HI!
After 1.5 months and tons of commits, we have a new beta for Heroic (finally!). This one I would say is one of the most exciting releases we have ever had since it brings tons of new features that were requested by the community for a long time like a:
Besides that, we have a new Legendary version, several fixes for the UI, and performance improvements as well.
Of course, with so many changes you can expect bugs (not many though). Ideally, you should at least clear Heroic Cache after updating to this beta to avoid a few of those.

Hello!
This is one last fix for the stable version while we prepare the next release which will be done pretty soon.
If you want a stable experience instead of the new exciting features of the beta then this is for you.
This release fixes some issues with games that use Selective Download (Fortinite, Cyberpunk, and others), fix an issue with the Epic login that was stuck in a screen showing the SID sometimes, fixes some issues when using Environment Variables on Linux, removes duplicate theme selector and other fixes. Also updated Electron to v19 and Legendary to the latest v0.20.27.

Hi!
While the beta has several amazing new features that you should try, we are also updating our stable version with fixes for GOG games that uses DosBox and ScummVM. This will increase the compatibility of these games by a lot since now Heroic proper handle the config files for those.
Full Changelog: https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/compare/v2.3.8...v2.3.9
Published by flavioislima over 2 years ago
Hello!
This is the first beta for the next stable release and already brings several new features and improvements.
In summary, we have design changes, the current download/update will be shown on the sidebar all the time, even if you leave the library and go to the store or settings, etc; the game library was overhauled and now the game cards will show the game title all the time as well the buttons for play, settings, and update (if any).
This is probably a change that some people won't like but this is good for accessibility and we know some games don't show the name on the cover. But let's wait for the feedback.
Besides that, now we have a unified library with all games from GOG and Epic if you have logged in to both.
A favorites button to show only the favorites, an auto-complete feature for the search, and more!

HI!
A new hotfix for Heroic stable while we are working on new features for the next Beta.

Published by flavioislima over 2 years ago
This is another small release that have a few fixes and improvements.
The first improvement is that now the Search in the library will find the title even if you write it wrong or forget any special character that the title had. Before, the title needed to be exact, otherwise Heroic would not find it.
It also fixes the missing progress when installing and updating and also shows a message on Linux in case ZSTD is not available in the system.

Hi!
In this new release, we worked on fixing small issues, especially on the SteamDeck/Flatpak and macOS, but also introduces some small and nice features:
--no-gui
that opens Heroic with no user interface. Might get in handy to create some scripts or add a Heroic game on other launchers. Basically, you just need to call heroic --no-gui heroic://launch/{appName}

Hello!
This is the first Hotfix for the latest release.
This Addresses 2 Issues we found after releasing 2.3.0
Published by flavioislima over 2 years ago
Hello!
After more than two months Heroic reaches version 2.3.0 Brook, the new Stable version for all platforms.
And this is one of our biggest releases ever, bringing several new features, improvements and, of course, fixes and more stability.
One of the most requested features since Heroic started is now live and Heroic now comes with 5 built-in themes and some of them with other variations. Ofc the Infamous Dracula Theme is available :D
Another feature that was requested long ago, was the ability to install Windows versions of a native game since some of them runs better under Wine/Proton then the native one, that sometimes requires some outdated libs.
This feature is available for Epic Games and GOG on macOS and for GOG on Linux, since there is no native games for Linux on Epic games as of now.
From now on, if you are using Heroic on Windows (installed) or AppImage on Linux, when a new stable version is released, Heroic will tell you that there is a new version and will download it in the background. After restarting Herioc it will be on latest version :)
Now it is possible to organize your libraries by adding favorites or even hide games that you have already finished or don't want to play at all.
A new setting was also added for you to choose what to show on the highlight row on the library. Now you can choose to show Favorites, recent played games or even don't show anything if you would like.
Since version 2.0 we have focused on make Heroic easy to use for people with visual impairments and on version 2.3 we are adding a screen with a few options to help even more with that and bring Heroic and gaming to even more people.
It is possible to Zoom the interface and select alternative fonts for now. New high contrast themes will be added soon as well.
Besides the features above, other UI/UX improvements were added, for example:
- It is now possible to order the game list alphabetically or by installed status
- When installing, Heroic will show how much space left there is on the device that you selected to install the game
Several other improvements were made on the UI of Heroic to make it more consistent
Behind the scenes a lot of things happened on Heroic as well. A lot of refactoring tech stack updates, etc.
There were dozens of bugs fixed since 2.2.6. Would be hard to sumarize them all but lets try to put some of them here:
[macOS]: Fixed Progress bar not working
[General]: Fixed an issue where sometimes the recently played games were showing duplicates.
[Linux]: Fix and issue where Heroic was becoming blank after navigating out of the Wine Manager.
[macOS]: Fixed an issue where Heroic was failing without a message when there was no space left on the device.
[General]: Filter was being reset after getting out of the library or refreshing it.
Several others fixes...
And that's it!
Great thanks as always to all our contributors being code or translations, especially @arielj, @imLinguin, @Nocccer, and @CommandMC.
Special Thanks to all our supporters on Patreon, Ko-fi, and Github sponsors! :D
