Playing on Linux with Faugus

HnH Hero is a Windows game. On Linux it runs through Faugus Launcher, which uses Proton (the same as Steam) without setting up Wine by hand.

1. Install Faugus Launcher

• Flatpak (any distribution): search for Faugus Launcher in your app store (GNOME Software, Discover) or run flatpak install flathub io.github.Faugus.faugus-launcher.
• Arch, Fedora and Ubuntu also have their own packages; see the project page on GitHub (Faugus/faugus-launcher).

2. Download the client

Download the Full client from the Download page and extract it, for example, to ~/Games/HnH-Hero.

3. Add the game

1. In Faugus, click + (add).
2. Title: HnH Hero.
3. Path: pick HnHLauncher.exe inside the client folder.
4. Prefix: you can keep the suggested one. Use a prefix just for HnH Hero.
5. Proton: keep the default (GE-Proton or Proton-EM).
6. Save and click Play.

The first time, Faugus downloads Proton and sets up the prefix; this takes a few minutes. After that the launcher opens normally.

If something goes wrong

• The launcher window stays blank: edit the game in Faugus, point the path to Hero.exe and put !TianDiHuangLauncher~# in Arguments. The game opens directly, with your saved graphics settings.
• The game closes at character select (virtual machines): turn off Shadows and Motion blur in the launcher settings.
• Black or frozen screen: switch the Proton version in the game's options in Faugus.
