Features

• Added option to close to Tray icon #103
• Warning before closing when there are remaining downloads, updates, etc. #104

Known bugs

• Since version 1.2.0, when downloading big games while Heroic is on the tray can lead to the process being stopped. So, to download big games like GTA V, is better to keep Heroic visible.
• Is recommended to remove the folder .config/heroic/tools/DXVK and restart heroic in case you get some errors when installing DXVK.
• As in the previous version, if a game doesn't want to launch, try going to settings and changing the proton/wine version to update the settings due to some internal name changes.

1.0 'Enel'

So, after a few weeks of work, we reached our first Milestone 1.0. And yes, this is a Major version because I don't consider it just an MVP anymore, since it has most of the features that I wanted to include since the project started.

Now the next step is to figure out how to distribute the app on the official repositories of the main distros, I do appreciate it if someone can help us with that :D

Thanks for all the support we got from the Linux community!
Thanks @octoshrimpy for the help with the design as well.

Changelog and a few Screenshots:

• Completely changed the design based on the UX research we did
• Added Global and per Game Settings page to configure default wine (or proton), wine prefix, and launch options.
• Option to install the game on a default path(configurable), custom path, or import an already installed game.
• No need for Xterm anymore, all installation feedback is on the installation page now.
• Login screen redone
• Better menus for log out and refresh library
• Option to filter only installed games.
• Possibility to stop the installation
• Possibility to stop a running game
• Added Game description
• Several bugfixes
• Heroic creates a default config folder in $HOME/.config/heroic/config.json
• Both Game configs and Launch logs are saved for the debugging process in the config folder /GamesConfig

Bugs/Limitations:

• Right now the proton and wine version comes only from what is in the compatibilitytools.d folder for Steam and for Lutris it comes from .local/share/lutris/runners/wine. This will be fixed on the next release.
• It is possible to fix this creating a symlink like this: ln -s $HOME/.steam/root/steamapps/common/Proton\ 5.0/ $HOME/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d/
• Sometimes the library is not updated after installing/uninstalling a game. Just use the Refresh Library button under your userName.
• Just noticed that changing the default installation path is not working, it keeps installing in ~/Games/Heroic. I'll send a fix soon.
