Hello, I have been using steam to run a pirated version of elden ring on my linux desktop. This works fine but now i wanna move to heroic launcher instead of steam. The game launches but i dont have any progress in the game. I think it has something todo with wineprefix but i have no clue how to solve this.

Does someone know how i can solve this? Thanks for your time!

find . -type f -name "*.sl2"

Alright this returned some results!!!

root@nixos:/home/reinoud]# find . -type f -name "*.sl2" ./Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Elden Ring/drive_c/users/reinoud/AppData/Roaming/EldenRing/76561197960267366/ER0000.sl2 ./Games/ELDEN RING/drive_c/users/reinoud/AppData/Roaming/EldenRing/76561197960267366/ER0000.sl2 ./.wine/drive_c/users/reinoud/AppData/Roaming/DarkSoulsIII/0110000100000666/DS30000.sl2 ./.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/2513850683/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/EldenRing/76561197960267366/ER0000.sl2 ./.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/783770/pfx/drive_c/drive_c/drive_c/users/reinoud/AppData/Roaming/DarkSoulsIII/0110000100000666/DS30000.sl2 ./.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/783770/pfx/drive_c/drive_c/users/reinoud/AppData/Roaming/EldenRing/76561197960267366/ER0000.sl2 ./.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/783770/pfx/drive_c/users/reinoud/AppData/Roaming/DarkSoulsIII/0110000100000666/DS30000.sl2 ./.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/783770/pfx/drive_c/users/reinoud/AppData/Roaming/EldenRing/76561197960267366/ER0000.sl2 ./.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/3523680750/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/DarkSoulsIII/0110000100000666/DS30000.sl2

You'll need to run the game once, at which point there should be a folder with a bunch of numbers in that folder. It seems like the folder is here from what you've posted:

$HOME/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Elden Ring/drive_c/users/reinoud/AppData/Roaming/EldenRing/76561197960267366

I could be wrong however, sorry for that I only use heroic for GOG games

But yeah, just paste the ER0000.sl2 file in that folder and all should be good, as long as you're using the same pirated version of EldenRing. If you start the game and it says save file currupted or something along those lines, though I doubt it will, you'll need the eldenring save manager mod to fix it. Again however, I doubt this is needed

Tested it and it works, Thank you very very very much for your time and help!!! Its unbelieveble how much of a better launcher heroic is instead of steam :). Thanks again !!!!

Yeah I do love heroic, fantastic and modern UI and very usable. I use lutris for pirated games though but I mostly buy from GOG so heroic is my main launcher currently
