Legendary C# now has a proper installer, a new icon, and knows which old builds still download in full before you start.

Which file do I grab?

  • LegendarySharp-v1.0.4.msi: the installer, recommended. No admin rights needed, it installs for your account only.
  • LegendarySharp-v1.0.4.exe: the plain app if you would rather not install anything. Runs from anywhere, same as before.

What the installer adds

  • Start menu and desktop shortcuts named Legendary C#
  • Terminal commands: type L#, Lsharp or legendary# in cmd, PowerShell or Windows Terminal to open the app from any folder
  • A Windows Terminal profile: Legendary C# shows up in the Terminal dropdown (restart Terminal once after installing)
  • Updates in place: running a newer msi later replaces the old version, your settings and builds stay where they are
  • Clean uninstall from Settings > Apps, which removes the commands, shortcuts and Terminal entry

How to use it

  1. Run the msi, then open Legendary C# from the Start menu, the desktop, or by typing L# in a terminal.
  2. Want builds to land in a specific folder? Open a terminal in your builds folder (any folder with "builds" in its path, like D:\FortniteBuilds) and type L#. The app jumps straight to picking a version and downloads into that folder.
  3. When it asks for an install folder you can drag a folder onto the window or paste a path, quotes and all.
  4. Pick a version. Builds that still download in full are marked confirmed, broken ones tell you exactly how many files will be missing before you start.

Old builds

Every build up to 23.50 was checked chunk by chunk against Epic's CDN. It turns out to be all or nothing: a build either downloads in full with any preset, or it is missing core files even on Minimal, so a smaller preset never rescues a broken build. The app ships with the results, and the full list is in docs/BUILDS.md.

All changes

  • New MSI installer with Start menu and desktop shortcuts, a Windows Terminal profile and the L#, Lsharp and legendary# commands
  • New app icon, styled after the original legendary
  • Builds that still download in full are marked confirmed, broken ones show exactly how many files will be missing for the tags you pick
  • Starting the app from a folder with builds in its path goes straight to picking a version and downloads into that folder
  • Drag a folder onto the window or paste a path to fill in the install folder, quotes included
  • Downloads screen shows the queue running in the background inside the same window
  • Manifests are loaded from the exact link in the release index, so builds stored outside the usual archive folder load again
  • The app runs on its own screen and hands your terminal back untouched when you quit, with a short goodbye and the GitHub link
  • Fixed the logo and menus being cut off in short console windows
  • Fixed the version number showing as 1.0.0
