A new update is now available for the launcher. This update aims to improve performance and provide quality of life features such as saving server filter options and customising paths.
Launcher Preferences
Pressing the new 'settings cog' icon in the top right corner will open a new settings dialog to configure the UI language and the paths the launcher uses to install games and store package files used to install and repair game installations;
Game Server Hub
The launcher now uses our new 'Game Server Hub' service to provide its server listings. This is a new web service which aims to provide 'instant' updates to the launcher (and other clients) when a server status changes via the use of push notifications.
This service will be receiving various feature updates over time to add more features and functionality which you'll hear more about as we release them. In the meantime, any communities interested in using this push technology on their websites can contact me for information.
Localisation
This version of the launcher supports two new languages - Chinese (Simplified) thanks to @DoDoCat, and Polish thanks to @TrollekPL
We are still working on supporting localisation in all parts of the launcher. If you wish to contribute to this effort please check out the localisation topic in the forums for details.
