Heroic Games Launcher 2.18 adds GE-Proton prioritisation, improved UI navigation and new analytics

A smaller update to the Heroic Games Launcher for running games from Epic, GOG and Amazon on Linux / SteamOS and Steam Deck arrived with v2.18.0.

Included with this release along with several improvements is their new opt-in analytics system. It uses Plausible Analytics, which is open source and privacy focused where “All data is 100% anonymous and it serves only to have an idea of the number of users across the different operating systems we support” so they know where to focus for updates.

The main changes:

• [Linux] Prioritize GE-Proton Versions and adds a setting to show/hide non-GE version on Wine List.
• [UX] Several improvements to Joystick and Keyboard navigation.
• [UX] Adds a new option to launch games with or without logs from the game page.
• [macOS] Adds Wine-Staging back to Wine Manager and Fix an issue with picking up the wrong wine binary when using GPTK.
• [General] Adds Opt-in Anonymous analytics.
• Several other fixes and improvements.
