Ubuntu Summit 2024 highlights - Linux gaming talks on UMU and Heroic Launcher
29 October 2024 at 3:51 pm UTC

Nice work.
This AntiCheat business is annoying but the work still makes a nice and fast launcher possible for Windows users as a side-effect.
Hopefully we will see Maxima in action soon as the same developers work on a private server launcher for Starwars Battlefront 2 and that release has been postponed a few times :)

There are many fans of Nintendo games that keep their favourite franchises alive and instead of hiring them and patting them on the shoulder for a job well done, Nintendo strikes them with a DCMA TakeDown request.
It is sad to see.

The plan of PlayTr0nOS is indeed cooperations with publishers.
I wonder though what EpicGames would require from a mostly opensource platform to allow games like Fortnite.

I would say the "locked to valve" is a simplification for "using anything else isn't as straightforward as using steam". Other stores require decky loader to do it and still aren't as well integrated into the GUI as steam is.
Playtron makes this look a lot better.

I am still waiting for cross platform cooperative play with friends on the PlayStation.
So no new game until they keep the promise for the second part of the series. "We look into it" is too vague and they need to have the guts to say they won't do it

You could have an additional toggle to switch between DC and original story line like you can switch on the old resolution and textures by pressing a key.
Would be sad to not have all content in 4k resolution.

Quoting: pbBetter remake parts 3 and 4 IMO. But hopefully they will get to that, too.
It probably comes down to money.
If they sell enough they can expand the process of mixing ai and human work to the other parts of the series.

I like to see a consistent series with high resolution and modern interface across all parts too.

Heroic Games Launcher v2.15 has expanded GOG support, EA games from Epic Store support
13 August 2024 at 5:11 pm UTC

Quoting: dziadulewiczThere is also a DEB package for Ubuntu but it is hard to find through the website. Flatpak is not installed on Ubuntu by default.

Deb-get is a good addition for things that don't have a ppa

Open Source implementation of GOG Galaxy's Communication Service, Comet sees a first release

Quoting: RaulKong898I would like a simplified tutorial because I can't understand from GitHub how to install and use Comet on Linux Fedora Workstation with x64.
The next release of Heroic will be created with Comet support https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/pull/3727
Maybe it is easier to wait for that?
