Quoting: tpaueven if it is not possible to replace all the different launchers, it would still be nice if the ones that can be unified will be unified.
Every little bit helps.

You have a shop, an updater, an installer, social functions as baseline, maybe some statistics and achievements. That should cover 99% of these apps.

We will see how far this project gets.
Maybe some people will donate time and money to improve shop support. There is a donation page.

I think if we end up with two applications, steam and heroic, it would be already quite an achievement.

Yes. We have some people working on a alternative to the origin client right now, we will integrate it with Heroic if it works, but could work on other apps as well. But we have no ideia if it will work and when will be ready.
For now, I'm going to get back to the GOG implementation and also implement a way of adding any game there as well, manually putting the exe and information.

Quoting: t3gI don't have Wine installed, but I have Steam with the latest Proton and Proton-GE, for which Heroic finds. Am I supposed to also have Wine installed or can I just use Proton directly?

You can use proton without having wine installed since proton brings its own wine binary. 👍

Quoting: 14It's like I'm at capacity for this kind of stuff: Steam native, Proton, Lutris, Battle.net, Origin, minigalaxy, itch.io...

Exactly, someone should make one launcher to unify them all!

(Yes, I'm joking... kinda)

Would be amazing but also almost impossible.
even GOG galaxy don't work with all of them.
steam, to launch ea games needs to call origin, etc.
Unfortunately, this is a impossible task, even for big companies.

Quoting: EhvisBut we are working on the redesign first, because we want to support other stores, GOG for instance, soon. Maybe on 2.0 I expect :)

Hopefully with game stats and Plugins and achievements in the end :)

I'm not sure about achievements.
Right now I'm focusing on having the same features we have for the epic store with the ability to download other assets as well. Because some games provides dlcs but also wallpapers, soundtracks, different languages and so on.
So the focus on GOG is to make something similar and simple as we are doing for the epic. 🙂

Quoting: EhvisI'm hoping that at some point there will be an option to get rid of the black and white.

Yes, theming is planned. But we are working on the redesign first, because we want to support other stores, GOG for instance, soon. Maybe on 2.0 I expect :)

With great releases, we get some bugs as always and I just released 1.8.1 to fix the issue with Heroic telling there is an update even if you're the latest version.

Other than that, everything looks fine :grin:

Quoting: UsualBeen wanting to use this launcher, but I always get stuck after putting my SID.

Check if you have python 3 version 3.8 or above installed. Normally this happens because of this. Distros like OpenSuse Leap and Debian stable have an old version of python so it won't work.
If you need help try our discord 🙂

Quoting: Mumrik93One of my friends plays a lot of games from epic and he pretty much always complains about the Epic Launcher/Store, so I was just curious, how much on par with the Epic Launcher/Store is the Heroic Games Launcher? So it below? On par? or even better then the Epic Games Launcher/Store itself?

Well, there's no actual store, no buying or redeeming games currently. So that's a big one they might never be able to solve. That is, unless they embed a limited CEF-like browser into it that points to the Epic Store itself.

Like Kirghan said above. It's possible to access the store, buy and redeem games. But I'm not sure if we are able to get the epic grant, although I haven't think about it.
BTW, your suggestion to have the recent games on tray is being worked and its planned for 1.8. Also with desktop shortcuts for those (like me) that wants to play the from steam using steam link.
😁

Quoting: kfpenguinWell, I wish NVidia would fix their drivers and do better QA. Their new drivers crashes on boot if your montior is connected with DP and/or resoution greater than 1080p.

I have a 3440x1440 screen with DP and it works fine. Even freesync/gsync is working perfectly with latest drivers.

Best news ever!
Since most games don't run at 100% (sometimes even not 50% for dx12) compared to windows, that will make Linux gaming more competitive.

Right now I'm playing Nioh 2 and DLSS makes a huge difference.
Control as well and Cyberpunk could get some great benefits from it.

Quoting: toojaysHopefully this means Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition will be playable soon. Although I only have a 2060 so maybe it's irrelevant.

Me too and I think for us is even more relevant, since we can get more juice from it. :)
