Windows games in the 'other' category don't launch at all.

[cosmopock]

Describe the bug

After the latest update of Heroic Launcher, my games stopped working, and I received a Windows Defender alert about Trojan:Win32/Phonzy.B!ml located in the file: C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Programs\heroic\resources\app.asar.unpacked\build\bin\win32\gogdl.exe. Every other store Epic , Amazon, GOG works.

You can use the build from this PR https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/pull/3562 until a new release is done with that fix

[arielj]

Windows defender flagging the binary is a false positive (it's unrelated to the other games not working)

THX for the reply but i'm too stupid for the solution sorry. I'm not a Programmer

[arielj]

You have to go here https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/actions/runs/7886383579?pr=3562 and scroll down. There's an Artifacts section and click on win-portable, this will download the portable version of Heroic for windows. You can then unzip it and run it from there until the next release.

I understand this was fixed in one of the latest relases (I think 2.14.0). Closing
