What exactly does Ubi expect and what does wine do instead?

Quoting: fenglengshunNot surprising that the Nix packagers are holding off for the hotfix. Wonder if there'll be a second hotfix after this.
Probably,EOS Overlay install got broken :whistle:

Heroic Games Launcher gets a critical hotfix in 2.9.1

Quoting: TangoBakerThis seems like a good place to ask. Has anyone had any luck getting Crimson Skies or Interstate '76 to run through Heroic? I've been trying for a while and I haven't had any success.
There is a support channel on the Heroic Discord Server, where you should upload some logfiles so people can try to help :)

Quoting: TheRiddickNow if only MS would have a XBOX Live Games Live whatever they call it in API form so they can be played like this also.

Quoting: ShmerlThis is pretty cool. I wish actual UEFI for common motherboards was also open source.
I think this is a building block for going in that direction.

Heroic Games Launcher 2.8.0 adds a DLC manager for Epic Games, side-loading browser apps

I am sure code would be the better donation as you see a lot of requests from people for new platforms and features.
Also i am sure that the project could need a hand with issue handling. People have problems but might not be good at describing the issue or looking for duplicates. Issue trackers tend to overflow with requests rather fast and i am sure bringing down the noise there would be great.

AirJet from Frore Systems could be great cooling for a Steam Deck 2

Or any other competitor :)
I personally would love to see this grow into a product that works with a desktop computer so you can have a silent, dustproof gaming rig without having to worry about cooling liquid leaking anywhere:wub:

Researching and Implementing a launcher by looking at a more or less locked black box takes time, a lot of time and effort and when i look at Heroic progress is slow (but steady). I see lots of people asking for new platforms to be supported but the current ones aren't even done. No social stuff, no playtime tracking no achievements and just a couple of people.

While i'd love to have a swiss army knife, the one to rule them all launcher, without a huge increase in people that actually do the work, i don't see this happen anytime soon ;)

I wonder how difficult it would be to use Linux on this device.
I am sure people will bring steam OS to it eventually.

Cartridges is another Linux game launcher and it's super-clean

I wonder why I should choose this one over the others?
A comparison table might make sense in the future.
