Star-Launcher 5.0.0 Stable

Star-Launcher 5.0.0 introduces native per-game settings for space and flight sims.

What changed

  • Replaced Main Loadout profiles with a Game selector and automatic per-game saving.
  • Added native resource lists for Star Citizen, DCS World, Nuclear Option, Korea.
    IL-2 Series, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Elite Dangerous, X4: Foundations,
    X-Plane 12, and War Thunder. Discord links are excluded.
  • Made TrackIR, Tobii, OpenTrack, GameGlass, VoiceAttack, WingmanAI, and DCS-SRS universal
    Utility Apps with shared paths and per-game launch choices.
  • Removed SC Overlay / Blueprint Tracker from the interface and new defaults while
    retaining any old configured path as disabled migration data.
  • Kept controller presets separate and selectable per game.
  • Isolated 5.0 game settings from the 4.0 profile collection.
  • Consolidated each game's websites, wikis, shops, sheets, and other references in
    one game-named Resources card.
  • Moved keybind viewers and game-specific apps into Game Launch, retained an
    always-visible unconfigured primary viewer, and added multiple module-specific
    keybind viewers per game.
  • Combined Launch Options into universal Preferences and removed automatic profile
    launch at application startup.
  • Replaced game dropdowns with horizontally scrollable artwork tiles, added tile
    reordering directly on Main, and kept Add game as the final tile.
  • Replaced the Star Citizen tile artwork with the official wordmark and space
    backdrop and grouped Game Launch into Launch Methods, Game-Specific Apps, and
    Keybind Viewers.
  • Added entry controls on Main and Settings for launch methods, game-specific apps,
    Utility Apps, web resources, and controller presets.
  • Added universal Steam launching for every additional built-in game using verified,
    editable Steam App IDs.
  • Revalidated every included resource and standardized responsive multi-column
    resource layout across all games.
  • Kept deleted native entries deleted across catalog updates, cleaned stale Utility
    App selections, scoped the alternate Steam ID note to MSFS, and separated the
    Main-page controls for launch methods and game-specific apps.

Download

  • Star-Launcher-5.0.0.zip - verified portable package with the executable,
    README, manifest, and executable checksum.
  • Star-Launcher-5.0.0.zip.sha256 - verify the ZIP before distribution.

Requirements

  • Windows 10 or Windows 11, x64
  • .NET Framework 4.8
  • Optional third-party tools selected by the user

No installer, background service, or bundled third-party software is included.
Existing user data under %APPDATA%\Star-Launcher is preserved.

Important

The self-updater never silently elevates and never replaces game settings or preferences
under %APPDATA%\Star-Launcher. The website feed and downloadable ZIP must be
published together with the checksum and byte size produced for this release. The
experimental controller-tool updater remains separate.
