Star-Launcher 5.0.1 Stable

Star-Launcher 5.0.1 is a compact-layout maintenance update for the 5.0 native
game workflow.

What changed

  • Moved Add launch method beside the Launch Methods section title on Main.
  • Moved Add game-specific app beside the Game-Specific Apps section title.
  • Moved Add keybind viewer beside the Keybind Viewers section title.
  • Removed the three separate add-button rows to reduce the Game Launch card's
    vertical height without changing saved settings or launch behavior.
  • Preserved automatic per-game saving, independent controller presets, universal
    Utility Apps and Preferences, Steam launching, multiple keybind viewers, resource
    catalogs, tile reordering, and 4.x/5.0 migration behavior.

Download

  • Star-Launcher-5.0.1.zip - verified portable package with the executable,
    README, manifest, and executable checksum.
  • Star-Launcher-5.0.1.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.
