Launcher fails to install games where you can select additional content with legendary

[furokku]

Describe the bug

In the heroic launcher, games like Fortnite do not install correctly, instead hanging on the 'Installing...' text with no ETA. By running the legendary command manually to begin the installation, it appears that it asks you for a comma separated list of additional content, even with the -y option, however it does work, and it seems that this is what causes heroic to simply not install the game.

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to any game that allows you to download additional content (e.g. Fortnite)
2. Click on 'Install'
3. See that no game download is ever started.

Expected behavior

The launcher should start downloading a game, where additional content can be installed at will.

We will check that. Was working last time I tried.
As a side note,
You know that fortnite doesn't work on Linux, right?

It does load to the title screen, but crashes on joining a game. Some people have gotten it to work, but I'm moreso using it as an example here.

the game does let you chill with ur friends but not actually play
edit: and I remember trying to install it to see if it would work, and I ran into the same issue, where it would not install.

I'm trying to install Fortnite on Windows and encounter the same problem.

My issue linked below is possibly related (Windows 10)
#1497

[Etaash-mathamsetty]

this is still an issue, looking at the folder in which the game installed, you can see that no files are present, just the folders

[arielj]

can you try using the portable build from this PR? #1481 https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/actions/runs/2505715711

[Etaash-mathamsetty]

seems to work (taken on linux actually, game does crash after it realizes that u are running on linux lmao)

[furokku]

My bad for not looking this over, it seems the issue has been fixed with #1481 .

[0x8008]

As of 22/08/16 and Heroic version 2.4.0 on Windows this is still an issue for me.

The game downloaded fine using Heroic previously and I played it for a couple of hours, can't patch it today due to a charmap issue...
