2.12.0 'Vegapunk'
HI!
We are glad to announce a new Heroic version. This one includes a lot of fixes, improvements and new features.
It goes from adding support for Whisky GPTK on macOS, to UI improvements to the filters, auto installing of the Epic Overlay, automatic installation of fixes with Winetricks (enable this in Settings > Advanced > Experimental Features) and redistributables (for Epic games) which will increase the compatibility with several windows games on Linux and macOS.
Fixes and issues on macOS when using Crossover with GOG and Amazon games, also add several improvements to the navigation when using the joystick.
It is now possible to see the game release date and genres on the Game Page.

Damit sollten etliche Spiele von Haus aus besser funktionieren ohne das händisch Komponenten nachinstalliert werden müssen.

Heroic wurde von GoG mit einem Affiliate Link geadelt.
Ist zwar noch immer kein GalaxyClient auf Linux aber immerhin

• Version rollback for Windows and Mac builds *
• Ability to view changelogs on the game page
• REDMod integration for Cyberpunk 2077

(*) Works on Linux when installing Windows games, but not for Linux builds since it is not supported by GOG.

Lange hat es gedauert aber verbesserte Unterstützung für Sprachen & DLCs sowie die Standard mäßige Installation von Abhängigkeiten dürfte die Zahl der Support-Anfragen deutlich senken
