What's new in 1.0.3

Fixes for the automatic updates added in 1.0.2. They only matter if you switched automatic updates on.

  • A failed automatic update is not tried again and again. If an automatic update fails, that version is
    no longer installed automatically, not even after a restart; the update bar says so, and Update now
    still works. A newer version is tried automatically again, and a network problem only postpones the
    update by 10 minutes.
  • Automatic updates wait while you use OpenShaker: they don't start while its window is open or a test
    tone plays, as well as while a supported game runs or sends data.
  • An interrupted automatic update keeps its download. If a game starts during the download, the checked
    installer is kept and installed at the next quiet moment, without downloading it again.
  • Switching automatic updates or the update check off during a download now stops it before anything
    is installed.
  • No automatic updates when OpenShaker runs with --no-start or without its tray icon.
  • The start after an automatic update shows no "device not found" notification.
  • A bigger window uses its space: the telemetry readouts, sliders and level bars stretch when you
    make the window wider or taller. The default size is unchanged.

Updating: from 1.0.2, use Update now (or let automatic updates do it). From 1.0.0 or 1.0.1,
install this version once by hand (below); your settings are kept.

Install

  1. Download OpenShaker-Setup-1.0.3.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.
