This is intended to help support and also add visibility because many users completely ignore the wiki link element next to the play button (or they don't even see them if they launch the game from the library screen).

If the known fixes for a given game have a wiki link, this is printed in the logs:

(11:42:21) [INFO]:    Wiki Link, read this: https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/wiki/Rockstar-Games-from-Epic-Games

I'm also adding an automation for the heroic support bot to match this string and print the wiki link when present in discord responses, to assist both the user that shared logs (since they might have ignored the wiki link) and people giving support (so they don't need to know there's a wiki page for certain games).

I have to see how it goes in discord (if it gets too annoying since it will be detected for every log, maybe I can make it not show embeded preview).


Use the following Checklist if you have changed something on the Backend or Frontend:

  • Tested the feature and it's working on a current and clean install.
  • Tested the main App features and they are still working on a current and clean install. (Login, Install, Play, Uninstall, Move games, etc.)
  • Created / Updated Tests (If necessary)
  • Created / Updated documentation (If necessary)
