The Heroic Launcher is already quite good.

Looking forward to Bottles Next

Heroic

Yup, my only complaint is that Steam Deck controller doesn’t seem to work automatically with Heroic games launched through desktop mode, and most guides I see recommend running games through Steam.

If Heroic had smooth integration with the Steam Deck, I’d use it a lot more.

If you hold start for 1 second in desktop mode you can switch between Desktop and Gamepad profile (which should just emulate a regular gamepad), assuming you don’t mean that.

Really? Where is that documented?

From what I see, the only way to do it is to launch Steam and configure it there, and Steam needs to be running while I’m playing whatever game. Or at least that’s what I found online. It seems most people add Heroic to Steam, so maybe I’ll try that.

It’s an open platform, surely they can get it working.

I still have problems with any game in the Heroic Launcher that has well… its own launcher. Just can’t get em to work at all.
