Heroic Games Launcher Python3 Errors

So I recently installed Heroic Launcher 2.3.3 using the Github RPM. This RPM has worked for me in past versions but I am now getting errors related to python and I was hoping for some help.


Launch Command: /opt/Heroic/resources/app.asar.unpacked/build/bin/linux/legendary launch Kiwi --wine "/home/DELETED/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton - Experimental/proton" --wine-prefix /home/DELETED/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/Tetris®-Effect-Connected

<no Python frame>

I get that it is likely something to do with setting the pythonpath and pythonhome environment variables… but not sure why these are not automatically set during the setup for python in openSUSE.

Please let me know if I am way off base here.

Thank you

Why not over the OBS Software search ?

I had install it via this way and have no problems.

I add the repo over the terminal way and adjust the rest in yast repo management software.

https://software.opensuse.org/download/package?package=heroic-games-launcher&project=home%3AHenkire__

Have tried this install method as well… Same error. tried the flatpak as well as OBS software search… both give the same error… I really think this has something to do with python as per the error log but I really just dont know anything about pythonpath or pythonhome environement variables… or why they wouldnt be set automatically in OpenSUSE…

There have been a lot of Python-updates recently on Tumbleweed. Version 2.3.9 Heroic works fine on 20220624 snapshot. Used the rpm from the official site.
