- b3lvedere 4mo agoHeroic Launcher is awesome on the Steam Deck
- f055 4mo agoBut I wonder if Heroic can install HoMM2 on a Mac if no Mac binary is available on GOG.
- univocal 4mo agoI have to admit, I've tried using Heroic Launcher both on macOS and on a Steam Deck and in both cases the experience has been rather frustrating. Maybe I was just unlucky, but any game I tried was broken in a way or another, or stopped working with no clear explanation (weird segfaults at start) just a few days later. I've tried GOG DOS Games, GOG Windows Games, Steam Games under Proton, nothing was particularly usable. Got the very same games working under Faugus Launcher and Dosbox-X. The UX is a bit worse but my games run without any issues, and I've stuck with those since then.
- CodesInChaos 4mo agoHow so? I don't think heroic can install a native DOSBox when the game ships a windows DOSBox. Or was that added recently?
- tmtvl 4mo agoApparently (<https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/wiki/How-To%3A-DOSBOX-and-SCUMMVM https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher...>) Heroic supports launching games with DOSBox Staging or ScummVM.
