DepotTools v1.2.3

Highlights

• In-app stable updates. DepotTools checks for stable updates at startup and, optionally, hourly. Updates download and install only after an explicit user action; the persistent Settings banner remains available after a skipped prompt.
• Complete Add-page game metadata. Search selections, featured cards, protocol installs, and plugin adds now resolve their banner, genres, type, and release date directly from Steam app details.

Fixes and reliability

• Removed the partial DepotBox game-detail path that caused selected games to show only their name and AppID.
• Added a rolling DepotTools Nightly prerelease from development and documented the stable/nightly release process.

Included commits

• 42cda60 Add hourly in-app update prompts
• 109638b Add persistent update banner and skip action

Full Changelog: v1.2.2...v1.2.3

DepotTools v1.2.2

Highlights

• Manage bundled tools from Settings. Install, reinstall, or remove Ludusavi, SteamAutoCrack, and DepotDownloaderMod; each entry reports its installed version and busy state.
• Clearer manifest download flow. The Add-page Download button now uses one stable icon slot, shows accurate Contacting Server, Finding Manifest, and Downloading Manifest phases, and rolls status text without overlapping the arrow and loader.

Fixes and reliability

• Fixed DepotBox broker usage statistics in camelCase being parsed as empty values, which could lock every source and leave FastFetch with no eligible source.
• Hardened helper-tool downloads, update handling, Hydra Cloud sync/authentication, and related API/proxy error paths.
• Fixed release-build compile issues and completed localization coverage for the new Settings and runtime-management UI.

Included commits

• 2e46aa4 Full bug-hunt sweep and Settings Runtimes section
• 8cce55a DepotBox usage-stat parsing regression fix
• 75328f2 Download-button loading state
• b6f09b4 Download-button status roller and single loader slot

Polish
