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!

[root@nixos:/home/reinoud]# find . -type f -name "elden" ./.config/lutris/games/elden-1698937086.yml ./.config/lutris/games/eldenring-1706884017.yml ./Desktop/eldenring.exe.desktop ./Games/ELDEN RING/_Windows7_Fix/Game/eldenring_win7.exe ./Games/ELDEN RING/Game/eldenring.exe ./.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/3992344196/pfx/drive_c/proton_shortcuts/icons/32x32/apps/8637_eldenring.0.png ./.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/3992344196/pfx/drive_c/proton_shortcuts/icons/64x64/apps/8637_eldenring.0.png ./.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/3992344196/pfx/drive_c/proton_shortcuts/icons/128x128/apps/8637_eldenring.0.png ./.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/3992344196/pfx/drive_c/proton_shortcuts/icons/256x256/apps/8637_eldenring.0.png ./.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/3992344196/pfx/drive_c/proton_shortcuts/icons/16x16/apps/8637_eldenring.0.png ./.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/3992344196/pfx/drive_c/proton_shortcuts/icons/48x48/apps/8637_eldenring.0.png ./.local/share/RecentDocuments/eldenring.exe.desktop

So i assume 3992344196 is my game id. But when entering : .local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/3992344196/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming i dont see a elding ring folder. Only a microsoft folder with nothing usefull in it. Using the find command im also unable to find a .sl file:

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

Returns nothing

sorry about that, the file is called ER0000.sl2

You should try find . -type f -name "*.sl2"

For others that may see this and be confused, what you're asking is for any file ending in exactly .sl. Since the ending is sl2 it'll be false, as there's a 2 at the end.

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

Now i just past the .sl2 file in $HOME/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/EldenRing/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/EldenRing/ ?

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
