SOLVED: solution was running: killall ibus-daemon before launching. Thanks @just_another_person@lemmy.world !

I am playing Replaced and, despite the cool style and environment design, my experience is made horrible

Whenever a WASD key is pressed there is a chance that the input may get "sticky" and continues to send the character in the same direction indefinitely, making stealth sequences impossible and resolving only by giving ASDASD as input.

Here is the likely excerpt from the logs:

../../../../modules/im/ximcp/imDefLkup.c,355: The key event is already fabricated. ../../../../modules/im/ximcp/imDefLkup.c,355: The key event is already fabricated. ../../../../modules/im/ximcp/imDefLkup.c,355: The key event is already fabricated. ../../../../modules/im/ximcp/imDefLkup.c,355: The key event is already fabricated. ../../../../modules/im/ximcp/imDefLkup.c,355: The key event is already fabricated. ../../../../modules/im/ximcp/imDefLkup.c,359: Tried to fabricate a wrong key event. ../../../../modules/im/ximcp/imDefLkup.c,355: The key event is already fabricated. ../../../../modules/im/ximcp/imDefLkup.c,355: The key event is already fabricated. ../../../../modules/im/ximcp/imDefLkup.c,355: The key event is already fabricated.

I am running it in Heroic Launcher and the problem persists using GE-Proton-latest or Proton Experimental. Also, changing to the Steam Runtime or deactivating Gamemode does not help.

Hi!

This Hotfix should address some issues some people are having with Heroic randomly showing error dialogs that are not really errors just some harmless but scary python logs.
It should also make Heroic compatible (at least for Epic games) with old version of python3, even though we added support for it we believe everyone should upgrade their Python version to version 3.12 or newer to avoid other issues especially with the GOG runner.

Besides those, there are a few more backend and UI fixes as you can see bellow:

Hi everyone!

Sadly when I'm trying to download games through Heroic, it appears as if the download limit was kind of limited to 0.5 Mbps which is way to slow when you have to download a game like Wolfenstein the New Order which has 40Gb of data.

For now I haven't found a way around this problem so I'm downloading the offline installers from GOG at around 3Mbps (which is way better). The problem is that I can't find a way to import them in Heroic on my Steam Deck.

By the way it's very important for me to retain the ability to get achievements (through Comet) as I'm addicted to these.

Could someone help me about importing these offline installers?

Also, I'll be happy to hear if someone knows a way to improve my download speeds through Heroic and get the ability to keep downloaded files when turning off my Deck as for now I'd have to start everything again if the game hasn't reached 100%?

Thanks in advance for your help!

What is the difference between this and Lutris? Is there one reason I keep hearing about this launcher over and over and over this past week?

I thought Lutris launched all the games?
