Collapse - 1.70.14 [Codename: Trailblazer]

Published by Cryotechnic over 1 year ago

Collapse 1.70.14: Trailblazer

Welcome to Collapse version 1.70.14 - Codename: Trailblazer! We packed a ton of new features that we thought you guys might enjoy, while also fixing lots of bugs and improving the overall launcher experience. We hope you enjoy using the launcher as much as we did making it!

Note: Due to the overwhelming amount of commits that are done to this repository (almost 400 since the last major patch), it is no longer possible for us to individually tag each commit to explain what they do. Should you feel inclined, feel free to peruse our commit history. Thank you for supporting Collapse!

What's New?

1.70.14

[Honkai Impact 3rd] Fixed Cache Update to detect "asb.dat" file as an "unused file"
[Honkai Impact 3rd] Fixed double slash while writing Verify.txt lines for Cache Update
[Honkai Impact 3rd] Fixed Game Repair causing redownload on the CG files in-game
[Honkai Impact 3rd] Fixed Game Repair not being able to detect CG file list
[Core] Removed unused CheckIntegrity code

1.70.13

Fix broken HI3 cache & game repair functionality
Adjust Honkai Cache changes to legacy property
Revert EncTool submodule to 3abb4a

1.70.12

Several bugfixes for installation management & update extraction functions
Hot fix for ApplyUpdate since Bitbucket mirror no longer works
Added Cloudflare R2 as a temporary alternative to Bitbucket mirror
Temporarily removed Bitbucket as a repository mirror

New Feature: Game Settings for Honkai: Star Rail

As with Honkai Impact 3rd, you can now adjust some game settings within Collapse, including Graphics Settings, setting a custom FPS (up to 120 FPS) value, and tweaking various audio settings. Keep in mind that this feature is still experimental and it might break the Game Settings menu in-game.

0c40f32 !

New Feature: Community Tools

After many requests from our community as well as interally, we are finally pleased to announce the implementation of a dedicated button for Community Tools. This allows the user to directly interact with those tools without having to leave Collapse, through the WebView2 library, courtesy of Microsoft. While we currently do not support user modification of those tools, should there be enough demand for it, we may choose to implement it in the future. Let us know by providing feedback through the official Collapse support channels.

New Feature: Playtime Tracking (Thanks @gablm !)

Another requested feature is the ability to track playtime. While Collapse will not be able to track the amount of time played prior to this update, rest assured that you can modify the time you have played in the game. Currently, the time played does not display in your Discord status.

New Feature: Discord RPC Integration

If you've somehow been stalking us, you may have seen Collapse show up as a supported game on Discord. We've been experimenting with the Discord SDK for quite a while now, but didn't want to add yet another feature to the 1.69.X release lifecycle, so we moved it to 1.70.0! You may have also noticed this feature being prominently displayed in the App Settings page, but it didn't work because we haven't enabled the feature yet, so here it is, in all its glory!

This feature comes toggled "Off" by default, but can be enabled by going into the App Settings and toggling "Show Discord Presence". An app restart is not required, but you may need to go back to the Launcher page for Discord to register Collapse properly.

Announcement: Official Collapse Launcher Discord Server

We are pleased to finally announce, after many months of deliberation, that the Collapse Launcher Discord server is now open to the public! Everyone is welcome to join and hang out! This server will serve as the go-to place if you have any questions, ideas, or if you just want to chat about anything regarding the launcher, any currently published miHoYo games or, you know, how your day went!

Here's the invite link: https://discord.gg/vJd2exaS7j

We hope to see you there!

New Feature: Notification panel

Collapse will now show you all your notifications in a dedicated panel to de-clutter the interface. This also has the added benefit that we can push more notifications at a given time if needed.

Major Changes

Faster background image loading by optimizing `ColorThief` submodule (Thanks @Scighost !)

We are optimizing the way ColorThief generates the color palettes for Collapse. Please keep in mind that this changes may causes some issues if you're trying to load an image the supported bit-depth (24bppRGB, 32bppRGB, 32bppRGBA).

Ability to disable warnings while changing game region 2a13a68 !

New Locales: Japanese, Deutsch and Traditional Chinese. Thank you to all our contributors on Crowdin! A reminder that, if possible, please make sure to test your changes in the launcher BEFORE making the official contributions on Crowdin, as this saves us time when a string is too long/too short. Thanks again!
Numerous fixes for new Honkai Impact 3rd 6.7 Dispatcher Key format: This will allow us to continue to support Honkai Impact 3rd on Collapse!
Internal adjustments to support new Genshin Impact download format: Previously, Genshin Impact would download bigger archives and we would take care of splitting the files into smaller chunks for easier merging and tracking. In preparation for version 4.0, it seems that the developer is splitting the game distribution into smaller archive bundles. This is now taken into account when downloading & updating Genshin Impact.

