1.2988.0

Changes since launcher 1.2838.0:

Features

• ✨ Discord Rich Presence support by @L-e-x-o-n
• Improved error handling:
  • Add dedicated message for full disk error.
  • Clear message in case engine gets deleted incorrectly by antivirus and cleanup with re-download after launcher restart.
• Switch to dark mode in update dialog.
• Add support for writing arbitrary JSON config files (like chobby_config.json) from dynamic configuration.

Fixes

• Broken dynamic config updates won't block further config updates. That could brick install.
• Launcher no longer flickers on Windows when starting engine.
• Update in launcher no longer shows installer window, preventing people from breaking their own installations accidentally.
• A few maintenance updates like updated dependencies, copyright info and new Windows code signing certificate.

1.2838.0

Changes since launcher 1.2470.0:

Features

• Added a launcher update dialog that contains release notes and allows users to postpone the update to a more convenient time.
• Log upload function will now also pick up the engine ClientGameState dumps that help in investigating desync issues.
• Added support for configurable links at the bottom of the launcher window. It now contains a link to our Privacy Policy.
• Rewrote the code that downloads engines and other large files to be more reliable in the case of transient issues (e.g., resuming an interrupted download) and to offer better error reporting.

Fixes

• Enabled the Happy Eyeballs feature that improves reliability of updates in the presence of network configuration issues (e.g., broken IPv6 stack, bad DNS entries).
• Resolved all identified launcher window styling issues on all platforms (Windows 10/11, Linux X11/Wayland):
  • Inconsistent window size and size changing incorrectly when toggling logs view
  • Bottom of the launcher cut off or contains too much padding
  • Too long time format and rounded edges in the logs view
• Fixed error logs from the renderer process not being forwarded to the log files.
• A bunch of internal improvements: simplified HTML and CSS, resolved all linting issues, updated dependencies.
