Heroic fails to launch LOCAL games after 2.13.0 update.

Just updated today and now my games don't launch local games anymore. any way to roll back or fix? Thanks! I click play, it says launching, palying and goes back to what it was before. I tried "installing" it to heroic again to make sure the path was correct, also made it shorter in the process because it was quite big. sadly, didn't work.

ah i see... well dang, i couldn't manage to use the build from the pr, i'm a noob, don't know how to download the build from there lol. but thats fine, i can still launch the games from the shortcuts i set up on the desktop, i just kinda got used to the awesome UI on heroic, especially when it gets a very cool cover based on what i type. Thanks for the reply either way, i gtg sleep now!

You can download a portable Windows version of that build from here (scroll down to "Artifacts")
