Heroic Games Launcher: version 2.22.2 released

The Heroic Games Launcher has been released as Hotfix #2 in version 2.22.2.

Heroic Games Launcher is a free, open-source alternative to the Epic Games Store and GOG Galaxy for managing and launching games on Linux. This hotfix mainly fixes issues with Rockstar and Ubisoft games that surfaced after the previous release.

This hotfix addresses issues identified following the previous release, particularly targeting problems with Rockstar and Ubisoft games, along with several other improvements.

Key changes include: fixed heroic executable path searching functionality, removed legacy Snap support remnants, implemented UMU for Steam Runtime delivery with automatic enablement for native GOG titles, corrected LEGENDARY_CONFIG_PATH configuration, added default CrossOver path support on macOS, updated Legendary to version 0.21.1, enhanced log file handling to read only the last 1MB, prevented games from being moved into themselves, fixed sideload installer Wine prefix conflicts, improved Steam shortcut management via SteamClient API, and corrected the GOG Galaxy registry key to prevent Steam wrapper crashes.

The release included contributions from 12 team members, with 5 new contributors joining the project.
