Quoting: fenglengshunWhile it is by no means Heroic or Minigalaxy's responsibility, I still wish that we have any way to have Cloud Saves available for GOG games. For me, that's the main worth of buying games - the ability to store your progress across devices, and it is very handy for a chronic distro hopper like me.

I saw that the Linux Request on GOG development wishlist is now In-Progress status, but I'm skeptical of them until I see it materialize. Even then, I wish there's just some sort of API that can be accessed the same way Heroic can access EGS' Cloud Sync.

Cloud sync is tricky but we were able to sync save some games already like CP2077 and others, the problem is that not all games follows the same pattern for file saving, so its complicated to cover all cases, but we are working hard on that and I am optimistic that this will be able to go into the next major release :)

Quoting: GuestI have been eager to get Heroic Launcher to work at all for GOG titles. I am using the flatpak version and it seems to work fairly well for Epic stuff but nothing but a nightmare for GOG games personally. I am running Kubuntu 22.04.

For GOG games we are trying to improve compatibility for native games, windows games should run just fine like the Epic ones when using Wine/Proton.

For Native games we are improving how Heroic uses Steam Runtime and we are thinking about having our own runtime in the future as well.
Even with that, some native games might not work since GOG has no pattern at all for their games and sometimes is a mess to figure it out how they should work.
We depend on people opening GH issues and helping us understand what is going wrong.

If possible, go to our GH and state the game issues you are having, add details like the folder structure and the content of the gameinfo.json file, this help us a lot figuring out the errors :)

The GOG implementation is still in early stages and will be improved over time :D

Quoting: stylonWorth a try, although I also tried installing it via Lutris last night and got the exact same error so maybe there's something about the Epic version that breaks it? Everything else I've tried so far works. :unsure:

Check if on the installed folder, the game folder itself, you can find some vcredist file, if not
download vcredist x86 and x64, try version 2012, 2015 from Microsoft website and then go to the game settings in Heroic > Run Exe on Prefix and then select those downloaded files.
This will install Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime on the prefix and might fix the issue.

Quoting: BrocccolliIt looks like they may have also added support for controller navigation! I haven't been able to test this yet though.

Yes, controller navigation was implemented some time ago but some people asked for an option to disable it so we added it on the new version.
Not all controllers are supported ofc, but the most common like X360, Xone, DualShock, DualSense and the one from gamecube are. :)

Quoting: fearnflavioOne note about the 'user credentials are no longer stored in plain text':
This was related only to GOG and it's NOT the username and password, but only the token generated after login and that was used to download the games

what on the release notes says this?
https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/releases/tag/v2.3.0-beta.1 [External Link]

i dont see any changes to this behavior reported here:
https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/issues/1020 [External Link]

i can see where the log parity [improvement] between legendary and gogdl could fix this
legendary does not report epic api tokens, gogdl does in the log output
https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/heroic-gogdl [External Link]

so, it's not been fixed?

I removed it from the Releases note since I removed all the Tech and Refactor stuff, focusing more on Bug fixes and improvements in UI/UX.

If you check the logs from GOGDL on Heroic for installing, anything, no token is shown so we just forgot to close that issue.

Also, the information was misleading like I told on the comment, Heroic do not receive username and password input since its all on the webview, so heroic doesn't save any credentiasl besides the token that is needed to download the games.
And the error was on OUR side on the releases note that put it in the wrong way.

Quoting: constI'm currently considering buying Cyberpunk2077 from GOG, as it's a LOT cheaper from there then from Steam. How much hassle will that be / are there any caveats other then having to install a launcher like Heroic?

Also, is heroic really only for these two services or is it possible to sideload apps from other sources? EDIT: Just saw this is a planned feature, sorry.

I have finished Cyberpunk 2077 from GOG on Heroic and I used Proton Experimental. Worked perfectly with RTX and DLSS using a 3060ti.

Quoting: Liam DaweAh, good to know, probably good if that was noted in the release notes ;) to prevent anyone being confused

True, will do that.

It must be a particularly cold day in hell for Microsoft to move closer to supporting a Linux system

Laughed out loud in here 😂

Quoting: slaapliedjeHa, I still do not want to support them (epic, not the devs of the game launcher) in anyway.

Heroic also Supports GOG, including Native Games 👀
