Added link to TKG scripts for Arch, as they kindly updated already.

Edit: apparently the TKG install has stuff in the wrong place.

I guess I was wrong about that then, having it load into a tab would be nice though rather than a brand new window :)

As for the tray update: hooray!

Great work.

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.

Well Death Trash currently has what looks to be a shader bug, have let the developer know as enemy view cones are bright pink.

Edit: Vulkan fixes it. Use "-force-vulkan" as a launch option for Death Trash.

Absolutely. Seems like a good step.

Direct3D 9 / 10 / 11 to Vulkan translation layer DXVK 1.9 is out now

Quoting: PangaeaWasn't it announced a while back that DXVK was feature complete, and went into maintenance mode? Was that changed again, or is this counted as part of "maintenance"? Great with new releases in any case. DXVK has been a gamechanger!
We asked some time ago, their statement can be found here.
