We support native Dosbox with the next release https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/pull/3797 Does this fix your problem?

I run archlinux, I have updated to 2.15.1, and have dosbox installed. I tested 2 games, Bio Menace and Battle Chess, installed both as linux, but neither launches, both with the following error:

/home/redacted/Games/Heroic/Battle Chess/dosbox/dosbox_x86_64: error while loading shared libraries: libFLAC.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

/home/redacted/Games/Heroic/Bio Menace/dosbox/dosbox_x86_64: error while loading shared libraries: libFLAC.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Would it be better if I file a different bug for this?

Currently it's best to run Windows versions of those games. With 2.15.0 you can have native dosbox staging installed on your machine and that will be used instead of Proton

Whole feature is now described on the Wiki https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/wiki/How-To:-DOSBOX-and-SCUMMVM
