Heroic Games Launcher v2.20.1 brings more essential bug fixes

I am sure that more testing from users for betas will help reduce that 😇

Fluxer? Shouldn't we focus on making matrix the decentralized goto place for former discord users? I don't think we need a reinvention from scratch once again.

Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown demo upgraded with voice-over

I think the Ship combat needs work, i am nostly clicking random Buttons and hope it works🤣
The pictures for the characters feel a bit more detailed than the actual models, which feel a bit off as well.
The rest looks like it could be fun.
I already lost a few games because I was too busy collecting stuff and building new rooms and totally forgot the crews morale and left them without beds and with emergency rations for too long😇

The graphic style doesn't really resonate with me, but it is nice to see some more skating games.

Often you have hardware that has no or just out of tree drivers, so i welcome any concerted effort to change that.
Gaming critical software for me also includes wine, wine-staging, umu, proton, LACT, coolercontrol, DXVK, VKD3D , Mangohud, Goverlay, LinuxGamingBenchmark,CapFrameX,Heroic-Launcher, Lutris, Playnite, VR-Stuff , OBS,OpenRazer, OpenRGB and more besides the drivers.

Heroic Games Launcher v2.19 released adding ZOOM Platform, AppImage updates and more

Quoting: keturiduSame. I don't get logic, why stubbornly not to include Steam games import to Heroic.
Heroic prides itself to replace official launchers and code their own app from the ground up.
Their backend tools speak directly to the servers of Amazon, Epic and GoG.
This is quite an unnecessary task and a hard one to do for Steam, as it is both complex and natively available on all platforms.
It serves as a counterpart for non-steam games.

GOG plan to look a bit closer at Linux through 2026

The important part is the builds.
Too many of them depend on libraries that are no longer available in modern Linux Distros.
Also i think they should get rid of that weird shellscript installer that has an archive wrapped in a .sh file.
I also like to see one general gog script interpreter shipped by galaxy that executes allt changes after the game updates instead of each game shipping its own temporary copy. Doesn't work well with firewalls on all operation systems.

I have some lyrics in my head "how low can you go?" ;)
Very nice to see so many people working on game compatibility improvements.

I hope they will add more payment types soon. Independence and robustness depend on being usable without credit cards that are run by US companies

They don't have to release galaxy for Linux at all to be viable for Linux gaming. There is already plenty of tools handling that.🥰
