Heroic is great, it's convenient and has improved a lot recently. Remember to buy your GOG games through Heroic to help those lads out!

Does Heroic work as a local game launcher (.sh scripts only)?

[-] bigb 3 points 1 month ago

I haven't tried it myself, but searching seems to show that Heroic should launch sh scripts. Don't use the Flatpak version of Heroic as that will cause file permission issues.

Just use flatseal to add permissions

Good call

Thanks. I'm wanting to move away from Lutris as it's been a long time since I've used its internal launchers, and also I want to move to something with a better user interface.

Yes it works fine for that. I use it to launch the Linux native version of Vintage Story.

I like heroic a lot and this was the last big hurdle for me. Fingers crossed when you press home on the steam deck UI the heroic UI disables input too.

But they still don't plan on adding steam games...