Collapse - 1.69.23 [Codename: Version Kiana]

Published by Cryotechnic over 1 year ago

Attention

This build is supposed to provide some hotfixes for some bugs found in the last release. Please update your launcher to this v1.69.23 release if you encounter any issues with the game installation with the last v1.69.20 release.

Update: 2023/06/07 - 09:50 +7

We've noticed that the launcher still asking for another package to download while updating Honkai: Star Rail even the pre-load has already been downloaded. In this regards, please update your launcher to this latest v1.69.23 release to fix the issue.

We apologize for the issues occured

Thank you~

1.69.23: Version Kiana

We can't believe it's been over 2 years since this project was first launched. A big thank you to all our developers and users for continuing to work and use this application. We hope you're having as much fun using it as we did making it!

It's been a while since the last major release of Collapse (almost 4 months ago ^.^). We wanted to make sure we get this release right, as its name coincides with one in a game we (hopefully) all hold dear in our hearts. Honkai Impact 3rd was a turning point for a lot of us from the Collapse development team, and so we wanted to take the time to make this version extra special to commemorate its launch. That being said, please take note that we are all volunteers working on this project. This means that Collapse can receive slower, maintenance updates for an extended period of time should we have more pressing matters to attend to in the real world.

This release changelog is going to be structured a bit differently than the other ones (someone else is writing it, teehee). Without further ado, buckle up, because this is biiiiiiiig update \o/

What's New?

Change in Versioning Scheme (again)

Starting with Codename: Version Kiana, Collapse is officially switching from a 4 number denomination to 3 number denomination. This is a breaking change for the end user, but ensures that we adhere to the Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 (SemVer for short) versioning scheme, so we felt it was in our best interest to transition to this version scheme. To boil it down, this means the following:

Instead of having a version number of, for example, 1.0.64.0, the new version format will now be 1.64.0. Previous versions are not subject to the versioning scheme. The explanation below will use the aformentioned example.
- 1 is the MAJOR version number. Unless otherwise stated, this number should never change (unless we make a drastic overhaul to the launcher, such as a full application rewrite)
- 64 is the MINOR version number. This is the number that gets incremented whenever we release new features
- 0 is the PATCH version number. This is incremented whenever we make bug fixes on the current release lifecycle.

It's important to note that you will no longer be able to downgrade to a version prior 1.69.0 once you apply this update due to a backend code update to accommodate for this change. While we will do our best to offer help should you encounter any issues to versions prior to 1.69.0, support is not guaranteed, so if you choose to stay on the old version, proceed at your own risk.

This change will allow us to more easily determine version numbers when we release them to you. Thanks for understanding! ❤️

New Feature: Improved New User Experience

Shipping with Collapse 1.69.0 is a new setup experience that streamlines the setup process, while also introducing some new features!

And here's more UI tweaks!

New Feature: Window Resizing

Yet another requested feature that is now available in Collapse 1.69.0. This allows the user to make the launcher window smaller, which means that Collapse now also supports 4:3 monitors! Yay!

e2db756 !, 10257f2 !

New Feature: Release Channel Switching

As the title says, this enables the user to directly switch from the Stable, battle-tested version of Collapse to a more experimental branch of Collapse, which is updated more frequently but can contain more breaking changes.

Should you consider switching to the experimental branch ("Dev"), please make sure to report any bugs that you may encounter by creating an issue over on GitHub (https://github.com/neon-nyan/Collapse/issues). Thanks for helping us make Collapse a better launcher!

ca524ed !

New Feature: Admin Restart Prompt

Starting with Collapse 1.69.0 (originally introduced in Collapse 1.0.64.0-preview), the launcher will prompt you for privilege escalation if you are running it as an unauthorized (without administrator permissions) user. To make it clear: Collapse has always asked you for these privileges and will continue to do so for the foreseeable, because of some Win32 API calls we've made, as well as to read data from the registry, installing games and customising the launcher experience.

The prompt looks like so:

Click here to see the preview

Should you choose to ignore this, Collapse will terminate itself and require you to run it as an administrator. By integrating it into the launcher itself, we hope to make it more user friendly for people that just want to use this as a better alternative to the default launcher.

Special thanks to @CryoTechnic for the initial proposal & implementation!

New Game – Honkai: Star Rail, coming April 26th!

This game needs no introduction, but we all knew it was coming. Honkai: Star Rail is officially launching on April 26th 2023. We're super excited to play it, and hopefully, so are you! Collapse will support the preloading (on April 23rd 2023) and installation of Honkai: Star Rail, assuming everything works as expected. As stated before, you will not be able to access Honkai: Star Rail in Collapse before April 23rd due to a backend configuration update that we will manually push out once we complete our preparations for supporting the game. The launcher will automatically apply the latest configuration update once it is pushed out, so you don't need to do anything on your end!

See you aboard the Astral Express, Trailblazer!

9692060!, ebd8d9b!

