UNIFIDECK v0.7.3

New Features

• Added Protontricks detection. Your Unifideck games now appear in Protontricks with the prefix the game runs in. If you use the Flatpak version, Unifideck grants it read access to the prefixes folder so it can see them. This does not mean we will support fixes via Protontricks perpetually. Tinker at your own risk.
• Added a language picker when installing Epic games that ship separate language packs.
• Added an Installed section to the Downloads tab listing every installed game with its size and storage location, each with Play and Uninstall.
• Removed finished and cancelled downloads from the Downloads tab history. Only failures are kept now, with a Clear failed button, since completed downloads show up in the Installed list instead.
• Added a manual Save location row to the cloud save window showing where your saves were detected, with Change location and Reset to automatic for all games instead of just the ones where the plugin couldn't find the save location.
• Added a prominent Cloud saves indicator on the game page showing Supported, Not supported or Unknown before you install the game.

Major Issues Fixed

• Fixed launching a Ubisoft game re-installing the current prefix.
• Fixed the Update button never appearing for any store.
• Fixed some Epic games failing to install instantly on every attempt, including Fallout 3 GOTY, Fallout New Vegas, Hogwarts Legacy and Cyberpunk 2077 (language selector fixes this).
• Fixed uninstalling an Epic game removing it from your library without freeing any disk space.
• Fixed GOG games never receiving their Visual C++ and Unreal Engine runtimes, which made their launchers and games crash or refuse to start.
• Fixed Amazon showing as signed out and then failing to sign back in.
• Fixed saves being lost when a game's Proton version changed.
• Fixed save locations, cloud save support and descriptions missing for many games, including titles starting with "The", "A" or a number, and titles with trademark symbols or edition names.
• Fixed Steam's Stop button and the X in the play row not actually stopping the game.
• Fixed the Proton version changing on every launch of an already set up game, which also wiped the Visual C++ registry entries some games need.
• Fixed "Space Required" sitting blank for several seconds on most game pages.
• Fixed the Quick Access panel jumping back to Settings instead of the tab you were on.
• Improved leftover Proton folders that Steam created for Unifideck games are now cleaned up automatically in the background, and only when they can be positively identified as ours. Your own non-Steam games are never touched.

Special thanks to @kevbenjam for the German localization improvements, and to all of our community testers on Discord for the feedback that shaped this release. Couldn't have done it without you!

UNIFIDECK v0.7.2

UNIFIDECK v0.7.2

An urgent fix for an outdated bundled umu launcher that broke game launches and fresh installs on every store, plus a batch of launch, install and library reliability fixes.

• Fixed the bundled umu launcher being out of date (now 1.4.4). Valve's server stopped serving the runtime downloads the old version asked for, which broke launches and fresh installs across every store.
• Fixed the Proton version you pick in Steam's own Compatibility dropdown being ignored, applying late, or stopping the game from launching at all. Newer official builds (Proton 11 and later) now work too.
• Fixed Ubisoft Connect and Ubisoft games not starting at all on some devices.
• Fixed Rockstar games on Epic (Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA V Enhanced Edition) crashing instantly or not being found by the Rockstar launcher.
• Fixed some Epic and Amazon installs finishing in seconds with nothing downloaded, or failing instantly with no error shown.
• Fixed your library being wiped from Steam, along with your own manually added non-Steam games, if you also use NonSteamLaunchers. (Compatibility fix).
• Fixed syncing and artwork using the wrong account's folders when you have more than one Steam account. This let to users seeing 0 games even after syncing/force syncing.
• Fixed Unifideck games appearing in Steam Home's Recent Games shelf when you had never played them.
• Added a disk space check before a download starts, so it fails up front with the numbers instead of partway through.
• Added a Capture Logs button (Quick Access → Unifideck settings) that zips every log into your Downloads folder for bug reports. Please share the generated logs when you create bug reports.
• Updated the bundled Epic and GOG tools (legendary 0.20.43, gogdl 1.2.2).

UNIFIDECK v0.7.1

UNIFIDECK v0.7.1

An emergency stability release to fix a Steam Library crash on the SteamOS Preview/Beta channel, plus a batch of sync, install and launch reliability fixes.

• Fixed a crash that broke the entire Steam Library when running the SteamOS Preview/Beta update (appFilter.Matches is not a function). If you disabled Unifideck to work around this, you can safely re-enable it.
• Fixed libraries sometimes showing 0 games after a sync, and non-Steam shortcuts you added yourself being removed during a sync.
• Fixed some GOG games (DOSBox and Windows-wrapper titles) not launching correctly.
• Fixed some Epic installs failing when a bundle's DLC couldn't download. These now retry automatically without the DLC.
• Fixed some Linux-native GOG installs not completing.
• Fixed GOG showing 0 games after signing in, caused by expired or slow-to-refresh sign-in tokens.
• Fixed Amazon Prime Gaming games not appearing after claiming them, even after a force sync.
• Fixed occasional errors after the plugin reloads, including store badges disappearing from library tiles.
• Fixed sync progress not showing right away on some setups, leaving the sync bar looking stuck.
• Fixed SD cards not being detected as install locations on some devices.
• Fixed Ubisoft sign-in failing to launch and dropping back to the game menu.
• Improved sync and storage reliability (faster repeat syncs, better detection of newly connected storage, safer handling of long-running syncs).

Notes

• The "0 games after sync" / "shortcuts disappearing" fix is included in this build. If you were affected, please update and let us know on Discord whether it's resolved for you.

