From the looks of it I can now remove lutris and use heroic instead because it now has all the function that I needed. This is a very big update indeed.
Lutris is still useful over Heroic for some things. For example: the Epic versions of the recent Tomb Raider games work way better if installed through Lutris over Heroic.
What Lutris does uniquely is the user-contributed install scripts, which automatically applies workarounds. It is a testament to the WINE and Proton folks that workarounds are becoming less necessary though.
@@HululusLabs I'd like the user install scripts better if they were structured more like Arch does the AUR. Lutris' ones are difficult to get access to and understand
Auto adding to steam is such a small thing in the scheme of things but the convenience makes it so much more appealing to me. Definitely props for so many improvements to the launcher.
@@Steve-yq5fh I managed to get it working for me a slightly different way. Basically download the installer. Add the installer as a non-steam game. Run the installer through Steam. After the installer finishes, shut down the application. Edit the properties of the non-steam game. And pointed to the new install directory for the application. I'm sorry I'm not providing exact file paths. I'm at work. But I believe in you
Thanks mate. I haven't used my steam deck for a while and I couldn't find options you're showing however you helped me realised I've got like 15 updates and heroic louncher was one of them 😂😂
Any Idea when heroic will enable cloud saves from epic ? Kinda sucks that you have to start a new game in the majority of games i play,. Im guessing this is more of an epic problem
damn, i was so excited with the new release thinking it might fix the problems i had with it when i first installed onto my new steam deck. sadly, it seems i'm having the same problems. i tried playing around with the settings, tried proton and wine, and tried running from both desktop and game mode, but it still broken for me. on the plus side, i now know how to actually set up the deck controls properly (gamepad, mouse, trackpads, etc) so using the epic launcher isn't such a bad experience as when i first got my deck. basically i've made different steam input profiles, and can simply switch them for the intended game. just imagine, to navigate the launcher before, i actually held down the steam button because i did not know the mouse could be permanently mapped to the trackpad.
@@dream_state They opened the games files recently, and we can browse the files like any other games. Doesn't it opens some doors for a Linux Gamepass in the future ? Because now, I can browse my PC Gamepass games, see all files and folders, the game.exe etc... All of this can be interpreted by wine and proton right ?
For Xbox games I use 'XB Play' which can be downloaded from Steam. It was £5 at the time. It gets you access to all xCloud games right from steam. So if you're like me and don't have an Xbox console. It's perfect.
For some reason it won't let me press the file to actually get the .exe on there but it won't work? However I can touch the wine prefix folder and it brings up dolphin? Any ideas on how to fix that?
Update tried sideloading EA app and despite changing the password. attempting to sign to EA APP on steam deck appears to invalid my password and I have to change it again. also attempted to play gog games using the added as steam deck and got the spinning loop of death. needs more work.
How are you getting games to run? I downloaded daemon x machina from heroic. It ran in desktop mode but in game mode, I just get the steam logo (loading circle) forever. I also can't exit the game. I have to restart the steam deck to actually leave the game
Followed these steps step by step, and it was working until I tried to log into the EA App and I got hit with a "technical difficulties" error. But it worked up until then
I still haven't figured out how to play "Among The Sleep" from Epic Games Store, on the Heroic Launcher. I've even tried launching the game from the Desktop Mode, to no avail, as well as Proton Experimental and older versions of Proton. Even though the Steam version says it's Steam Deck verified.
Wow this is really interesting. I am just curious how it compares to lutris. In terms of user friendly less its on par or even better since you can add the games tp the steam library from within the program. But I know lutris typically has custom scripts that downloads or adds configurations to make the game/program more compatible with linux. Just curious if anyone knows if Heoric does the same thing?
It's had the option to add to Steam automatically for a while - it just didn't seem to work before. Can you test it on the Steam Deck with removable storage? For some odd reason, lots of Heroic games would just silently fail if they weren't installed to the internal drive.
Yeah, definitely giving this a bump. Same issue here still; I have the base-level steam deck so not much internal storage and would install all of that on my SD card
@@gamingonlinux Yes of course it’s. And yes I have ‘bugged’ them. However it’s just another launcher and it would be nice to see a 3rd party tackle it like they have for UBI EA origin et al. I suspect it’s trickier than those launchers as there are half a dozen windoze services it relies on.
so, i just got my deck and installed alien isolation from heroic, added it to steam and when executing it just loads forever no sign of wine booting something but when i launch the heroic launcher and then the dame it boots right up
Did every step as shown and I kept getting the EXPIRED CREDENTIALS message during login, I did contact EA and customer service tried to help; after resetting the password three times I was able to log in to my old origin launcher but kept getting the same error message when trying to login to the ea app. Has this happened to anyone else?
