 ====== Heroic Games Launcher (Epic Games store) ======

Unfortunately this launcher is not as fully integrated into Batocera as Steam is so some manual work is required.

-The Heroic Games Launcher Flatpak is bugged and will not launch correctly using the default flags. You **must** launch via SSH using the following command:
 <code>
+#!/bin/sh
 flatpak run com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl --no-sandbox

+Once you reload the game lists from EmulationStation (**Game Settings** --> **Update Gamelists**) you will find a newly created ''Heroic'' launcer in the Ports section of EmulationStation. This is the one you need to launch, **not** the "Heroic Games Launcher" one with the sword icon, unfortunately, this one cannot be launched on Batocera, at the time of writing.

+===== Launch Heroic Games Launcher =====
-This may be worked around in the future. As alternative you can create a .sh launcher at ports system: [[systems:flatpak#my_flatpaks_including_steam_won_t_launch|add launcher at ports section]]
