v0.4.4 — keep config.cfg across reinstall; quiet the GNOME not-responding popup
Quality-of-life fixes on top of v0.4.3.
config.cfgis preserved across reinstalls. The XWAU payload rewritesconfig.cfgon every (re)install (resetting your current pilot, keybinds, audio, graphics). The installer now snapshotsconfig.cfgbefore install and restores it afterward, so your settings — including which pilot is active — survive an upgrade/reinstall. (Interim workaround; upstream fix pending.)- No more "X-Wing Alliance is not responding" popup on first launch. The first launch compiles the DXVK shader cache and briefly makes the window unresponsive; the installer now silences GNOME's Wait/Force-Quit dialog just for the duration of the game (no extra dependency — no gamescope needed).
