AnyPlay Launcher 0.3.4

A new first start, three more languages, and clips on the Mac.

A new first start

The first start is done again from the ground up: calm, centred pages and only what a new player needs.

  • Language first, with your system language already chosen.
  • Choose Your Look: the three themes, and right there Larger Text, High Contrast and Reduce Motion.
  • Your Controller, when a pad is connected: try the face buttons, pick which button confirms, and choose whether the Home button opens the launcher.
  • Where are your games? shows what was found, so a wrong folder is noticed at once.
  • Play Together says the privacy defaults in plain words before you sign in: private by default, Appear Offline, and your game files stay on your PC.
  • You're All Set shows the Home button, where Settings are and how new games arrive.

Pad, keyboard and mouse work on every page.

Español, Français, Português

  • The launcher now speaks Spanish, French and Brazilian Portuguese, next to English, Turkish and German. Choose one in Settings > Language or on the first page.
  • Games that follow the launcher's language get it too: Spanish (Spain or Latin America, from your system), French and Portuguese.
  • Dates, numbers and sizes are written the way each language writes them.
  • These translations have not been read by a native speaker yet. If you speak one of them, Settings > Language > Improve a Translation shows how to help.

Mac

  • Clips on the Mac: the Create button saves the last seconds of your game. Clips need Screen Recording for AnyPlay; when it is off, the launcher says so and opens the right page in System Settings. A clip key for the Mac comes later.

Easier to use

  • Settings, Library and Notifications have a Back button you can click, like Captures. Before, only Esc, the pad or a mouse side button left them.
  • Long names show in full when you point at them or move the focus there: game tiles, notifications, overview rows and shelf captions.
  • Screen readers now name the window buttons and the clip player.
  • Smaller fixes: the Settings list no longer cuts off its last entry, the character count in Post a Listing no longer covers the hint, and the button bar shows the right buttons on more screens.

Fixes

  • Share screen with game sound no longer crashes on Windows. In 0.3.3 the sharing helper could stop the first time a stream with sound started.
  • The online service is harder to misuse: tighter limits on what other players and servers can make it hold in memory, and game traffic reaches your game only from players in your session.

Downloads

  • Windows: AnyPlay-Launcher-0.3.4-Setup.exe (installer, no administrator rights needed) or AnyPlay-Launcher-0.3.4-x64.exe (one file).
  • Linux: AnyPlay-Launcher-0.3.4-x86_64.AppImage, AnyPlay-Launcher-0.3.4-linux-x86_64.tar.gz or AnyPlay-Launcher-0.3.4-x86_64.flatpak.
  • macOS (Apple silicon, macOS 11 or newer): AnyPlay-Launcher-0.3.4-macos-arm64.zip. If macOS says the developer cannot be verified, open System Settings > Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway.
  • The launcher you have offers this update by itself, on Windows, Linux and the Mac. It is signed like every update since 0.2.0.
