Previously, when launching games using Apple's new Game Porting Toolkit, Heroic would launch by finding GPTK's copy of wine. This would cause file explorer to open instead of the game (as stated in #2832 and #2858).
With this fix, heroic uses the "gameportingtoolkit" executable to launch games, apps, and all wine commands (except for winetricks).
Use the following Checklist if you have changed something on the Backend or Frontend:
I've been able to run a few games using the Game Porting Toolkit, and have had no issues with running winecfg, winetricks, or installing, moving, verifying, and uninstalling games.
I have however noticed that many games do not work with the Game Porting Toolkit, although this is most likely a compatibility issue between the games and the toolkit (I've had trouble running many UE4/5 games).
