Hi everyone!

After buying only games from Steam, I’ve decided to also try to support GOG.

I’ve bought only one game so far (Earthworm Jim) and got 4 for free.

When trying to install Earthworm Jim, Heroic only allows me to install the native Linux version, when GOG says they also have the Windows version.

People on the web are saying that it’s better to use proton and not Linux versions.

Despite some research, I can’t find a way to switch versions.

Can anyone help me?

Also since I have some proton versions downloaded for Steam Os, do I need to download them again in Heroic?

Edit: Problem solved by doing the same operation in desktop mode

    You can always download and install manually.
    To be honest I wasn’t aware GOG even had a Linux client! Maybe it doesn’t have proton like functionality, but they did make install scripts for wine once.

      It doesn’t. This is Heroic launcher, which is an unofficial launcher that can download games from EGS, GOG and Amazon. It does support Proton generally, not sure why it doesn’t in this case.
