Hi everyone!

After buying only games from Steam, I’ve decided to also try to support GOG.

I’ve bought only one game so far (Earthworm Jim) and got 4 for free.

When trying to install Earthworm Jim, Heroic only allows me to install the native Linux version, when GOG says they also have the Windows version.

People on the web are saying that it’s better to use proton and not Linux versions.

Despite some research, I can’t find a way to switch versions.

Can anyone help me?

Also since I have some proton versions downloaded for Steam Os, do I need to download them again in Heroic?

Edit: Problem solved by doing the same operation in desktop mode

    What happens when you click on the drop-down menu to select the version? I’ve had issues in the past with Heroic where the drop-down menus would only work in desktop mode on the Steam Deck, FWIW.

      That was it! Thanks

      In game mode, clicking on the list would only show me the Linux version.

      In desktop mode it allowed me to select the Windows version 👍

        Glad you were able to get it working!
        I need to get around to creating a bug report, I’m guessing the issue is with gamescope and not Heroic itself, but I’m not sure.

      The screenshot is what happens. The highlighted border means the dropdown is active. This is a bug, because it should be showing both version. If only one version is available, then it wouldn’t show the version dropdown at all.

        Ah, good catch. In that case, I’ve hit this bug before, although usually when trying to select a different version of Proton afterwards, and I managed to get the drop-down working in Desktop mode.
        If OP is already in Desktop mode, then I’m not sure tbh.

          oh that’s a good point, I didn’t consider that game mode might be causing the problem. I guess I always install from desktop mode anyway, so I obviously never ran into problems with heroic in game mode.
