OpenShaker 1.0.2

Game haptics for ButtKicker and other bass shakers - by baddo & Claude

What's new in 1.0.2

• Automatic updates, if you want them. They're off unless you say yes.
  • When an update is found, the update bar asks, until you answer: "Install updates automatically when no
    game is running?" You can change your mind any time under Advanced... > Install updates
    automatically.
  • When they're on, OpenShaker waits until no game is running and none has sent data for 5 minutes. It then
    downloads, checks and installs the update exactly as Update now does, and comes back in the
    tray. The window tells you it updated itself.
  • It never interrupts a drive and never pops up, and a version you skipped is never installed.
    (How updating works)
• A simpler download check. Update now checks the installer against the SHA-256 that GitHub
  itself publishes for each release file, instead of a separate .sha256 file.
• The installer's only button now says Install.

Updating from 1.0.0 or 1.0.1: install this version once by hand (below); your settings are kept.
1.0.1's updater looks for a separate .sha256 file, which releases no longer carry, so it won't offer
this update itself. From 1.0.2 on, updates are one click, or automatic if you choose.

Note (added after 1.0.3): if you switched automatic updates on, update to 1.0.3. In 1.0.2 an automatic update that fails is tried again and again; 1.0.3 fixes that and a few smaller automatic-update issues.

Install

1. Download OpenShaker-Setup-1.0.2.exe below.
2. Double-click it. It isn't code-signed yet, so Windows may say "Windows protected your PC": click
   More info, then Run anyway.
3. Click Install on the only screen. OpenShaker installs and starts by itself.

Everything else, from games and effects to settings and troubleshooting, is in the
OpenShaker guide.
