    Hi Guys! FYI on this news below as changes in SD Card location might impact your installation for EPIC Games and others.
    Dec 21, 2022:
    Update: Valve announced they will rock back the change to the microSD path.
    Valve has released the 3.4 update of SteamOS for all users, and after a lengthy period in the beta channel, the update is now in the stable channel.
    However, for this update, Valve changed the path for the microSD. While previously, it was /run/media/mmcblk0p1 it will now be /run/media/deck/mmcblk0p1. This will risk breaking many things, including Emudeck. Thankfully, here's a guide on how to fix EmuDeck for this update.
    So if you wish to install the update, all you have to do is press the Steam button, scroll down to Settings, and under System, you will find the update.

      @@GlennThoughts I am so far. Played Spider-Man on Steam and Forza Horizon 5 on Xbox streaming on my lunch break. I'm also surprised about the weight. I heard people talk about it being big... guess i took that as it was heavy. Pretty light for what it can do.

    I just did this today and didn't need to use flatseal at all. In desktop mode I went to the heroic settings tab and under general changed the default installation location to my sd card. Then when I went to install a game I was able to click and choose my sd card as my install location. Maybe they updated it and you no longer need flatseal?

    Cool. Watched this before and I'm fairly adept with Linux distros and all of this made sense. Just got my deck order and already downloaded flatseal, but it's not actually needed at all. Apparently Heroic flat permissions have been updated at some point between this video. Tried downloading to sd card directory one Epic game and it worked without any issues at all.

    So I followed the guide and installed a game from Epic Games to my SD Card. Managed to do that in the Steam Gaming Mode through the Heroic Launcher - no need to use desktop mode. It has installed the game, but the game ONLY appears if I launch Heroic. The games does not appear in the Non-Steam tab of the dashboard. Now, I can't run the game because the Steam Deck treats the Heroic Launcher as a game, so this would be like trying to run a game within a game. It's not working. I tried to launch the game from the Heroic Launcher and I'm stuck on a loading screen, nothing happens even after several minutes. Have I done something wrong?

    Very strange to me. If I launch game (I tried fallout 3 goty) from heroic launcher, I am stuck on intro (please stand by picture), but if I add the epic game as a non steam game and launch it from the library, it works. Dunno why. Any idea?
