Heroic Games Launcher broken after Tumbleweed upgrade 2026-01-28

[nick.b]

Hello all,

after updating tumbleweed to latest release, the Heroic Games Launcher shows an error when opening the library or game details of epic games.

Looks like that the underlying ‘legendary’ does not work properly anymore, because it shows same error message when called manually in terminal ‘/usr/bin/legendary’.

/usr/bin> legendary
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "cli.py", line 24, in <module>
  File "pyimod02_importers.py", line 457, in exec_module
  File "legendary/core.py", line 22, in <module>
  File "pyimod02_importers.py", line 457, in exec_module
  File "legendary/api/egs.py", line 11, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests_futures'
[PYI-7207:ERROR] Failed to execute script 'cli' due to unhandled exception!

I tried already to delete and install again, also I reinstalled python and the ‘requests_futures’ module, but error is still appears

Has anyone an Idea, what I can do to fix that problem?

Kind regards,
Nick

No module named 'requests_futures'

Have you installed python3XX-requests-futures?

[nick.b]

Yes, also tried to reinstall python.

For the case others have the same trouble here a working workaround (not a fix)

1. Download latest release of legendary https://github.com/derrod/legendary/releases
2. In Heroic Games Launcher navigate to Settings/Extended and set alternative binary to the downloaded file.

small correction to the workaround, download of Heroic fork is also working well.
