Green Launcher 0.17.5 fixes portable updates that reopened an installer or kept the previous executable running.

Silent updates

  • Portable updates verify the downloaded executable, replace the launcher in place and restart automatically without a setup wizard.
  • A compatibility handoff lets the existing 0.17.4 portable launcher upgrade through its current update action. The new Downloads interface is available after this first upgrade.
  • If the new executable fails to open, the updater restores the previous file. Profile and account data remain separate from the executable.
  • Installed launchers apply updates silently. Updates remain explicit and are blocked while games or other installations are active.

Downloads

  • Update download progress, restart readiness and the last successful update appear on the Downloads page.
  • The blinking status-bar update link opens Downloads. Launcher settings also forward update actions to this page.
  • Interrupted downloads can be retried; checksum validation and the no-downgrade policy remain enforced.

Logs

  • Successful updates and update failures are recorded in the launcher log.
  • Identical errors share an occurrence count. First and last occurrence times appear in the expanded details.

Validation

  • Tested the unchanged 0.17.4 Electron update handoff against an isolated portable executable, including the real new launcher startup and success log.
  • Verified atomic replacement, corrupt-payload rejection, failed-launch rollback, cancellation, retries and update guards.
  • Checked Downloads, notifications and changelog navigation in all six supported languages.