@@foxmcleod It detects installing on WINE on your Steam deck as "Suspicious account activity." Origin will install and let me login (and I have temporarily used this as a work around) but not the EA app.
Do all Epic games work? I’ve tried 20XX and it keeps crashing from a D3D error and when I try Centipede Recharges the game loads with no sounds just past the logo screen and just hangs on the loading screen.
How were you able to log in to the EA app? When ever I try, it invalidates my password (requiring a password reset to log into ANY device). Every time I try to login...
Depends on the game. Unlike GOG, sever epic games has DRM and won't work while offline. Heroic shows on the game page if a game requires online connection or not. Although this information is not 100% accurate. So you will need to test to be sure.
@@FlavioFearn I tried games that I can launch directly with exe on windows, like tale of two sons, axiom verge and plague tale, those games when installed with heroic launch just fine with lutris when I point it to exe. With epic games still not fixed in lutris, I have been downloading epic games with heroic and launching them with lutris. Works great but it's a bother.
I tried using heroic games launcher about 2 months ago. When I use it to launch the epic games store I noticed that it didn’t show all my games, particularly those that needed EA Origin access, like Jedi Fallen Order. Is this now fixed or is there a work around for this problem?
There's a save problem, when i play the epic games via heroic launcher(or directly by adding steam). Needless to say clould saving, when I save the game and quit and restart it, there's no continue button but new game.(when i don't quit the game, there remains continue button) How can i solve it??
I add GOG account to heroic and download my Witcher 3: Complete edition and....its not working in steam Game Mode (endless launching) but its work only in Desktop mode(but without my saves in the game)...I try different protons and wines but without results in game mode...any suggestions ??? The same way works very well for my games on my Epic account in heroic , including a game mode and desktop mode....So why GoG is not work properly????
For some reason the flatpak version of heroic just doesn't work for me. It used to at one point, but now when you launch it is just a blank window. This update doesn't seem to be in the app image version either. A shame, I don't know of a way to fix it either.
How do you get games to run on herioc. I always have an issue with the wine manager, what version should I use? I get heroic, log into epic games, and downloaded AC Valhalla, but everytime I run it. It just doesn't load. No screen nothing. I had to install Ubisoft connect to get it, which works. I have such a huge EGS library but thinking I need to download the store instead of heroic.
How do u sign in to epic as iv got an epic account but not letting me sign into it for some reason I’m not sure if I’m doing some think wrong I’m not sure
As far as I know, there's no way to tell the new EA App to automatically launch a game. The old EA launcher, Origins, had launch command features that allowed you to launch games directly from Steam (including Gaming Mode). I hope someone in the community can figure out how to do this with the EA App soon, or EA adds launch command compatibility into the EA App
Good question (my initial reply got confused) as far as I know, not currently as it’s an additional standalone launcher added in so Heroic wouldn’t know where to look.
Hey Linux I add ubisoft connect through heroic launcher it launches but the issue is it won't download the game through ubisoft connect because it can't find the sd card and my storage is low for my deck hard drive. I saw your other video to download in steam gaming mode for ubisoft connect and saw the sd guide but the issue is how can I do the same thing with heroic launcher. When I can't find the launch option or maybe add to the launch options? Hopefully you can do a video to add to game to sd card with heroic launcher.
my previous installed games not showing in steam when in gaming mode, I already updated my heroic launcher first. Or do i need to redownload it again to show up in library while in gaming mode?
No, the automatic option is for when you install them, it won't go back and add everything already installed as they would be messy as people might not want everything suddenly there if they've got lots installed. For those, you can do as shown on the EA app and add them manually through Heroic.
How do you configure your folders for cloud saves if your games are are saved on an sd game but your wine path prefixes are on the internal storage? also do you have to do this for ever game? Thank you 🙏 ...
well since this update I can't log into my epic account anymore. It 's always telling me wrong credentials. So I'm not enthusiastic at all about this update.
Hoping someone has a solution.. I have ea play through gamepass.. So when I launch ea play through Heroic and I select login with Xbox is tries to launch a browser so I can login through gamepass, but it never happens...any idea how I can make this work?
Thank you for the video. I have a question: if I add the EA App through Heroic and set the newest GE Proton version and the DXVK_ASYNC=1 command (also through Heroic) for that app, will it be applied for the games I start through the EA app too? So for example, if I apply these things to the EA App, the EA App will start with these settings. When I then download and launch Jedi Fallen Order or any other game, will these games also have these settings? Thank you!
Generally you want to use Wine-GE for non-Steam games whenever possible as that’s part of why it was made. Heroic has a built in downloader for various versions :)

Hey, I followed these steps and have added EA app to heroic, but when I launch it I get an error saying "background services aren't responding", when I press restart app it just says connecting to ea app and doesn't stop. Any idea?
