v0.3.0 — fail-early codec preflight + cross-distro multilib guidance
Standalone (GOG) HD cutscenes need a slice of the host's 32-bit userland that GE-Proton's codecs don't ship. This release makes that a fast, up-front stop instead of silent black cutscenes after a long install.
Highlights
- Fail-early 32-bit codec preflight (standalone installer): checks the required 32-bit libraries before any download and, if the host is missing them, prints the exact
apt/dnf/pacmanone-liner and stops. Pass--skip-codec-checkto install anyway (audio-only cutscenes). - Cross-distro coverage: package lists validated in Fedora 44, Ubuntu 24.04, Debian 13, and Arch containers; ostree/Bazzite-aware guidance.
- Fixes Fedora black cutscenes: stages
libbz2.so.1.0from Fedora'slibbz2.so.1(soname mismatch) andlibvpx.so.6(no distro ships that soname anymore). - Docs: new "Get the installer" section so non-git users can download a tarball directly.
