Quoting: EhvisCombined game view! Yes! Now I really need the Amazon Games Store added to it. :happy:

I think Ubi or Origin would make more sense as they cooperate with Epic already.

Quoting: itsNottingcan someone please explain the hype about these launchers?
I mean, what is the advantage of using third party apps instead of just installing the native apps in steam?!
just for convenience?

If the handling of the original launchers is ok for you, do it that way.
I think the convenience is a big factor for normal people that just want to play their games.
Integration of games directly in the steam client is nice.

Outside a mobile handheld pc , you have one app to look at instead of many. Compared to epic heroic launches faster.
If more stores get integrated into Heroic, you can hopefully set priorities and bandwith accordingly in one place instead of having multiple apps fight over it.
The opportunities are endless to make it better than the original and custumize it to your needs, almost :)

Flatpaks update a bit later if i remember correctly.
Not always it is heroics fault if a game doesn't work, it could very well be one of the many cases where proton and wine as the emulation layer fail.
You should contact them , write a github issue, ask on their discord , supply a logfile.

Quoting: GuestIn fact, it just updated yesterday or today and the new version is even more broken than the last. Something about config files. (Config file is corrupted). I checked and there is a bug reported already and work is being done.

Try the post hotfix release 2.3.5 or an older one like 2.3.3.

What is your issue with gog games?
Sure it doesn't support achievements, social features or savegame sync yet but i wouldn't say Heroic is useless.

Is there still a reason why RADV and AMDVLK co exist and not one of them replaced the othe`?

Quoting: ShmerlWow, that's a big deal. Nouveau will get reclocking, after forever being stuck without it!

The Firmware for post Turing cards is not there yet to enable that.
The stuff they released is not complete yet and still out of tree.
Will take time to become useful.

Quoting: GuestThere was Cursebreaker, but thanks to Overwolf's changes that and other addon managers are left to die out in favor of their adware/spyware delivery monitization client.

The infrastructure and employees need to be paid for somehow.

Quoting: TheRiddickDoes this still need that legendary script engine or is it built in now?

Heroic still uses Legendary for interacting with the epicgames servers, but you don't have to install it yourself as it is shipped with Heroic.

Quoting: EhvisI'd rather have Amazon support since the Twitch App/Amazon Games App are a much bigger pain to deal with.

The foundation is built already. Similar to legendary, which implements the epic games api as cli tool, there is https://github.com/imLinguin/nile/ [External Link] which covers amazon games.
It is just not tied into the Heroic GUI yet and hasn't received the same amount of testing.

How did they implement SD Support?
I can't find the right commit and i haven't seen anything related to a controller driver in the linux ecosystem yet.
