SOLVED Trouble moving form steam to heroic launcher
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!
You'll want to get the save from steams prefix and copy it to heroics prefix, or your default prefix. Sorry, not near a pc so this'll be a bit off
The steam save file should be located somewhere around here:
$HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1245620/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/EldenRing
It should be called something like "er0001.sl2"
Find the same location in your heroic prefix, which should be saved here
Thanks for your respons! But i have a problem
The game id you mentioned is indeed the one for eldenring but i dont have that id in my .local/share/Steam/steamapps this i think bc steam doesnt recognize the game it just shows eldenring.exe without a logo or something. How can i find the game id of it?
Ah shit, yes, that's a good point. It eill give a semi random I'd to non-steam games. I don't know if the prefix is guessible, so when I need to I check each folder for it.
Now thinking though that's a fairly dumb way of doing it. I'd suggest instead searching for "EldenRing" in the .local/share/Steam/steamapps folder. May that be in your normal file manager such as plasmas dolphin, or with the find command in terminal
Yes i can, when changing it from wine staging to proton it doesn't launch while it does launch on steam using proton. I have set the wine prefix to ~/.steam/root/steamapps/compatdata/783770/pfx where 78... is the game id i think.
