@robindegen this is heroic-games-launcher not heroic-games-launcher-bin

newer electron version are not fully backwards compatible; heroic is currently using electron31, using electron34 introduced this bug: https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/issues/4357

using the binary package resolves this

When I run (as an example):

xdg-open heroic://launch/gog/1482265668

I get this error:

kf.kio.core: "/usr/share/applications/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl.desktop" contains supported protocols but doesn't use %u or %U in its Exec line! This is inconsistent.

If I edit the file and add %u it works of course, but it seems like the package should do this. This wasn't happening before which indicates that its probably a recently introduced requirement for KDE. Maybe adding %u will break it for other systems, so I am not sure what would be the appropriate fix.

Edit: It looks like the %U was there before and recent changes to the package broke this.

@FabioLolix: Changing the StartupWMClass value to 'heroic' resolves the issue. Remove the sed bit from the package function and do the following in the prepare function:

desktop-file-edit --set-key=Exec --set-value=heroic --set-key=StartupWMClass --set-value=heroic flatpak/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl.desktop

Latest version 2.15.2-4 needs its .desktop to be fixed for its icon to display properly in gnome dock

Changes in 2.15.2-4 is using default file names for those files, fixed the icon on Cinnamon, I don't have gnome or other DE to test on
