Install

  1. Download launchme-0.1.8-win64.zip below and unpack it anywhere (over an older version keeps everything).
  2. Run launchme\launchme.exe. No installer and no Visual C++ Redistributable are needed.

Settings, keys and caches stay in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Launchme. Full history: changelog.

New

  • Updates from GitHub (Settings → System → Updates; Check for updates on by default): every few hours
    Launchme asks GitHub for a newer release (never while a game runs) and tells you once, pointing to
    Settings → System. Its row there, and in the desktop window an icon on the top bar, updates with one
    click: the package is downloaded next to launchme.exe, its SHA-256 checked, the files swapped in
    (your own plugins and settings stay) and Launchme restarts. A game in progress, a damaged package or a
    version that will not start leave everything as it was. Check now asks at once.
  • What's new: the first start after an update shows the new version's changes once (scroll with the
    arrows, the stick or the wheel; OK, Enter, A or B closes it).
  • Achievement card (Details → Achievements, TV mode and the desktop window): Enter/A or a click on an
    achievement opens its card with a larger icon, its name, the whole description, when it was earned and
    its rarity (a word, the share of players and a bar). Left/Right show the neighbours; Back, Esc, B or a
    click beside it return to the list.

Changes

  • Installing shows its progress on the button: Details, the library's detailed views and the desktop
    window's Details show the phase and percent with a bar (or a moving segment while the size is not
    known) instead of "Downloading in Steam", for GOG, Epic and Battle.net installs too.
