lug-helper v2.18

Improvements & Fixes

• Back up and restore custom characters when deleting user directories
• Support new user directory path names in LIVE 3.23
• Support clearing out Vulkan shaders in addition to dx11 shaders
• The global EAC workaround option has been removed

Thanks to @mactan-sc for contributing to this release!

lug-helper v2.17

• Add Kron4ek wine runner source
• Environment variables to support Open Wine Components umu proton in Lutris 5.17+
• NVIDIA and AMD Environment variables for Star Citizen Vulkan renderer
• Remove un-needed winetricks steps and DLL overrides

lug-helper v2.16

Improvements & Fixes

• New EAC workaround: We now use the EOS_USE_ANTICHEATCLIENTNULL environment variable to disable EAC. SteamGameId and other workarounds are no longer necessary. The EAC directories no longer have to be deleted either.
• Fix for integer errors when running the Preflight Check on systems with very low amounts of RAM
• Removed some outdated Runners and DXVKs
• Prefer System Libraries now defaults to true for new installs

lug-helper v2.15

Improvements & Fixes

• Lutris is noisy and prints an increasing number of warnings when invoked. We can discard those when looking up its version info during the Preflight Check
• When in non-GUI mode, the Helper no longer pauses for a keypress when functions are invoked via command line arguments; it just does the thing and then exits

lug-helper v2.14

"First Run" User Experience!

• On first run, the script now offers the user the option of running the preflight check and installing the game in one fell swoop!

Other Changes

• Restored the bundled lutris installer json file for easier version control and stuffed it under a new lib directory
• The tmp directory used by the Helper has been renamed to clarify that it belongs to the Helper
• Added the wiki URL to the main menu
• Moved the global EAC workaround to the Maintenance menu
