Hello!

I'm having a hard time finding any game files from my heroic installs.

I have three games installed, two Linux and one windows game. They all run well and the save games persist, but after looking absolutely everywhere in the file structure, I can't find absolutely anything:

Inside /games/heroic/ there's absolutely nothing, no prefix folder or anything, even though that's the install path.

I haven't been able to find it all those compatdata or whatever folders.

Could it all be buried deep inside the heroic install folder?

Click on the game in your library. On the game page click the three dots menu in the top right. Click Browse Files.

It doesn't work ๐Ÿ˜ญ

The path shows /games/heroic/silksong/ for example, but when I click it it doesn't open and when I navigate to that folder it's empty

Do you need to open the folder as administrator (right click folder in Dolphin, click "open as administrator")?

Seems unlikely, but do you have "show hidden files" checked off?
