Asher v2.0.0

⚛ Asher v2.0.0 — Electron Manager

Asher 2.0 is a major release: the manager UI moves from WPF to Electron, with the same install / patch / launch core on a dedicated Asher.Host backend.

Features

• Electron manager (Asher.exe) replacing the WPF / Material Design app (Asher.App.exe)
• Asher.Host backend over JSONL (install, uninstall, mods, settings, and launch stay in C#)
• Home hub, collapsible sidebar, Patch Manager, Settings, and install wizard flows
• Language selection (English, Português (Brasil), Español) and Light / Dark theme
• Enable / disable built-in patches with toast feedback
• Install always creates a game backup (no optional toggle)
• Safe uninstallation from Settings (in-app restore via the local Asher folder)
• Total exclusion from Settings (runs Uninstall-Asher.cmd in the game folder for a full wipe)
• Emergency Uninstall-Asher.cmd beside DustAET.exe if the manager zip is missing
• Check for updates from Settings (GitHub Releases zip apply for the packaged Distribution app)
• Zip + unpacked Distribution packaging (npm run dist)
• Additional built-in patches: Mute Voice Acting, Dust Storm Overheat Disabler (plus Debug Menu, Intro Skipper, Graphics Deprofiler)

Known limitations

• Content patcher UI is not available yet (no backend)
• Desktop shortcut creation after install is not implemented

Installation

1. Download Asher-2.0.0-win.zip (or the matching zip from this release)
2. Extract it and run Asher.exe
3. Use Setup to locate your Dust: An Elysian Tail folder, then Install
4. Start the game through Steam or the manager’s Launch Game option — it should launch patched

Observations

• The manager stays in your extracted Distribution folder. Runtime files and mods are installed into the game’s Asher/ folder; the UI is not copied into the game directory (unlike 1.0.0).
• Keep the extracted Distribution folder (or move it somewhere permanent) — that is the app you open and update later.
• If you need to restore the game without the manager UI, run Uninstall-Asher.cmd next to DustAET.exe in the game folder.
• Upgrading from 1.0.0: prefer uninstalling the old WPF install (or using Total exclusion / the emergency script), then install 2.0.0 from this zip into the same game folder.
