How can Hydra Launcher improve?

Do you have an interesting idea to be implemented in Hydra? Would you like to report a bug? Share it with others and directly with the project developers through this board.

Some ideas that could improve the experience in my opinnion

A page similar to steam workshop with mods. Mods could be added from different sources, similar to how the download sources work but most importantly, the ability to download files from the steam workshop would be the ultimate achievement. Having a built in mod managger that could auto update mods and other addons would be a huge step forward to really bring the experinece close to as if the user actually owned the game. Plugin support with a webstore similar to how the appearance settings work. Ingame overlay similar to steam’s Probably an own patching method that could replace the need for running steam if you want to play online cracked A whole library page, not just a list on the left, and the ability to choose which page to load to when starting the launcher

Hydra Input - Utilização de gamepad para jogos que não tem compatibilidade base

Tenha uma fonte vasta de configs com inputs para cada jogo, como a Steam faz com Inputs criados pela comunidade e oficialmente pelos desenvolvedores do jogo, usando essas configurações, conecte seu controle via Bluetooth ou via cabo e faça o Hydra identificar o controle para usar a configuração para determinar as ações do jogador.

Personalização da Arte da Capa dos jogos, e opção de recorte para a o banner utilizado no perfil

Duas pequenas mudanças em Quality of Life, que agregariam demais na experiência dos usuários. A primeira, é a opção de carregar imagens personalizadas para as Artes de Capa dos Jogos, que por vezes, ficam até mesmo bugadas, e sequer exibem algum material, como na imagem que irei anexar. Outra sugestão, é a possibilidade de recortar a foto do banner carregado no perfil. Tive muitas dores de cabeça em encontrar uma imagem razoável para utilizar de banner, já que todas as que tentei carregar, ficaram em proporções horríveis. Se não fosse possível realizar esta sugestão, que ao menos informassem um tamanho recomendado para fotos do banner.

Jogos que possuem mecânica de conquista funcional poderiam ter tag de identificação nas Opções de Download.

Estou jogando o Clair Obscur e notei que, enquanto estou na campanha, minhas conquistas não estão sendo ativadas. Conversando com o suporte, nos informou que, dependendo da fonte de download, a função de conquista pode ou não funcionar. Seria uma boa ideia, na aba opções de download, ter uma tag informando se as conquistas estão funcionais nessa fonte, parecido com a que tem para a função de “última opção baixada”.

integration with steam proton / proton ge

Integrating the Proton official Steam version or the Proton GE edition with Hydra significantly extends compatibility and offers much more stability compared to traditional Wine prefixes. Proton includes specific fixes for DirectX and Vulkan and receives continuous improvements from Valve. The Proton GE edition adds extra community patches that allow you to run more recent games without crashes or graphic artifacts that sometimes happen in pure Wine. When you start a game from Hydra using Proton, you no longer need to create prefixes manually or set up complex scripts. Simply choose the title from the library and Hydra automatically adjusts the most suitable Proton version, loads all the necessary libraries and isolates the specific settings for each game. This creates a much smoother flow of use, with less dependence on terminal commands and much more time dedicated to the game itself. Hydra also automatically monitors game hours via the Proton API or the Steam client whenever it is running. When the title offers achievements, the Hydra interface displays each one, allowing you to track progress without having to open another program. This gives you a single dashboard with statistics for all your games. Finally, everything you earn and save is protected by HydraCloud. Save files are synchronized as soon as the game is closed, ensuring that you can resume the game on another machine without losing any of your progress. This combination of extended compatibility, automated configuration, metrics tracking and cloud backup makes Hydra the ultimate hub for those who want to play Linux games with practicality and security.

Feedback

Extremely necessary QoL change in game description UI

I would like the "Achievements", "Stats", "HowLongToBeat" and "System requirements" buttons to remember their state (hidden or revealed) for each game separately or for all at the same time. I hope someone will add such a small but super-necessary function. Currently, they’re always open, and it annoys me so much. I don’t really want to know how fast people beat the game or how many people’ve added it into the library/downloaded it.
