Loading & Responsiveness
- Each part of the launcher now shows its own loading indicator while its data is loading (accounts, clients, effects settings, and the About and Manage screens), so you can see what is still being fetched instead of the UI appearing frozen - The loading indicator in the account tab bar now fits cleanly inside the tab bar
Character Favorites
- Character favorites now launch on the client that is currently selected for that server, instead of a client saved when the favorite was created — quick-launching from the tray or the Favorites tab always starts the character on the client you have chosen
- Character favorites remember only the server and account: the client and proxy are taken from your current selection, so favorites no longer go stale when you switch or rearrange clients
Window & Tray
- The launcher window restores its saved size, position, and maximized state more reliably on startup; an invalid saved position is detected and the window is centered on screen instead of opening off-screen
- Fullscreen mode is now preserved through launcher startup
- Window position and state are no longer updated while the launcher is hidden in the tray, so restoring it from the tray shows the window exactly as you left it
- The startup splash screen stays until your chosen theme has finished loading
Effects Settings
- The effects archive is now repacked when you leave Client Settings, instead of on every client launch. Launching a client no longer repeats that repacking work
Under the Hood
- The launcher framework was updated to the latest version, bringing it current with upstream fixes
- Various stability, performance, and correctness improvements from a code audit
