General

  • Improved Heroic performance by caching library information and making requests in the background. Making Heroic opening almost instantly and navigation more responsive.
  • Added Playtime tracker (nice to know how long you've been playing a game :P)
  • Remade Login Screen according to the new design.
  • When clicking install from the library, Heroic will show a window with the options to install or import the game.
  • Added better quality Tray Icons.
  • Added option to start Heroic minimized.
  • Changed the main theme to shades of blue.
  • Changed several UI elements like the Gamecard that now always shows the title, install, settings, and play buttons.
  • Changed the filter to be a list since it was growing in size.
  • Changed the position of the search bar to the header instead of the navbar.
  • It's not necessary to restart Heroic anymore after changing the Tray Icon color.
  • Several functions were refactored to improve Heroics performance and stability.
  • Running Heroic from the terminal should have even more logs now, great to debug.
  • Removed the ability to downloads several games at the same time since this was causing some of them to appear as not installed (will evolve to a Queue at some point).
  • Moved some settings from General to Other.
  • Linux: Added FSR Hack toggle and Sharpness strength to Wine settings (needs support in wine).
  • Linux: Added resizable bar toggle to Wine settings (needs support in wine and NVIDIA RTX to work).
  • Linux/OSX: Added Wine and Prefix information on the game page.

Bugfixes

  • Fixed a small bug where the search bar was not keeping the correct state.
  • Fixed some game info caching that wasn't working.
  • Fixed a bug where the game information cache wasn't being updated after changing Heroic's language.
  • Windows: Fixed a major bug that caused Heroic to not open on some configurations.
  • Windows: Fixed clicking on the settings icon when using list view going to the Wine settings.
  • Windows: Fixed default install path using wrong slashes.

New Translations:

  • Portuguese (Brazil)
