ChatLauncher 2.0.0-beta.3

Additions
  • Added “Launcher Presets” where you’re able to define specific settings to be applied before the game starts.
  • Presets are divided into the base game and the beta version.
  • Currently you can set the world builder colors through presets. If more settings are requested they will be added if possible..
  • The design of the preset page is still a little work in progress, but it is functional. Future versions will improve it further.
  • Added a 3DXChat setting to let you choose the screen resolution.
  • Added the new setting “GTAO” to anti-aliasing in the game settings.
  • Added the new setting “GTAO Quality” to customize in the game settings.
Improvements
  • Downloading games or patches now shows the speed of how fast it’s going on.
  • Consolidated and simplified the advanced “…” menu button.
  • This now also includes three new buttons to clear the cache, the configuration or all of the game’s data for a complete reset.
  • Reworked how the settings work and made them more efficient.
  • Reworked the game download logic to be more efficient and reliable.
  • Small scale improvements regarding general performance and stability.
  • The launcher now saves your desired window size on shutdown and restores it on startup.
  • Your storage capacity matters, that’s why we delete all log files older than 7 days ourselves now.
Fixes
  • 3DX Server Status now shows the correct icon when the Overall Status is offline.
  • 3DXChat’s 3.2 new ‘Chat History’ is now preserved instead of cleared when you clear the cache – sorry for that. It still is being cleared when you uninstall the game.
  • The launch button of the beta version will now be shown greyed out again after the install has been cancelled.
  • Update notifications of the games work again.
  • You can’t uninstall the game now when it’s running – why’d you even do that at all?
  • Numerous smaller bug fixes in the unsupported sections of the launcher.
