Hi!

This version gives several improvements and fixes for Heroic overall while we work on some other big features that are already in testing/review like the itch.io, humble bundle and Steam integration, besides a new "plugin" system that will make it easier for people to add new integrations like Emulators support and many more in the future.

Full Changelog: v2.20.1...v2.21.0

Hi!

This Hotfix should address some issues some people are having with Heroic randomly showing error dialogs that are not really errors just some harmless but scary python logs.
It should also make Heroic compatible (at least for Epic games) with old version of python3, even though we added support for it we believe everyone should upgrade their Python version to version 3.12 or newer to avoid other issues especially with the GOG runner.

Besides those, there are a few more backend and UI fixes as you can see bellow:

Changelog

• [UI] Show update badge on gamecard only if controller is connected by @flavioislima in #5361
• [FIX] Change DXVK macos fix from previous release by @arielj in #5359

Hi!

It's been just a few weeks since 2.19.1 came out but we felt that was time for another release due to some bugs we found in there and other improvements we had. In fact, our team is considering more frequent releases because then it's easier to catch bugs and receive feedback and improve the app.

We are also considering having more Beta releases to test those big changes first before it goes into stable, this was really useful this week since we were able to find a major bug and we thank everyone who tested the 2.20-beta.1.

If you find any other bug make sure to open an issue here on Github or on our Discord!

Full Changelog: v2.19.1...v2.20.0-beta.1

Hi!

After releasing the 2.19 version yesterday we started receiving reports of some people on Linux with some issues when lanching their games. This was due to an issue with conflicting libraries used when building Legendary and GOGDL that affected some Linux distros. This new release should fix that issue.

If you find any other issue please let us know on Github or Discord.

Also, on Linux, the ideal way to use Heroic is through Flathub. This is because it is a more reproducible and controllable way for everyone to test since the flatpak won't depend on system libraries directly.

v2.19.0 changelog

Highlights

• Added experimental integration for games from the Zoom platform, Linux only for now. Next release we will bring it to the others.
• macOS - Added support for DXMT -M chips only- (Install a version of Wine-Staging and 2 variants will appear, it only applies to new Wine-Staging installations, so if you want the DXMT variant of a version you already have installed, reinstall it)
• Added new Launch Options setting for games that supports it.
• Added Import button to the game page so its easier to find it.
• Added some Sync-Saves options to the Game page as well.
• macOS - Removed the ability to install Steam with a button since it is not working anymore, we are investigating other ways of automate that, but for now we preferred to remove it.
• Cleaned up several options that are not relevant for Linux and macOS anymore.
• Improved gamepad navigation in general
• Linux - Added initial support for AppImage auto-update.
• Windows - both the Setup and Portable versions are signed with certificate now.
• Updated Electron to v39
• Updated gogdl and legendary with fixes for a few bugs related with game listing, updates and more.
• Linux - The DXVK Frame Rate option was removed since it was removed from DXVK completely and it was not doing anything already (it's still available on macOS)
• Added Irish translations
• Accessibility - Added an option to disable all animations
• Several other fixes and improvements.
