Attention

This release is based on RegionSelectorRefactor branch for PR: #24 Game Selector Refactor and Adding 崩壊3rd (Japanese PC Client) Support Pull Request. The changes might be still in-progress.

The launcher is now moving to .NET 7-rc1 too. Please consider to update the launcher by reinstalling instead from built-in updater feature to avoid big size update.

What's New?

- [Launcher/Runtime] Per-category based game & region selection (based on PR: #24).

2022-09-26.02-48-24.mp4

- [Honkai Impact 3rd] New 崩壊3rd (Japanese PC Client) Support.

Yes, you heard it right!. This isn't something new though. The Official Launcher was actually available since 5.8 but you have to download it via Google Play Store for PC and you must have Japanese Google Account to get it. To make it reachable for everyone, this version is now coming to Collapse Launcher!

What's New?

- [Launcher] New Rounded Buttons and UI Minor Adjustment.

You might notice that there are some minor changes on the UI, including the new cylindrical button and few adjustment on notification, acrylic style, etc.

- [Launcher] Minor UI Adjustment for Notification on Dark Theme.

- [Launcher] New Update Experience using the same In-Launcher Update Page.

- [Launcher] Implement Instant Region Load with Asynchronous Background Loading.

In this version, we've been optimizing the load time while you're switching the regions and asynchronously changing the background respectively. We've also optimized the load time of accent color generation to make the accent color and the background changed at the same time.

Now you can choose your game before getting into the launcher and install it. This hopefully could get rid of any confusion for new users and reduce any chance of accidentally download the wrong game client.

2022-09-19.02-23-13.mp4

- [Honkai Impact 3rd] Rollback Mechanism on Delta Patch Update Mechanism

We are now implementing the rollback feature to prevent the user to redownload the game if delta patch update is failed or uncompleted. Not really big change but useful for most cases.

Artwork by: TOMOGY

- [Honkai Impact 3rd] Add an Ability to Cancel Game Conversion (Also Rollback Mechanism if the Conversion has Failed)

Not only rollback mechanism for Delta Patch Update, we also introduces the Cancel mechanism for Game Conversion.
Also with the implementation of Rollback Mechanism for Game Conversion, now you don't need to worry about your game getting deleted because of failure while converting your game.


Known Issue:

  • [Launcher] The launcher will crash while updating and downloading caches (Issue: #22)
    This is due to regression caused by removal of some unused DispatcherQueue which is unnecessary in WinUI 3 1.1.5 while the app is still using WinUI 3 1.1.4 while compiled.

What's Fixed?

- [Launcher/Runtime] Fixed the WebView2 not Terminated while Unused.

Previously, the WebView2 processes don't get terminated if the build-in browser closed and making additional memory consumption. In this version, the WebView2 processes are now terminated once the build-in browser is closed.

Pre-release

Note

This build will going to be the Release Candidate for the next stable version. You may find this new build has bigger size than previous one due to some dependencies used to fix a bug related to this WindowsAppSDK Issue.

Update August 3rd 2022:

As per build 1.0.36.1, we are now switching to native wrapper to Win32 Calls of File and Folder picker instead of using WinCopies.WindowsAPICodePack.Shell. That means, the build size is now similar to the previous build.

The builds that have been released in the last 2-3 weeks are aimed to give more stability and also improves the overall performance of the launcher. As your support that you have been giving to us, we really thank you all so much to make this project possible. Hope we can bring this project better overtime.

Collapse 1.0.36.3-Hotfix Stable

Welcome back to another stable release of Collapse~
In this release, we are focused on launcher stability, bug fixes and some performance improvements.

As we promised, we bring back the Game Repair feature back to Genshin Impact! But we are still finding a way to bring the support of the feature to 原神 [Mainland China's Genshin Client] T__T)

We don't want to use any illegal way to get the dispatcher key by making a fake account but if you know the key, please DM me on Discord at DreadCode#9025

Also, as you might already know that in the preview build of 1.0.36.0, you noticed that the build size has been increased by 15 - 20 MB. This is due to some dependencies used to fix a bug related to this WindowsAppSDK Issue. Hope we can decrease the size back once the issue has been fixed in WinUI 3 1.2 release.

Update August 3rd 2022:

As per build 1.0.36.1, we are now switching to native wrapper to Win32 Calls of File and Folder picker instead of using WinCopies.WindowsAPICodePack.Shell. That means, the build size is now similar to the previous build.

Anyway, without waiting any further, Let's jump in!


What's new?

From Current Version (August 25th, 2022)

  • [Runtime] Update NuGet packages
    • Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK (1.1.3 -> 1.1.4)
    • Microsoft.Windows.SDK.NET (10.0.18362.26 -> 10.0.19041.26)

From v1.0.36.1 (August 2nd, 2022)

2022-08-02.12-55-38.mp4

From v1.0.35.5-Preview (July 30th, 2022)

  • [Launcher/Runtime] Now the region change mechanism taking much less time to load while using large custom background.

Thanks to these d9e6725, 4c4fe84 and 374768a commits. The launcher will not reload the image if custom background is used and using separate async Task to ChangeBackgroundImageAsRegion() method for loading image at start up or region change and Retryable FetchLauncherLocalizedResources() method to load localized resources, like Event Panel.

Demo (Top-Left: v1.0.35.5 build vs. Bottom-Right: v1.0.33.6 build)

2022-07-31.00-19-54.mp4

The footage shows that the v1.0.35.5 loads the region much faster than v1.0.33.6. It's because the v1.0.35.5 build will only load the custom image once. So it won't reload the image every time the region has changed.

The background used in this demo: Background sample
Image Size: 15360x8640 pixels (89 MiB - Format: png)

  • [Honkai Impact 3rd] Media Feature Pack install suggestion if it doesn't exist.

Starting from v5.8 update, the game will require Media Feature Pack to be installed. This will fix "Unable to load DLL: cri_ware_unity" error.
If it doesn't installed on your computer, the launcher will ask you to install it before starting the game.

  • [i18n - id-ID] Update Bahasa Indonesia translation and fix some typos.

  • [Runtime] Revert NuGet packages to stable release.
    • Microsoft.Windows.SDK.BuildTools (10.0.25151-preview -> 10.0.22621.1)
