Garlic Crab

What's new

General

• The launch time of the application has been improved. Cover images are now
  loaded after Rare has been started.
• Operations that require a long time to complete are now displayed at the
  bottom of the window. At this moment those are verifying a game and moving
  a game to another folder.
• Discover if an Origin game has been installed instead of assuming it is.
• Use custom square images for desktop shortcuts based on the game's cover image.

Library

• The library design has been updated for both card and list layouts.
• Status information is now displayed on each game, such as Running,
  Verification required, Downloading, Verifying etc.
• The progress of certain operations is shown on each game cover.

Downloads

• The downloads tab has been redesigned to fit the rest of the UI.
• Downloads can be prepared and put into a queue if there is another active
  download. The queue can be re-ordered.
• Downloads can now be "paused". Paused downloads are put at the front of
  queue. "Pausing" a download doesn't start the next one automatically.
  This is intentional.
• Downloads in the queue will be prepared again before starting them, to
  make sure they are up-to-date.
• A queued download can be force-started with the Download now button,
  replacing the active one. The active one goes at the end of the queue.
• Download-less DLCs can now be updated. The handling is experimental.
  If you encounter issues, feel free to report them.

Settings

• The per-game environment variables editor now also contains the globally
  defined environment variables, allowing for quick access to the
  configuration. Editing a globally defined environment variable will
  make the re-definition per-game.

Cloud Saves

• Cloud Save handling has been updated. Now you can find the cloud save
  synchronization page in the game settings.
• The game launcher process will also offer to download saves when a game
  is launched. It will also offer to upload them after the game exits.

Bug fixes

• Properly populate .egstore folder to properly detect what version of the
  game is being imported.
• Cleanup sockets when receiving SIGINT, SIGTERM in launcher.
• Check if mangohud is installed before enabling it, disable it if it has been
  uninstalled.
• Improve exception handling by showing a dialog, even when the exception happened
  in a thread.
• Improve desktop shortcut creation and handling.
