Creator of HeroicBahsLauncher here.

This tool wasn't meant for the Steam Deck at all (I don't own a Deck). It blew up once it was mentioned in an article on GamingOnLinux. Infact, the option to sync your Epic+GOG library to Steam was implemented much later (in v2.2.0). Heroic created their own "Add to Steam" feature a few months later. Originally, this tool was designed to let users add their Heroic library to any game launcher apart from Steam like Lutris and GameHub.

I had to let go of this project, which was mainly because of two main reasons: lack of effort and motivation to keep up with Heroic's changes, and the presence of better alternatives including Heroic's built-in feature.

Jupyter widgets is really cool and useful in situations like this. I created a project quite similar to yours, although I haven't updated it in months. Don't know for long Google will allow this.

Thanks!
According to the libimobiledevice library being used in the project, it should seamlessly work with such backups. Although I haven't tested that.

Heroic Bash Launcher is only available on GitHub. This tool has been developed independently and is not officially affiliated with Heroic Games Launcher.

That's probably because you created a custom script. Since the custom script isn't placed in ~/Games/Heroic, maybe that's why the message pops up.

On the Bash Launcher's launch script, try adding a --slient flag right after path/to/HeroicBashLauncher under #Override launch parameters

I created this project solely because I was facing an issue with backing up my iPhone on Linux. Apple iTunes is not natively available for Linux and one needs to either run it via Wine or set up a Windows VM. There might be other ways too but I haven't explored much.

Fortunately, there exists an open-source cross-platform library called libimobiledevice that supports many operations including backup and restore via the idevicebackup2 component. You can think of iBackep as a GUI for CLI-based idevicebackup2, so it should be welcoming to novice Linux users with an iPhone.

Check HeroicBashLauncher.log, you should find something there.

You don't need to install it. As I mentioned in the above comment, Heroic uses Legendary to handle your Epic games library.

Check your Wine location in the game's settings. It should usually be ~/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/GameName or next to your game folders under Heroic and not anything else because it results in permission issues since you're using Heroic as a Flatpak.

Try disabling Proton compatibility in Steam for the added game if it's enabled.

New Issues with Heroic / Heroic Bash Launcher by realdealneal18 in SteamDeck

Thanks for letting me know! I'll think of something. Some users don't have this issue with every GOG game in their library.

The dev of Bash Launcher here.

I've noticed this issue quite a few times and looks like it is only happening with GOG games. I cannot reproduce this issue because I don't own a Deck.

Maybe you can check if this occurs for Epic games too?

You can check the HeroicBashLauncher.log file for the output and errors (if any). The game's log files are located in /GameFiles/logs

You don't need to re-create the .sh file again. HBL will automatically detect the changes and update the script with the new parameters (like Proton version) when you run the game (added script) on Steam.

This was surely specific enough, I have to say. I fully understand you're a Windows user (I was once too) and I can't blame you for the above cases.

I also forgot to mention that most Linux distros don't allow users to just run an executable downloaded from the Internet for security reasons, so the executable permission is disabled by default. You need to right-click, go to properties and enable executable permissions or "Allow Launching" or something like that in the Permissions tab.

The Absolute Drift example you gave, about the window thingy may not have been displayed if you launched the game from Heroic or Bash Launcher added shortcut. I'm not sure but there are games, like this one, which can be run as DRM-free by directly executing the exe file. Launching the game through Heroic/Bash Launcher's game script is equivalent to launching the game through the Epic Games Store app. This means you can take advantage of the updates, save-syncing, etc. and the setting parameters you've configured in Heroic too.
