Heroic Games Launcher for GOG and Epic Games v2.5.0 Beta 3 out now
27 Nov 2022 at 2:58 pm UTC

Quoting: PlintslîchoI was wondering if it is possible to only download games and don't have them installed automatically.
Heroic and its gogdl doesn't use the standalone installers but downloads the game files directly.
You want something like https://github.com/Kalanyr/gogrepoc [External Link] or MiniGalaxy.

Quoting: pbGotta love the naming of these OSS alternatives. :wub:
You can't use the same name or the publisher might get angry but there still needs to be some kind of hint what the application should be used for :)

My current little wish-list for Steam Deck upgrades

I think allowing third party launchers to integrate better with Steams UI would be a nice "third party app" feature , Heroic or UbiConnect instead of Chrome would be a lot nicer.

Or a firefox browser that can be more easily controlled with a controller.

Blizzard don't officially support Steam Deck / Linux but they still fix issues for it

I think having a native Linux version of Battle.net that uses Proton to start their games like Steam does it, would be fine.
Having their games eventually move to Vulkan and become easier to port to Linux would of course be even better.
I can imagine Hearthstone being a nice addition to a portable computer like the steamdeck :)

Quoting: TermyI wouldn't be surprised if those changes are really intended to frustrate devs of alternate clients tbh...
Breaking their own cdn backend probably isn't done on purpose. The epic launcher had issues too :D

Steam Deck 2 is absolutely coming, new booklet from Valve confirms

Quoting: TheRiddickNext year away! This isn't traditional console. And RDNA3 4nm APU's will definitely be available to Valve sometime next year.
Is the difference on the CPU and GPU side big enough though?
Hardware development slows down over the years so the differences between two generations become smaller as well.
