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

    Brother, it says right in the screenshot you provided: “Select Platform Version to Install”

    In Steam, yes. In Heroic, your mileage may vary. My experience with Heroic using Proton is 50/50. Using Linux in Heroic is 100%. So try that, and see if you run into any issues.

      the border around the dropdown shows that they have clicked the dropdown. the default state is for the installation folder to be selected.