UNIFIDECK v0.7

UNIFIDECK v0.7

Our biggest release yet. Unifideck 0.7 has been rebuilt from the ground up - launches, installs, sign-ins and syncs are faster and far more reliable, and a whole set of long-requested features finally lands: Achievements, Playtime Tracking, a Cloud Save overhaul and a built-in Self Updater.

New Features

• Achievements (GOG & Epic) - Your achievements now unlock and display for GOG and Epic games, right on the game page. This is entirely dependent on if the game actually supports Achievements though.
• Playtime Tracking - Unifideck now records playtime for all your games with play stats and streaks and syncs your sessions back to your GOG and Epic accounts.
• Cloud Saves, Rebuilt - Cloud save support for Epic and GOG got a full overhaul: save locations are detected far more reliably, a status indicator on the game page shows if cloud saves are active, and a manual sync button lets you push/pull on demand. This lets you have more control over your saves and avoids overwrites. If the plugin is not able to detect your save location, you can set it manually. (Shoutout to PCGamesWIKI and Ludusavi for the save game location repositories)
• Self Updater - Unifideck now checks for new releases and updates itself with one click and live progress. This is the last time you'll install the plugin from Github :)
• Latest GE-Proton by Default - New installs automatically download and use the latest GE-Proton (better video playback and game compatibility out of the box). Prefer something else? Just use Steam's own Compatibility dropdown per game — your choice now sticks properly across launches.
• Change Executable - Game launching the wrong thing (config tools, launchers)? You can now pick the correct executable straight from the game's context menu (gear icon).
• Store Badges in Your Library - Library tiles now show which store each game comes from.
• Native Sorting & Filters for Your Games - Steam's own library sorting and filtering (including review scores) now works with Unifideck games.
• Custom Per-Game Install Locations - A full directory browser with drive selection and folder creation for choosing exactly where games install.
• Steam Collections Are Now Opt-in - Collections are off by default (no more syncing to your other devices via Steam Cloud). Turn them on in Quick Access → Unifideck settings if you want them. If you have Tabmaster installed, we will no longer create custom tabs or collections automatically.
• Custom Prefix Storage for Ubisoft - When you select an install location for Ubisoft games, the entire prefix is created there and the game is installed inside that prefix. This means you can go ahead and blindly install any game within the launcher without worrying about install locations a second time.
• Install Language Auto-Match - The language picker now pre-selects your language (if supported by the plugin)
• Reliable Big Installs - Large GOG installs no longer freeze at 100%.
• First-Launch Setup - Games are prepared during install, so your cloud saves are there on the very first launch and the game launches immediately (no first time setup unless the final installation step was aborted)
• Faster, Steadier Game Pages - Game details load instantly, with game size, accurate "last played" times, and richer metadata.
• Better Downloads - Persistent download history, clearer progress and status, launch straight from the download queue, and safer cancellation.
• Sign-in Reliability - Store login windows no longer close on their own in Gaming Mode and failed sign-ins recover cleanly (restart still recommended).
• Startup Cleanup - Orphaned or broken shortcuts left behind by older versions are detected and cleaned automatically.
• Future Store Integrations - The entire purpose of this rebuild was to enable easier integration with new stores while improving code quality and maintainability. So please look forward to quicker store integrations in the future (EA, Battle.net and Itch.io planned).

Major Issues Fixed

• Fixed installed games showing as "not installed" after a sync (GOG especially)
• Fixed the Installed tab/filter swallowing thousands of non-Unifideck shortcuts (emulators, other launchers)
• Fixed Native Play button still not being hidden correctly
• Fixed games launching companion/config tools instead of the game (see Change Executable)
• Fixed first launch after install missing cloud saves
• Many, many more launch, install and sync fixes across every store

Notes

• Even though this was tested at multiple levels, to avoid data loss of any kind, please backup the following files before installing and syncing the latest version - ~/.local/share/unifideck/
• After updating, run a Force Sync (Quick Access → Unifideck) and restart Steam once so the new library features (badges, sorting, achievements) fully load.
• If a game misbehaved on an older version, please try it again on 0.7.0 before reporting — the launch stack is new, and per-game logs now live in ~/.local/share/unifideck/launches/ if you need to attach one.

Major thanks to @src893 (HardCPP) for the enormous engineering effort behind this release, and to all of our community testers on Discord for months of feedback.

Special thanks to sufi0511, moi952, _badbug, lutianxing, kev.benjam, kmturley and others on Discord for assistance with beta testing, development and documentation. Couldn't have done it without you!

UNIFIDECK v0.6.1

• Moved all store authentications to the shortcut based approach
• Removed Chromium/Chrome fallback. MS Edge is now required and plugin will prompt for it if not already installed.
• Fixed Microsoft Login and controller detection. Game will launch automatically from the shortcut but you will need to click on the Play via Cloud button inside Microsoft Cloud Gaming homescreen at least once, to complete OAuth.
• Fixed Sync sometimes not triggering on auth
• UI Update : Game Details View now appears before Language
• UI Update : QAM open immediately after login/auth completes
• Ubisoft - You will need to switch Proton versions BEFORE you install the game, otherwise the game and prefix will get deleted.

Notes

• If plugin is stuck while installing, please uninstall the current unifideck plugin and install the new zip.
• If you have continued issues with sign-in or game launches (specifically Ubisoft), delete chromium-auth, ubisoft_installer_cache and the ubisoft prefixes in /home/{user}/.local/share/unifideck/ and try again.

• Fix Artwork Query and Filtering - Artwork from SteamGridDB should be much more accurate and higher quality
• Enhanced Cleanup - The delete all data option now properly cleans up all Unifideck managed shortcuts, artwork, prefixes, metadata and auth tokens (Not sure why anyone would use this feature anyway -_- )
