I like that wallpaper, haven't been able to find it around though

It's on the GitLab linked in this article https://gitlab.com/acs-wayland/weston/-/blob/amd-acs-main/data/acs/background-wall.jpg [External Link]

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoC'mon!
This mutant spawn is not even available by default...

Are you sure? As far as I know all you need to do to use UMU in Lutris is to select Proton as a runner

Quoting: _J_30000Has anyone managed to get the new release to work? I did a fresh install of Heroic and started Gwent (which I had never opened before) to see if I could get the achievements to flow through but I am not sure its worked.

I can see playtime but not the achievements

If you launched Gwent from GOG that's already a sign this works, achievements may be updated retroactively only if you unlock a new one.

Quoting: robertosf92Does Heroic allow to download and install DLCs from GOG? I know it does from Epic...

Yes, currently during install process. There are plans to make it the same though

Quoting: robertosf92Any chance of adding an option to install mods from a game or libre game engines sometime in the future?

Libre engines are planned too.

Funny that nobody noticed two games with Baldur's Gate II images :wink:
It's Amazon's error though, still funny.

Quoting: EhvisI find it funny that nile dev works on Heroic, but someone else did the implementation. The beauty of open source at work!

I love this about open source too

Quoting: slaapliedjeCould be an interesting subject matter for an essay; as we know commercial competition drives innovation, but it seems to in the open source realm as well. It could be argued that instead of group A working on one product (like Heroic Game Launcher) would be drawing talent away from improving a different product (Lutris) that group B is working on. But I think in the case of these two, they seem to work just like the commercial environment where if you have no competition, you end up floundering around with little to no improvement (or you end up doing what Windows does and try to just slide in more ways to make money off of essentially the same crap).

I need to try out Heroic Game Launcher again.

I'd say it's not a competition. Both projects have different ideas and plans. While Lutris usually automates the process of installing and managing official launchers, Heroic tries to replace them with one app thanks to open source implementations (which are mostly based on many reverse engineering efforts). At least in my opinion, eventually Heroic could be the first piece of software to truly rule them all.

Quoting: hardpenguinYou probably can't, I worked there for 4+ years on Linux games releases and failed to convince them 😅

Probably is a key word here. We'll see about that :wink:
They didn't have launcher capable of using it.

So Comet will provide support for the likes of achievements, stats, friends, leaderboards and more.

Yeah I think that will not work. The Linux builds on GOG.com do not have these features implemented in the first place.

Unless this project aims to support the Windows games in Wine / Proton as well. That might work.

Sadly GOG doesn't provide GOG Galaxy SDK builds for Linux. The only game that does somehow has it is Stardew Valley.

Nothing we can do about it unless we convince GOG to release SDK for Linux.
