A big release for the Heroic Games Launcher team is here, version 2.15.0 is now available with some necessary bug fixes and some big new features to help you bring all your games to Steam Deck and Desktop Linux. Four months after the last release, this has been in the works for some time!
The following has changed:
- Added support for EA games from the Epic Games Store
- Fixed issues downloading Amazon Games
- (Legacy) DRM support added for Amazon games – Devil May Cry 1 is now playable
- Revamping the rich presence in Discord
- (Linux) Experimental Umu launcher support (disabled by default up to version 1.x)
- (Linux) Experimental Comet support – enables GOG achievements and multiplayer
- (Linux) It is now possible to install and uninstall DLC for native Linux games.
- (macOS) GPTK (Gaming Port Toolkit) is now available for download from Wine Manager (works better with Apple Silicon and with macOS Sonoma or later).
- Numerous other improvements and bug fixes around Heroic
Once again they are doing what other companies are not doing. The GOG improvement with Comet is a big deal, especially for Linux, as it brings us closer to the features available through GOG Galaxy. Once umu is properly done, that will be another great thing, so we get the best possible compatibility when running games through Proton in Heroic. So I’m looking forward to seeing that progress.
A quick follow-up version v.2.15.1 was also released to resolve some issues:
