Describe the bug

You are using the AppImage? I am not sure Shortcuts will work on AppImages.

It will work if i refactor it. Add none steam game also works with AppImage.

add non steam game does not work with the app image for me

The Escapist is not working on Linux, so it is more a issue with the game rather than the functionality of heroic. Before you use the add shortcut and add to steam buttons, make sure the game runs from heroic directly!

oh I didn't know that (I'll try a different game), the game does launch though, it just crashes on the main menu for some reason
still not working after using a different game and running it
What does the log say? General Logs and Game Logs? Did you tried to run the game before inside heroic?
had to relaunch heroic because it didn't refresh something properly, so the log is split heroic-2022-07-17T15_20_48.950Z.log heroic-2022-07-17T15_50_17.582Z.log

Try out wine-ge from our wine -manager. Also you need to check game logs. General logs look fine.
with wine ge Flounder-lastPlay.log
Can't help here. Head over to our discord server and ask in linux channel for help. I will close the ticket because it is not a bug in heroic. It is a problem to get a game running.

the game works fine though? it's an issue in litterally any game I install too, so its a bug in heroic

Can you provide a game log and general log if you run it trough steam?

that's the issue, it's not showing up on steam :/
that's the issue, it's not showing up on steam :/
Did you restarted steam? It is needed, else the game never will show up in steam. Steam only reads the shortcuts.vdf on startup.

yes I restarted it 4 times already lol
Yes but i need general logs. If you add the game to steam you get a error message or a success message, that it was added to steam. I need that for a first guess. Also do you have multiple steam path? You can see what is the default in the general settings, advanced or others. Can't remember correctly imo.
my steam path (I only have one version of steam installed)
/home/etaash/.steam/steam
I don't get any message that the game was added to steam or not, how do I manually add it?

the more hilarious part is that it says the game was removed from steam, but it never says that it added the game to steam
So you pressed the add to steam button on the gamepage > tools section? Btw this button is only present if you build the beta branch by yourselfs or downlaoded the latest appimage build from heroic actions. It is not available in the current beta or stable release.
From the log i don't see any message from [shortcuts]

I built it myself with some patches applied to fix dualsense support and the patches from the pr I mentioned above, and I can't find this option, could you send a picture? edit: nvm found it edit: it works edit: desktop shortcut works, but no application shortcut

Yes the shortcuts are a little broken and i will refactor the backend soon.
I tried this again with trackmaina and it seems to work fine, but since it needs a refactor anyway, I will leave this open
This will be fixed in the next release, this PR is already merged https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/pull/1903
I think we should backport some of these fixes into stable, mainly #1903 and #1852 edit: will close this now, since it's (probably) fixed
