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!

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

[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

I did a tree on the folder and found a few references to elden ring but i had no idea what to do with it. The tree output can be found at https://pastebin.com/wYMG8D7L
