Collapse - 1.0.52.4 Release Candidate 2

Published by neon-nyan almost 2 years ago

Attention

This preview build is a Release Candidate for the next stable version. Some of the features aren't yet final and need to be polished.

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.

[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.

Collapse - 1.0.52 Release Candidate 1

Published by neon-nyan about 2 years ago

Yet, this build has the most changes so far and lots of fixes and changes being made.

Don't forget to thank you so much for all of your support to keep this project alive.

What's New (since 1.0.36.3 Stable release)?

[Launcher] New Centered Game Selector for Windows 11

This style was supposed to be applicable for Windows 10 too since WinUI 3 1.2-pre1 has introduced AppWindowTitleBar support for Windows 10 (1809 and later). But unfortunately, the drag-area doesn't work so we leave it as previous position.

- [Launcher] New Rounded Buttons and UI Minor Adjustment.

You might notice that there are some minor changes on the UI, including the new cylindrical button and few adjustment on notification, acrylic style, etc.

- [Honkai Impact 3rd] New 崩壊3rd (Japanese PC Client) Support.

Yes, you heard it right!. This isn't something new though.

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