Heroic 2.15.0 "Emeth"

Hi!

It has been 4 months since Heroic's last release, which is the longest time we've ever had between releases. Several reasons combined caused this long wait, but our team never stopped working on Heroic. As such, this release comes packed with new features and fixes.

The number of changes is huge so here are the main highlights:

What's Changed

• Added support for EA games from Epic Games Store
• Fixed issues with downloading from Amazon Games
• Added (legacy) DRM support for Amazon Games - Devil May Cry 1 is now playable
• Discord rich presence overhaul
• [Linux] Experimental umu-launcher support (disabled by default until 1.x release)
• [Linux] Experimental comet support - enabling 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 to download from Wine Manager (Works better with Apple Silicon and with macOS Sonoma or higher).
• Several other improvements and fixes all around Heroic
