Related to #3480 and depends on the updated Flatpak support in ULWGL aka umu to be merged/reviewed. After the Flatpak umu is installed in the user's system, the Heroic Games Launcher will need to allow explicit access to umu's
$XDG_DATA_HOME/umu
and the system/app/share
directory to run games through the launcher.The reason is because, without going into the details, umu will currently copy files from
/app/share
to its private Flatpak directory, and Valve's Steam Runtime tools (e.g., Pressure Vessel) are designed to only be executed from the user's home directory. Without explicit visibility to these directories defined in Heroic's manifest, it's likely that umu will fail to launch games successfully due to Flatpak's strict filesystem permissions.Use the following Checklist if you have changed something on the Backend or Frontend:
