Trooper's Skate 3 Recomp Launcher v3.0.0: first public release

This is the first public release of Trooper's Skate 3 Recomp Launcher. It's an unofficial companion app for the Skate 3 Recomp PC port. (The version number continues from the private builds I used before going public.)

What it's for

The recomp is configured through a settings.toml file full of cvars. This launcher gives you a proper Windows app instead. You get every option on clean pages with plain-English help, plus the tools you need to keep the game running smoothly. Then you press PLAY. It's a single portable .exe that sits next to skate3.exe, with no installer and nothing extra to download.

Highlights

  • Every setting, explained. Display, Graphics, Lighting & Shadows, Controls, Audio & System, plus an Advanced page with search across every setting and raw editing of any cvar.
  • Quality presets (Low / Medium / High / Ultra) with a live VRAM estimate for your GPU.
  • Conflict warnings when settings clash, such as V-Sync with G-Sync or shadow options while the emulated renderer is on.
  • GPU picker that lists your Vulkan GPUs with their VRAM, so the game never starts on integrated graphics. You can also set Windows' own graphics preference for skate3.exe.
  • Profiles: save setups like "Ultra 4K" or "Ultrawide", switch in one click, and make desktop shortcuts that launch straight into one. The launcher also keeps a history of your last 15 settings saves.
  • Save backups: your career is zipped automatically every time you press PLAY. Restore in one click; your current saves are always backed up first. There's also a DLC folder manager.
  • Logs and crash help: a colour-coded log viewer, a check for whether the last session crashed, a pop-up after a crash, and one-click bug reports (copy or .zip).
  • Controller page: a live XInput and DirectInput tester, a rumble test, and a recorder for the in-game settings-menu button combo.
  • Launcher tools: update check for new recomp releases, shader-cache cleaner, system tray, Discord Rich Presence, and command-line quick play (--play, --profile "Name").
  • Safe with your config: only the keys you change are rewritten. Everything else in settings.toml is kept, and every save is backed up first.

Install

  1. Download TroopersSkate3Launcher-v3.0.0-win.zip below.
  2. Extract Trooper's Skate 3 Recomp Launcher.exe into your Skate 3 Recomp folder, next to skate3.exe.
  3. Run it. It needs Windows 10 or 11, which already includes the .NET Framework it uses.

The exe isn't code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may warn you the first time. Click More info → Run anyway. This release was built by GitHub Actions directly from the source in this repo.

Coming next

  • Mod loader: install, enable, disable and order mods from inside the launcher.
  • Texture pack support: add, switch between and manage custom texture packs.

Ideas and bug reports are welcome in Issues. The Logs page's "Copy bug report" button gives me everything I need.
