Version 2.15.2 - Flatpak not opening window

[codywlsmith]

Describe the bug

Installed the flatpak version 2.15.2 from flathub. When opening through the shortcut, nothing happens except the icon in the system tray.

If I run the flatpak through the console, the same thing happens, and when I right click the icon in the system tray and click Debug, I get these lines in the terminal:

[13:1213/135935.602376:ERROR:CONSOLE(1)] "Request Autofill.enable failed. {"code":-32601,"message":"'Autofill.enable' wasn't found"}", source: devtools://devtools/bundled/core/protocol_client/protocol_client.js (1)
[13:1213/135935.602395:ERROR:CONSOLE(1)] "Request Autofill.setAddresses failed. {"code":-32601,"message":"'Autofill.setAddresses' wasn't found"}", source: devtools://devtools/bundled/core/protocol_client/protocol_client.js (1)

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the flatpak, but still have the same issue.

Add logs

Can't get logs as I can't open the application.

Steps to reproduce

1. Run the 2.15.2 flatpak through terminal using flatpak run com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl
2. Right click on icon in system tray
3. Click 'Debug'
4. See error in terminal

Expected behavior

I expect to click on the flatpak shortcut and the application loads as normal.

I have the same problem on latest Fedora 41 since an update yesterday. Also on Nvidia, KDE Plasma 6, Flatpak and same driver.

The only ways I have found to display the window, is to do the following:

• start Heroic; the window will be invisible
• start any game; the window will "hide in tray icon"
• click the tray icon; the window will appear; working perfectly

or

• wait a couple of minutes
• click the tray icon; the window will appear

This issue seems to be related to Wayland. As this happened right after a daily OS upgrade, this could be an upstream problem with either nvidia, wayland or Electron.

Relevant part of output of flatpak run:

Recently updated my NixOS machine to unstable and getting the same issue. Application window never appears, however I am able to open the About page from the tray.

I have also tried (sort of) the suggested fix on the wiki to no avail.

I had a hunch it's related to Wayland but @Zeabyte beat me to the comment on that one.

After checking wine versions the program just hangs for a while until checking GOG settings. If there's anything I can assist with please let me know.

Edit: Sorry I didn't realize this was specifically an issue with Flatpak. Whoops. I'm not using the flatpak version, but I'll leave this up in case it's helpful.

After upgrading various graphics related packages, the issue is now gone for me. I am sure that this was an issue with some latest stable fedora package.

What do you mean when you say you updated 'various graphics related packages'? Which ones?

Sorry, I could not be specific as I upgraded many packages, many of which were graphics related. The one that is, in my opinion, most likely at fault here is the RPMFusion nvidia driver package.

Does a full dnf upgrade not fix the issue for you?

After updating flatpak Heroic Games Launcher yesterday, I am also experiencing similar issue. I have tried uninstalled with flatpak uninstall --delete-data com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl and flatpak uninstall --unused then reinstalled.

Here is my computer system info:

OS: Linux Mint 22 x86_64 
Host: Inspiron 5575 1.3.3 
Kernel: 6.8.0-50-generic

Running flatpak run com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl in the terminal shows blank window like below.

The heroic icon shows up in the taskbar and I can open the menu with Show, About, Reload, Debug, Quit. When I click About, I got this.

Here is the output in the terminal:

Bizarre update here: I haven't done anything different other than using my machine a few times over the last few days (shutting down when done at night) and Heroic is magically working again this morning. I might have ran some updates that Nobara said I need to run for flatpaks, but I don't think Heroic was included, given that it's still showing v 2.15.2

If you used dnf, you can list the transactions with dnf history list and see the upgrades with dnf history info [id] or dnf history info last.
