon]

Yep, same thing

[redromnon]

As a workaround, you can delete the special characters in the game names if you wish to (Like from Rocket League® to just Rocket League.)

For Heroic Epic games - go to legendary/installed.json and edit the 'title' of the that game For Heroic GOG games - go to heroic/gog_store/library.json and edit the 'title' of that game

The issue might be solved temporarily until a fix arrives

[Ilmadic]

Thanks for the workaround. I changed all Titels of my installed games but I still get the same error. Should I change all Titels with special characters?

[redromnon]

Maybe try that too. I don't know if it is going to work or not since I haven't come across this issue in my case. If it doesn't work, you will have to wait for the fix.

[Ilmadic]

Doesn't work in my case. I'm waiting for a fix. Thanks for the help.
