Elder Scrolls Online not working on Heroic Launcher
Hello!
I'm trying to help a friend who recently moved to Bazzite to install ESO. He only has it on Epic Games, and was not being able run the game via Heroic Games Launcher.
I've never had to use Heroic as I use mostly only Steam. But I tried to install from his account on my computer but it also did not work.
Applying Winetricks gave a bunch of errors, mostly related to it using not working on 64 bit prefixes.
I don't know how to change to the 32 bits version, or if the problem is something related to the immutable nature of Bazzite.
We've been following this tutorial, but if anyone know if there's a better way to play games from Epic rather than using Heroic or this specific method I'm also open to alternatives.
How to install EGS Elder Scrolls Online on the Steamdeck - lemm.ee
I’ve collected tips from around the internet and rolled them up into a single
post - 98GB installed but may need 130-140GB during the install. - The game
initially uses keyboard controls only, you need to enable gamepad support. See
the end of this guide. - I’m running a locked 40FPS @ 1280x800 on medium

I have a few people on the Heroic discord server facing issues after the most recent update to ESO. Nothing resolved yet
for that winetricks error, it's actually just a warning
though
dotnet48 does suck to install under WineIs there a better alternative to dotnet48?
there is no alternative to
dotnet48 when it is a dependencyI see
there was one thing in the run logs that suggested maybe installing
dotnet40_kb(something), but I can't recall if that changed anythingI have not found this on my logs, just this warning.
warning: This package (dotnet40) may not fully work on a 64-bit installation. 32-bit prefixes may work better.
I'm assuming that the Steam version is working. Thats the only alternative to playing ESO on Linux currently?you would need to enable verbose logging for the Heroic game and dig into it
post it here and I can show you specifically what I was looking at
I'm not finding an option to enable verbose logging on the settings.
I found a logs folder, is this maybe it?
game settings in Heroic, Advanced
wrong log
click the Report a Problem link under Play Now and upload the log
Thanks! Was looking inside the Global Settings, not the game's (facepalm). I think this is it now.
Sorry for the delay, I just started uni and am having little free time to follow up on this.
In this one the verbose logs was not yet generated... forgot i had to run the game again
Switch to GE-Proton-latest and also ensure that umu is enabled by checking and unchecking the disable umu button
Done it.
It took longer to open, but still crashed in the end.
looks like vcrun2022 failed to install
Can i install it manually?
you can try. just use winetricks within Heroic
I'm not finding it on winetricks gui. Can you guide me on how to do this?
@Lolkts
This is my friend who is actually the one trying to play the game.
hi
tried to do this and still didn't work
did you try installing
dotnet40_kb2468871?
I would note that a lot of people have been reporting issues with ESO after its last updateyes, I'll probably have to wait for a fix, but its no problem I have a dual boot with windows so I can still play the game
thanks for your help
I will mark this post as answered then.
Thanks for putting the time to help, @termdisc. Really appreciate it!
