What's changed? - 1.82.22

• [Fix] Honkai Impact 3rd 8.2 Game Repair Changes - Annotated from 8e9aee2
  • This main change was to bring back Game Repair and Delta-Patch support for Stable due to breaking changes that were introduced by HoYo in Honkai Impact 3rd v8.2 update.
  • The hash have been changed from MD5 to MMH64B and it should now be fully implemented in Collapse.
  • Let us know if you have any issue with it!
• [Imp] Introduce Sophon Patch Mode - Annotated from #714
  • This changes implements a new update mode for Sophon which is currently in A/B Testing phase for the official HoYoPlay launcher.
  • Sophon Patch Update mode brings a much improved download pipeline and update efficiency as this method involves not only Copy-Over method, but also Patch-Over method via HDiffPatch.
  • This results a much smaller download footprint compared to the old Copy-Over only method. As an example of this, we compared Genshin Impact 5.4.0 -> 5.5.0 update between the Old and New method.
• [Fix] Zip to Sophon force fallback - Annotated from #733
  • As per Genshin Impact 5.6.0 preload today, miHoYo just removed Zip packages on HoYoPlay API. This caused our launcher unable to detect or determine update state due to the main dependencies to Zip packages only.
  • This release fixes the issue by checking if Zip is unavailable, then tell the GameVersionManager to fallback by forcefully redirect the install/update/preload methods to Sophon mode. This releases also fixes the same issue if HoYo might remove the Zip packages to other games in the future.

What's New? - 1.83.0

External DNS Support, by @neon-nyan

Ability to set the DNS request to specific server just for the launcher. Supports plain DNS (UDP/53), DNS over HTTPS (DoH), and DNS over TLS (DoT). Includes 3 predefined DNS providers, Cloudflare ($cloudflare), Google ($google), and quad9 ($quad9). User can customize to use other DNS provider(s) and use multiple all at once as a fallback.

Search on App Settings, by @bagusnl & @neon-nyan

Tired of scrolling all of our launcher MASSIVE tunable options? Us too! That's why we have implemented a way to search all the available settings by just typing it, then you can navigate by using arrows to get to the settings you want. Works in all of our supported locales!

Sophon Patch for Game Update Implementation, by @neon-nyan

HoYo recently released what we called "Sophon Patch Mode" for game update. This method is different than the older "Sophon Chunk" as the patch method compares the entire file instead of replacing part of the file like in chunk method. This leads to Pre-download size reduction on Genshin Impact (EN+JP VO) from 15.97 GB with Sophon Chunk to 5.92 GB (almost a third of the size). Pretty good work on HoYo side, but we observed only a few of HoYoplay users have them.

With our implementation, everyone can use them! (As long as it's provided in the game's update data from HoYo). You can also disable them the same way as you disable the Sophon Chunk method.

Other changes:

• [New] Kill other instance that doesn't have window, by @bagusnl
• [Imp] Improved WebView panel backend, by @bagusnl
  • Immediately dispose and release all related resources on panel close.
  • Ensures WebView instance is available before the UI is displayed and interactable.
• [Imp] Move our release CI to GitHub action, by @bagusnl
  • Everyone can now monitor all of our release easily by opening the Action tab. You can also verify all the binaries were coming from the build as we upload both the unsigned and the signed build in the artifacts of the run.
  • The move from AppVeyor to GitHub is due to annoying fact that AppVeyor has a very long initialization time before the CI is even run, and also with separate config that we can only test when putting up a release meaning everytime the CI breaks especially on an emergency release, it is quite a feat to fix in terms of how much time it takes for both waiting and fixing it, also the sanity of the CI maintainer due to how annoying the CI config looks/
  • By moving to GitHub Actions, we can monitor the CI availability as its the same commands that gets run every time we push a commit. So, when it breaks, we know before any release and can fix it easily.
• [Fix] Increase DiscordRPC connection issue wait time to 5s, by @bagusnl
  • Decrease the spam when RPC can't connect with the server, usually when Discord is not yet loaded.
• [Fix] Implemented the new hashing and repair method for Hi3 v8.2, by @neon-nyan
  • The hash have been changed from MD5 to MMH64B and it should now be fully implemented in Collapse.
  • Let us know if you have any issue with it!
• [Fix] Zip to Sophon force fallback - Annotated from #733
  • As per Genshin Impact 5.6.0 preload today, miHoYo just removed Zip packages on HoYoPlay API. This caused our launcher unable to detect or determine update state due to the main dependencies to Zip packages only.
