Heroic game files (feddit.org)

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?

That's probably not it, but in Linux the case of filenames matter. The standard folder for Heroic installs is ~/Games/Heroic and not /games/heroic. Make sure you are looking in the right folder.

~ means your home folder, so on the Steam Deck that would be /home/deck.

A slash / at the beginning indicates your system drive. While it is not impossible to configure Heroic to install games there I doubt this is the case unless you know what you are doing.
