Heroic Games Launcher 2.20.1 Hotfix Addresses Python Errors, Improves Compatibility

Heroic Games Launcher recently released version 2.20.1, codenamed "Pythagoras Hotfix #1". This update primarily addresses an issue where some users experienced "harmless but scary python logs" appearing as spurious error dialogs. The hotfix also improves compatibility for Epic Games titles when running on older Python 3 versions, though the developers recommend upgrading to Python 3.12 or newer for optimal performance and to avoid potential issues, especially concerning GOG store integration. Minor backend and UI fixes were also included, such as adjusting the update badge display on game cards and a fix related to DXVK for macOS.
