Hi!

This Hotfix should address some issues some people are having with Heroic randomly showing error dialogs that are not really errors just some harmless but scary python logs.
It should also make Heroic compatible (at least for Epic games) with old version of python3, even though we added support for it we believe everyone should upgrade their Python version to version 3.12 or newer to avoid other issues especially with the GOG runner.

Besides those, there are a few more backend and UI fixes as you can see bellow:
