r/HeroicGamesLauncher

I want to be able to start all my games from one launcher, but I don't wanna bypass steam itself, as I need it for online stuff. Basically, I want to know if there is a way to add steam URLs to heroic.

Exemple.

to start celeste, i could have an entry in Heroic which would run "steam steam://rungameid/504230". Wouldn't allow you to close from the launcher, but still better than having to search in each launcher cuz u forgot where is the game.

Is there a way to do something like that?

Edit: I added most game by creating scripts and starting those scripts in Heroic, but what about non-steam games which NEED to be started thru steam?

Edit #2: By creating a desktop shortcut for the non-steam game, you can see a game id for that specific non-steam game. Then, you just create the game id, open the .desktop and copy the exec line.

I can't imagine I'm the only user with multiple systems, so I'm assuming this is a thing others do already. I have a main home gaming pc, and a laptop as well, both with Heroic installed with large libraries. Manually re-managing the categories in the library on two machines is a huge pain point, and there doesn't appear to be an export function. Has anyone worked out a solution to this?

Hello everyone!

I've been trying to get a game running on my Steam Deck and I'm kind of out of ideas.

I tried installing it through Heroic, adding the .exe as a non-Steam game, and even just launching the .exe directly, but nothing seems to work. The game itself is fine because I can run the same .exe on my desktop without any issues.

I'm not sure if I'm missing something obvious with Proton or if I need to set up something differently. Has anyone dealt with this before or have any suggestions on what I should try?
