Heroic Games Launcher v2.22.4 Hotfix 4 Addresses GOG Login, Adds ARM64 Flatpak Support

Heroic Games Launcher recently released v2.22.4 Hotfix 4, addressing critical issues affecting users. The update primarily fixes problems with GOG login due to Cloudflare checks, achieved by unsetting a custom user agent. It also resolves issues related to the Universal Mod Updater (UMU) when running native games. A significant addition for a subset of users is the new support for building ARM64 Flatpaks, expanding the launcher's compatibility to ARM-based Linux systems. This hotfix also includes a change to prevent the launcher from attempting to chmod native Linux or macOS binaries upon exit. The release announcement describes it as a "Small hotfix to fix the GOG Login and UMU issue."
