The Heroic Games Launcher has a bug-fix released out with v.2.17.1 bringing some essential fixes, like games not launching.
A change to the way the launcher updated DXVK (Direct3D to Vulkan translator) was included in a previous release, which unfortunately caused a bunch of issues with launching games on Linux systems (like SteamOS / Steam Deck) due to it hitting GitHub's rate-limit and blocking it. This has been reverted since it was problematic, so now all games should launch properly again.
On top of that Proton is now listed first in the Wine list (since that's what most people will be using), and the newer game pages introduced in the big v2.17 release have an enhanced responsive design.
