Thanks for your respons! But i have a problem The game id you mentioned is indeed the one for eldenring but i dont have that id in my .local/share/Steam/steamapps this i think bc steam doesnt recognize the game it just shows eldenring.exe without a logo or something. How can i find the game id of it?
Ah shit, yes, that's a good point. It eill give a semi random I'd to non-steam games. I don't know if the prefix is guessible, so when I need to I check each folder for it.
Now thinking though that's a fairly dumb way of doing it. I'd suggest instead searching for "EldenRing" in the
.local/share/Steam/steamappsfolder. May that be in your normal file manager such as plasmas dolphin, or with the find command in terminal[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.sl2You 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 issl2it'll be false, as there's a2at the end.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/ ?
Tested it and it works, Thank you very very very much for your time and help!!! Its unbelieveble how much of a better launcher heroic is instead of steam :). Thanks again !!!!
Yeah I do love heroic, fantastic and modern UI and very usable. I use lutris for pirated games though but I mostly buy from GOG so heroic is my main launcher currently
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/76561197960267366I 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
I did a tree on the folder and found a few references to elden ring but i had no idea what to do with it. The tree output can be found at https://pastebin.com/wYMG8D7L
