AnyPlay Launcher 0.3.5

Three new looks that move, a calmer language choice, and a safer clips folder.

New looks

  • Ember: a low, warm hearth of charcoal and copper in AnyPlay orange. Embers rise slowly and fade, warm smoke drifts over them.
  • Tide: deep, cool water in petrol and ice blue, with threads of light from the surface and slow light shafts.
  • Daylight: the first light look. Soft daylight, dark text, a cool sky over a warm horizon, clouds drifting by.
  • Choose them in Settings > Appearance or on the Look page of the first start, which now shows all six looks in two rows.
  • With Animations: Reduced, every look holds still.

Played With Recently

  • Friends > Played With Recently lists the people you shared a party or a game session with in the last 30 days, so you can add them as a friend or look at their profile in one step.
  • Only you see this list. Turn off Remember People I Play With or clear the list any time, here or in your privacy settings on the web. People you block don't show up.

Easier to read

  • Choosing a language is now a plain list of names, on the first start and in Settings > Language. The language you point at shows the page in it right away.
  • Loading with Animations: Reduced no longer spins or sweeps: the indicator pulses gently instead.

Clips

  • Clips are saved only into your Captures folder. If something tries to save a clip elsewhere, the launcher says so.

Under the hood

  • The online service holds up better against misbehaving connections: limits on what a game or another player can make it wait for or keep, and connections that go silent are closed. Thanks to fogydes (@fogydes) for several of these.
  • On Linux, hardware video encoding for sharing stays off for now while it is tested on more graphics cards. Sharing keeps working as before.

Downloads

  • Windows: AnyPlay-Launcher-0.3.5-Setup.exe (installer, no administrator rights needed) or AnyPlay-Launcher-0.3.5-x64.exe (one file).
  • Linux: AnyPlay-Launcher-0.3.5-x86_64.AppImage, AnyPlay-Launcher-0.3.5-linux-x86_64.tar.gz or AnyPlay-Launcher-0.3.5-x86_64.flatpak.
  • macOS (Apple silicon, macOS 11 or newer): AnyPlay-Launcher-0.3.5-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.
