Hello, I have been using steam to run a pirated version of elden ring on my linux desktop. This works fine but now i wanna move to heroic launcher instead of steam. The game launches but i dont have any progress in the game. I think it has something todo with wineprefix but i have no clue how to solve this.

Does someone know how i can solve this? Thanks for your time!

[root@nixos:/home/reinoud]# find . -type f -name "elden" ./.config/lutris/games/elden-1698937086.yml ./.config/lutris/games/eldenring-1706884017.yml ./Desktop/eldenring.exe.desktop ./Games/ELDEN RING/_Windows7_Fix/Game/eldenring_win7.exe ./Games/ELDEN RING/Game/eldenring.exe ./.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/3992344196/pfx/drive_c/proton_shortcuts/icons/32x32/apps/8637_eldenring.0.png ./.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/3992344196/pfx/drive_c/proton_shortcuts/icons/64x64/apps/8637_eldenring.0.png ./.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/3992344196/pfx/drive_c/proton_shortcuts/icons/128x128/apps/8637_eldenring.0.png ./.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/3992344196/pfx/drive_c/proton_shortcuts/icons/256x256/apps/8637_eldenring.0.png ./.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/3992344196/pfx/drive_c/proton_shortcuts/icons/16x16/apps/8637_eldenring.0.png ./.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/3992344196/pfx/drive_c/proton_shortcuts/icons/48x48/apps/8637_eldenring.0.png ./.local/share/RecentDocuments/eldenring.exe.desktop

So i assume 3992344196 is my game id. But when entering : .local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/3992344196/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming i dont see a elding ring folder. Only a microsoft folder with nothing usefull in it. Using the find command im also unable to find a .sl file:

find . -type f -name "*.sl"

Returns nothing

sorry about that, the file is called ER0000.sl2

You should try find . -type f -name "*.sl2"

For others that may see this and be confused, what you're asking is for any file ending in exactly .sl. Since the ending is sl2 it'll be false, as there's a 2 at the end.

find . -type f -name "*.sl2"

Alright this returned some results!!!

root@nixos:/home/reinoud]# find . -type f -name "*.sl2" ./Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Elden Ring/drive_c/users/reinoud/AppData/Roaming/EldenRing/76561197960267366/ER0000.sl2 ./Games/ELDEN RING/drive_c/users/reinoud/AppData/Roaming/EldenRing/76561197960267366/ER0000.sl2 ./.wine/drive_c/users/reinoud/AppData/Roaming/DarkSoulsIII/0110000100000666/DS30000.sl2 ./.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/2513850683/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/EldenRing/76561197960267366/ER0000.sl2 ./.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/783770/pfx/drive_c/drive_c/drive_c/users/reinoud/AppData/Roaming/DarkSoulsIII/0110000100000666/DS30000.sl2 ./.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/783770/pfx/drive_c/drive_c/users/reinoud/AppData/Roaming/EldenRing/76561197960267366/ER0000.sl2 ./.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/783770/pfx/drive_c/users/reinoud/AppData/Roaming/DarkSoulsIII/0110000100000666/DS30000.sl2 ./.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/783770/pfx/drive_c/users/reinoud/AppData/Roaming/EldenRing/76561197960267366/ER0000.sl2 ./.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/3523680750/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/DarkSoulsIII/0110000100000666/DS30000.sl2

Now i just past the .sl2 file in $HOME/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/EldenRing/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/EldenRing/ ?

You'll need to run the game once, at which point there should be a folder with a bunch of numbers in that folder. It seems like the folder is here from what you've posted:

$HOME/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Elden Ring/drive_c/users/reinoud/AppData/Roaming/EldenRing/76561197960267366

I could be wrong however, sorry for that I only use heroic for GOG games

But yeah, just paste the ER0000.sl2 file in that folder and all should be good, as long as you're using the same pirated version of EldenRing. If you start the game and it says save file currupted or something along those lines, though I doubt it will, you'll need the eldenring save manager mod to fix it. Again however, I doubt this is needed
