Quoting: CalinouEA app isn't DRM-free (just like Ubisoft Connect). This means Heroic developers would have to bypass it somehow, which is unlikely to happen for many reasons.

What does DRM mean other than the game, launcher and Webservers talk with one another to see if you own the game and are allowed to start it?
It does not have to be bypassed, as that would be piracy, it has to be replicated like login and downloading.
Never do anything the original wouldn't do or you are getting into trouble with their owners, like ea in this case.

Remember HeroicLauncher Meme [External Link] ?



Maybe they can get it done in time?

Query Multiple Objects in Ntdll, it can become quite spammy.

Battle.net crashing would be nice to see fixed.

Crossplay sounds good.
But i guess ps4 won't get it.

It would be cool if third party platforms could hook deep in steam OS and show their shop and game library directly instead of only adding shortcuts.
Having them es external apps feels a bit clunky, be it ea, ubi, bnet, Lutris, emudeck or heroic.

I never had a problem with the good binary drivers NVIDIA provided.
It was just a bit sad that you couldn't try experiments like the gallium-nine driver because NVIDIA didn't adhere to standards.
Maybe with the new approach we won't have these problems in the future. Although i doubt that anyone will do a directX or OpenGL driver without Vulkan anymore^^

would have been nice to have a proper battle.net fix for the cef crash.

Quoting: Pengling

Quoting: GuestIt seems Bnet has been breaking fairly often as of late. It's a shame since I remember it being one of the more reliable ones in WINE;

I'm not too surprised, honestly, since they're Microsoft-owned now. :dizzy:

Wine blames CEF, the chromium embedded framework. Sounds like it isn't necessarily Microsoft at work here but just a Chromium Framework <-> wine incompatibility.

With every release a little bit more works and i should do my periodic Mafia 3 test to see if it lost its black textures already when not using VKD3D and DXVK as translation layers :whistle:

What do you mean by web/electron support?
You can watch Netflix and Disney within Heroic and it is build on this framework.