New Feature: Running Multiple Instances of Collapse

Click here to see the preview

Previously, users were not able to run multiple Collapse processes without running into issues. This has now been resolved! This is a feature that was necessary to implement while we work on implementing background installation for new games and/or updating existing ones. While we understand that the aformentioned feature is highly requested, the implementation for it has proven to be quite a challenge and will require more time to fine-tune before it is made available for the general public. We appreciate your patience and can't wait to show you it in action once it's ready!

To allow Collapse to spawn multiple instances, you must first enable that option in the launcher settings.
c328d8e !, d10bd2d !, eedf0cf !

QoL Improvement: Smaller Installation Size

Yup, you heard it right! Collapse is shrinking in size soon, and this updates serves as an intermediary step to achieve that goal. The first part of this update will focus on the update mechanism that powers Collapse. While it was good and served us well, it was quite bandwidth hungry and had no way of only downloading the patched files. This changes with our new updater, which uses Squirrel, an extensive framework for managing and distributing our application in the best possible manner, while keeping the update size minimal.

The current update process works by querying a repository and fetching all the files contained therein. Squirrel solves that by generating delta files that are read when checking for updates and applies only the difference between the current file and the updated file, thus saving ~80% of the bandwidth required by the older updater. This also has the added benefit of saving us a lot of development time due to its easy-to-use tools to generate those files.

On a more serious note though, due to how it is designed, Squirrel cannot generate patches for older versions of Collapse. In order to ensure the smoothest possible upgrade experience, please make sure that Collapse is running on version 1.0.55.6 Stable. Should you be running an experimental release ("Dev"), we recommend downgrading to the last stable release and upgrading from there, as Squirrel may not behave as intended. Furthermore, due to our migration to this new updater framework, versions prior to the last 2 stable releases may not work as intended.

Please keep in mind that should things break, we encourage you make a clean install of Collapse. This is a big change for all of us involved, and we're doing our best to sort everything out before we ship it to you, but some things may slip through the cracks. Your patience is therefore much appreciated.

Collapse - 1.0.52.5 [Codename: Elysia]

Published by neon-nyan almost 2 years ago

Hi there, It's been a while and welcome to another stable release of Collapse!.
We have lots of code changes in this release to bring you more stability while using our launcher.
And I would like to say that this release has the most changes being made so far compared to the previous version.
Of course, with a lot of bug fixes coming, performance improvement and some minor UI Revamp for your better experience with this launcher.

Without further ado, Let's see what changes being made so far!

What's New (since 1.0.52.4 RC2 release)?

[Launcher] New Preload Dialog Style 2207d24! 4f62fe7!

We have changed the UI from Notification-like appearance to a bottom-box, matches the style of the current UI.

What's New (since 1.0.52.1 RC1 release)?

[Launcher] Simplifying Versioning Scheme.

Previously, the 3rd number was marked as "major changes" number and 4th number to mark "minor changes" number. Start from this version, the 2nd number will be used to mark "major changes", the 3rd number for "minor changes" number and the 4th for "revision changes" (like bug fixes, release candidate, etc.) number.

[Launcher] Right-aligned Notification (Windows 11 only) and Fix gap after closing notifications.

If you're running this launcher on Windows 10, the style will remain unchanged but the gap issue after closing notifications is applicable for both Windows 10 and Windows 11.

https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/30566970/197380332-08193931-08d4-469d-9666-92afb9796e00.mp4

[Honkai Impact 3rd/Launcher] Change the "Volumetric Lighting" from Toggle to Multiple Selection.

In previous version, you can only enable and disable the Volumetric Lighting setting.
Since 5.9 update, the setting now have multiple selection, including Low, Medium and High and by this current build, the launcher will now have Multiple Selection for the setting too.

[Honkai Impact 3rd/Launcher] Use MVVM-like properties to bind Game Settings.

These changes also include a fix for "Level of Detail" setting where it will fallback to "High" by default.
Thank you @bagusnl for reporting this issue on Discord.

To make it reachable for everyone, this version is now coming to Collapse Launcher!

How to Install?

For now, we have three options for you to install this app:

Installer
Download the Installer file below with name: CL-x.x.x-xxx_Installer.exe and run the launcher, then follow the instruction to install it.
Portable
Download the .7z file with name: CL-x.x.x-xxx_Portable.7z and extract it with LZMA2 supported archiver, like WinRAR or 7-zip. Then run "CollapseLauncher.exe" to start the launcher.
Portable Minimal
This Portable build doesn't include .NET Desktop Runtime (unlike the other two). If you don't have .NET 6 Desktop Runtime installed on your computer, you need to download the .NET 7-rc1 Desktop Runtime here and install it. Download the .7z file with name: CL-x.x.x-xxx_PortableMinimal.7z and then extract the .7z file the same way as Portable build. After that, you can run "CollapseLauncher.exe" to start the launcher.
