  • The pkgbuild is hosted at https://github.com/FabioLolix/PKGBUILD-AUR_fix

  • Upstream isn't interested with problems with heroic-games-launcher or heroic-games-launcher-git so don't report them right away; retry with heroic-games-launcher-bin

Note to self, check electron version https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/releases

I think it might be possible to list Wine, Proton, GameMode, and MangoHud as optional dependencies in the PKGBUILD. The launcher could then utilize these packages if they are installed on the system.

is there a need for the npm make dependency? it is listed as requirement but isnt used in the PKGBUILD

This package now requires nodjs-lts-jod which conflicts with system nodejs 25.9.0-1

@FabioLolix: Upstream is using Electron 41 now.

When this application gets an update please check what electron version it uses, Heroic is now on electron39

@FabioLolix: Yes, I realized they were included for a reason after I posted that comment last year. I guess I forgot to mention that later on.

@yochananmarqos

Either way, there's no reason to ship Windows binaries.

Apparently there is https://github.com/chaotic-aur/packages/issues/3925#issuecomment-3475901553

It is, as the devs call it, a "fake exe" that helps the rockstar launcher to check its drm on third party stores

btw I have asked to the developer what was the purpose of that be never got a response like the other times

@FabioLolix: 2.18.0 builds just fine with Node.js 22. ;)
