Download

PitLaunch-win-Setup.exe — run it. No admin rights needed. Installs for the current user, adds Start Menu and Desktop shortcuts, and updates itself from here on.

The other files below (RELEASES, assets.win.json, releases.win.json, the .nupkg) are update data the app reads automatically — nothing to download by hand.

PitLaunch is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen will warn on first run. Choose More info → Run anyway.

What's new

This release adds the update system itself, and fixes the bug that made game detection silently do nothing:

  • Game detection actually works now. Launching a game switches setups; quitting it switches back. Previously, an automatic switch triggered the same "Confirm before switching?" dialog as a manual one — which popped PitLaunch's window over a fullscreen game, where it was never seen or clicked, so the switch never happened. Confirmation now only applies to switches you start yourself inside the window.
  • Choose game file — pick a game's .exe straight from disk to watch for, next to the existing running-apps picker.
  • Saving a setup that watches a game now turns on game detection automatically instead of silently requiring a separate toggle first.
  • Self-updating installer. PitLaunch checks for updates in the background and shows a quiet Update available marker in the sidebar. Updating downloads only the files that changed — typically well under 1 MB, instead of the ~75 MB a fresh install costs.
  • Settings gained an Updates section: current version, manual check, and install with one click.

Beta safety, unchanged from 0.9.1

  • Every display layout is validated with Windows before it's applied, with rollback if Windows refuses it.
  • Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F12 enables every connected monitor as an emergency reset, whether PitLaunch's window is open or hidden in the tray.
  • A missing display, audio device, app, or window is skipped with a warning instead of failing the whole switch.

Reporting a problem

Include what you clicked, what happened, and %APPDATA%\PitLaunch\pitlaunch.log from the affected machine.
