Legacy Offline PC downloader/updater, built on rclone. V10 adds Quick Launch, a real Settings window, an in-app self-updater, a real app icon, and an always-on troubleshooting log — the biggest jump since V9.

What's new in V10

  • Quick Launch. After a successful check/update, both front-ends now offer to launch Legacy.exe directly instead of just telling you to do it yourself.
  • Auto-check on startup. A new Settings option checks for game updates automatically when you open the tool (existing installs only, never during first-run setup) — combined with Quick Launch's auto-launch option, you can go from opening the tool to playing with zero clicks.
  • A real Settings window. Click Settings on the main window (or [5] Settings in the console menu, which opens config.txt in your default text editor):
    • Auto-launch — skip the Quick Launch prompt entirely, launch and close automatically.
    • Auto-check on startup — described above.
    • Download speed limit — a real bandwidth cap, in MB/s (new capability, didn't exist before).
    • Custom share URL — now a real field, and it accepts the friendly Nextcloud share link you'd actually copy, not just the raw WebDAV path.
    • Check for LegacyDownloader updates automatically — see below.
  • Self-updater. LegacyDownloader can now check for its own newer releases and update itself in place — no more manually downloading a new zip and extracting it over your old folder. Every update still requires a manual click; nothing installs itself without your say-so.
  • A real app icon, in every window's title bar and the taskbar.
  • An always-on troubleshooting log. Every check and download now writes a real log file to bin\logs\ automatically — no setting to turn on, nothing to remember before something goes wrong. Capped at the newest 30 runs so it never grows unbounded.

Fixes

  • The activity log box no longer narrows itself whenever its scrollbar appears — it now always uses the full width and tracks to the latest line automatically.

Upgrading from V9.x or earlier?

Delete everything in your old install folder except config.txt, then extract this new zip into that same folder. Your saved game folder, song selections, and language are picked up automatically. This is the last time you'll need to do it manually — from V10 onward, the in-app self-updater can handle it for you.

Getting started

  1. Download LegacyDownloaderV10.zip below and extract it anywhere.
  2. Double-click LegacyDownloader-GUI.bat.
  3. Follow the on-screen setup — or open the tutorial for a full walkthrough.

Requirements

Windows with PowerShell 5.1 (built into every modern Windows install). Nothing else to install — rclone.exe ships inside the zip. (Or Linux with PowerShell Core + rclone on your PATH — console only; the self-updater checks for updates there too but never applies them automatically, since the release zip doesn't ship a Linux rclone binary — see the README's "Running on Linux" section.)
