Game haptics for ButtKicker and other bass shakers - by baddo & Claude
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-startor 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
- Download OpenShaker-Setup-1.0.3.exe below.
- Double-click it. It isn't code-signed yet, so Windows may say "Windows protected your PC": click
More info, then Run anyway. - 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.
