RoALT 0.9.0

What's new

Layout

• New tab layout: put your accounts in a list on the side, with RoALT's sections as tabs along the top. Switch in Settings or with the new title bar button
• Drag account tabs, the account list and sections into your own order, or use Alt and the arrow keys. The order is saved, and launching all tabs follows it
• Debug is its own tab, and clearing it now lasts when you switch tabs or restart
• CPU and memory settings have their own panel in Performance, most useful first, and the preset cards are shorter

Memory

• We checked every memory setting, and they do less than their names suggested. Trim pages memory out for a while, and commit size doesn't change. The throttle only adds a CPU cap. Only Restart on high memory frees commit, and it disconnects the client. The wording in the app now says so
• Commit size now shows next to Memory on Home and Monitor, with a total
• Badges show the limits really in force on a client, including those from your settings, and Full quality accounts have a badge
• Paging memory out by hand shows the amount before and after, and each trim logs what it did, so we can finally measure it. We haven't measured savings yet, so we aren't promising any
• Max alts and Balanced no longer turn off your own Restart and Throttle limits
• Applying a preset also makes running clients tiny or hidden when it turns that on, including the one you're playing, unless its account is Full quality. Graphics still wait for the next launch, and RoALT now says so
• New setting: Live previews of hidden clients. Off, hidden clients sleep even on Home and show their last picture. Max alts turns it off
• A limit set on one client now only overrides that limit, so its other Adaptive limits stay. Only Full quality opts an account out of them all

Anti-AFK

• Bring to front mode now wakes sleeping and minimized clients for their key press, invisibly, instead of silently skipping them. This can take about 2 s per client, so In the background still suits many clients
• In the background holds its key longer. Roblox may still not count it in every game, so tell us if clients still get kicked

Fixes

• A running client should no longer be marked closed because Windows refused one read of it, or because its start time couldn't be read at launch. If it still happens, please send your log
• Clients Windows won't let RoALT read are followed again after RoALT restarts
• RoALT now only adopts the client that matches its launch's log, so it won't take over a Roblox you opened yourself
• Tiny and hide now wait until a client is in a game, so windows stay visible while they load
• Error 403 is now detected and logged, and it slows every launch for a while. A batch retries the account once and stops if the next try is refused too. This doesn't stop 403s: we still don't know their cause
• The login cookie is read again during a launch, in case Roblox changed it

Better bug reports

• A client that ends badly now leaves an "autopsy" in the log: how long it really lived, any crash dump, Windows' record of the fault and the end of its logs
• Launch and error lines say much more. Copy diagnostics in Debug includes all of it

Good to know

• Most of this release was tested with automated checks and a simulated app, not across many real Roblox clients, so problems are more likely than usual. Reports help a lot
• With hide or tiny on, windows now show at full size while they load, so a big batch puts more on screen for a while
• A launch can wait up to a minute after a 403
