2.19.1

13 hours ago

Hi!

After releasing the 2.19 version yesterday we started receiving reports of some people on Linux with some issues when lanching their games. This was due to an issue with conflicting libraries used when building Legendary and GOGDL that affected some Linux distros. This new release should fix that issue.

If you find any other issue please let us know on Github or Discord.

Also, on Linux, the ideal way to use Heroic is through Flathub. This is because it is a more reproducible and controllable way for everyone to test since the flatpak won't depend on system libraries directly.

v2.19.0 changelog

Highlights

  • Added experimental integration for games from the Zoom platform, Linux only for now. Next release we will bring it to the others.
  • macOS - Added support for DXMT -M chips only- (Install a version of Wine-Staging and 2 variants will appear, it only applies to new Wine-Staging installations, so if you want the DXMT variant of a version you already have installed, reinstall it)
  • Added new Launch Options setting for games that supports it.
  • Added Import button to the game page so its easier to find it.
  • Added some Sync-Saves options to the Game page as well.
  • macOS - Removed the ability to install Steam with a button since it is not working anymore, we are investigating other ways of automate that, but for now we preferred to remove it.
  • Cleaned up several options that are not relevant for Linux and macOS anymore.
  • Improved gamepad navigation in general
  • Linux - Added initial support for AppImage auto-update.
  • Windows - both the Setup and Portable versions are signed with certificate now.
  • Updated Electron to v39
  • Updated gogdl and legendary with fixes for a few bugs related with game listing, updates and more.
  • Linux - The DXVK Frame Rate option was removed since it was removed from DXVK completely and it was not doing anything already (it's still available on macOS)
  • Added Irish translations
  • Accessibility - Added an option to disable all animations
  • Several other fixes and improvements.
