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!
lutris has UMU support which means it can run proton outside of steam. I reccomend it instead.
Never touched heroic launcher so can’t really help you there. Normally I just use Lutris, works without fail every time.

Can you change the runner in heroic launcher? Like proton instead of wine?
Yes i can, when changing it from wine staging to proton it doesn’t launch while it does launch on steam using proton. I have set the wine prefix to ~/.steam/root/steamapps/compatdata/783770/pfx where 78… is the game id i think.
You’ll want to get the save from steams prefix and copy it to heroics prefix, or your default prefix. Sorry, not near a pc so this’ll be a bit off
The steam save file should be located somewhere around here:
$HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1245620/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/EldenRingIt should be called something like “er0001.sl2”
Find the same location in your heroic prefix, which should be saved here
$HOME/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/EldenRing/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/EldenRing/
Locations may be a bit different, sorry for any possible confusion.
If you removed the game from steam already though the save file is gone. This has bitten me in the past personally
Edit: Save file ends in sl2, not sl as I had stated before the edit
