A new feature at last! This has been cooking for a while, MODDING! Allowing you to install mods for your games with ease and not at just installing, uninstalling, updating etc. too! This was the main highlight of this update, but there are many other smaller changes too, like improved performance, better stability (hopefully) and better QoL. I hope you enjoy this update!
Thanks for your continued support in Vorecade!
The changelog is below as usual:
v38
- Added a "What's New" section to the client, it will show the latest changes and updates to Vorecade.
- F5 behavior has been changed to reload the page instead of resetting the app. To reset the app, you can press Shift + F5 or Ctrl + R.
- The "Support" button on the Appbar has been renamed to "Support Vorecade" to better reflect its purpose.
- When using the custom titlebar, the action buttons' (minimize, maximize, close) backdrop wouldn't be blurred, this has been fixed.
- You will now be notified of the Activity Privacy on the first game you play after this update, you can change it in the user settings > "Privacy" section at any time.
- Releases tab in the game manager now shows the given version name alongside the version ID.- Fixed a visual glitch in the custom titlebar.
- Fixed an error where the app would encounter an error when the system had less than 2GB of RAM available and the app took longer than 5 seconds to boot up.
- Optimized the app's startup time by reducing the number of unnecessary operations during the initial loading phase.
- Fixed more instances of "Object has been destroyed" errors.- Added a new "Minimize to Tray" option in the user settings, allowing users to automatically minimizing the app to the system tray when a game is launched.
- Added a new system tray icon for the app, which will allow users to quickly hide/show the app without closing it. (Maybe bosskey/momwalkedin feature in the future?)
- Increased user about section's max character limit to 5000 characters from 1000 characters.
- Game reviews without comments will be displayed last in the reviews section to prevent empty reviews from taking up space.
- Terms of Service and Privacy Policy has been updated to reflect the latest changes and improvements.
- Age check page has been updated to include a link to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
- Renamed files now download as the new name instead of the old, original name.- Improved auto detection of the game executable file in the game folder selection process. It should now avoid selecting obviously wrong files like LICENSE.html, UnityCrashHandler64.exe, etc.
- Improved bootup time slightly by optimizing the initial game listing process.
- Disliked tags and game ignoring now work as intended, sorry for the inconvenience! (Regression cause not known, but it was fixed in this update)
- Content warnings within game pages now work as intended, sorry for the inconvenience! (Regression cause not known, but it was fixed in this update)
- MMB to open in new window in the client now works. (Might cause some synchronization issues between the windows, be warned.)
- Improved Renderer stability by using React contexts like a sane person instead of using global variables like a madman. Updates further down the line will migrate existing global variables to contexts. This shouldn't really affect your experience at all, I don't even know why I wrote this here, but if you are thinking of using global variables in react, please don't. Use contexts instead, it's much better and cleaner. (And it will make your life easier too!)
- Starting a download will now open the Downloads pane automatically.- Added a mod manager to the library page, allowing users to manage their installed mods, like enabling/disabling/uninstalling/updating mods from a single interface.
- The game and mod comments now tell you to log in to comment if you are not logged in, instead of just showing the comment box and not doing anything when you try to submit a comment.
- REGRESSION: Fixed a cake day bug where cake days of earlier months than October would never be triggered. Had been fixed in v35, but it was broken again in since then. Fixed now.
