Heroic Games Launcher has released version 2.22.4, addressing critical issues with GOG login and UMU launch problems. The GOG login fix was essential as it previously disabled library syncing, cloud saves, and store access, while the UMU fix ensures native Linux games are not incorrectly routed through Proton/UMU. This hotfix also includes ARM64 Flatpak build support, prevents Heroic from modifying native binaries on exit, and adds language translation updates. The release marks the end of a tumultuous 2.22 series and sets the stage for future enhancements that will improve integration with itch.io, Humble Bundle, and Steam

Heroic Games Launcher 2.22.4 Fixes Broken GOG Login and UMU Launch Issues

Heroic Games Launcher released version 2.22.4 today, a terse little hotfix that resolves two real headaches: a broken GOG login triggered by GOG's Cloudflare anti-bot check, and native Linux games being silently rerouted through Proton/UMU. The GOG fix matters most, since a failed sign-in disables library syncing, cloud saves, and deal browsing for one of the launcher's three core stores. It also quietly adds ARM64 Flatpak build support, stops Heroic from chmod-ing native binaries on exit, and rolls in fresh translation updates across 40-plus languages. With these issues cleared, the release wraps up a rocky 2.22 series and clears the runway for Heroic's next major update, which is expected to deepen its itch.io, Humble Bundle, and Steam integrations.
