Heroic Games Launcher is a new unofficial Epic Games Store for Linux

Hi!

Thanks for posting here about the Launcher. I started the project but it is growing really fast now and we have other contributors.

Right now we are working on a major overhaul of the interface without being dependent on Xterm or Legendary being installed anymore. we are still using Legendary ofc, but now it is integrated with Heroic. But for Xterm, we will not need it anymore since now we have a proper login screen and feedback on the installation status.
Also, we are adding an option to use another wine version (proton maybe but I think Lutris wine would be better) and a different wine prefix.

If you want to take a look on the new interface, I added the pictures here on this thread on Github:

And if you work with web technologies like React, NodeJS, CSS, feel free to clone the repository and make improvements as well.

In the future, we also want to add the possibility to add games outside of Epic and maybe with other stores.

I tried an earlier version, and it just had a login loop. Latest version says it changed that, but it never prompts for anything at all and just shows a blank window. It does show an error when run from CLI:

Error occurred in handler for 'readFile': TypeError: Cannot read property 'url' of undefined
at /opt/heroic/resources/app.asar/build/main.js:152:15

Meanwhile, legendary itself is working fine, at least to log in and list all the free games I claimed; I'm happy to cost Epic money.
Yeah, I'm aware of this bug and this new version fixed it:

Quoting: undeadbydawninstalled the bin from AUR, launched, and it's doing nothing. At all. Will tinker a bit and see if I can get a response, which would be really nice since I haven't been able to play Mortal Shell yet
Hi!

This was probably because it was with a bug when loading the library, I just fixed on the new version.

Quoting: ShmerlA lot of them don't have a voice. I assume it's because there are so many NPCs that they didn't have enough voice actors.
Hmm, I was able to test on windows and also saw a few gameplays and I could not find an NPC without a voice. Also, do you hear gunshots? what about music on radios and on clubs? for me I can hear some audio but not the music itself, is hard to explain, to be honest.

Quoting: ShmerlI tested that patch - no change, likely because it's already GPU bottlenecked. Also, I don't have any trouble with audio.
The common NPCs have voice? Not the history NPCs that you can interact and make questions, those are working for me, but the ones you find on the street and clubs, those are without voice for me.
