Amazon Games support is coming soon to Heroic Games Launcher

Quoting: imLinguinFunny that nobody noticed two games with Baldur's Gate II images
It's Amazon's error though, still funny.
They are not exactly the same! The left one says Baldur's Gate II / Baldur's Gate II however the right one says Baldur's Gate II / Baldur's Gate (without II). The bottom subtitles saying "Enhanced Edition" are also slightly different in each of those pictures.

(I am nitpicking just for fun, Amazon's mistake is clear).

Quoting: datablobHi! Solo indie developer behind Black Dragon Mage here.

Thank you for covering the game! Excited to hear what people think about the upcoming demo.
By the way, since people have been asking me on social media, I just wanted to note that 16:10 support (incl. the native 1280x800px resolution of the Steam Deck) will be there at launch!

ProtonUp-Qt v2.8.1 improves Heroic Games Launcher support

Quoting: EriI've been trying to run Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 from EGS on Heroic Launcher for a year, using a lot of different versions of Proton GE. The farthest it goes is playing the video intro with RATM music, after that it freezes. Does anyone knows a specific version that works or maybe a workaround?
There are reports of people running it with: Proton-6.3, Proton-GE-7, and latest Proton Experimental.

The specific version that pops up in people's reports is Proton-6.3.
