@robindegen this is heroic-games-launcher
not heroic-games-launcher-bin
anewson commented on 2025-02-26 16:12 (UTC)
newer electron version are not fully backwards compatible; heroic is currently using electron31, using electron34 introduced this bug: https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/issues/4357
using the binary package resolves this
