Add Heroic install guide to Alt-Installs #41

Closed Gamertech closed 1 month ago

Gamertech commented 1 month ago

Existing Quick Start guide currently combines instructions for native and Lutris installs.

This PR separates the different install methods, adds Heroic instructions and highlights important points/current required workarounds.

Suggestions are ofc welcome.

Thanks for the PR! I don’t think the Quick Start Guide is the best place to include the additional install information; it’s meant to be the simplest, shortest possible method for installing the game using the options supported by our Helper tool and those that our tech support community are familiar with.

I’m considering a new section in the wiki for alternative install options and I’ve asked our tech support community if they want to take on the added burden of supporting other install methods. We’ll see what everyone says.

As for separating out the Lutris and Wine install methods, that won’t really be necessary once Lutris 0.5.18 is released, which looks like it will be very soon. I’ll be able to remove the added workaround steps and simplify things.

Seems like the consensus among our tech support crew is to put this type of thing in a separate page with a warning about limited support.

I’ve renamed our manual installation page to alternative installations and reformatted it. Can you please put your heroic launcher additions at the end of that page? I’ll take care of reformatting the Quick Start guide once Lutris 0.5.18 is out.
