Collapse Launcher v1.0.10 [Codename: Dread Life]

Welcome to the first Stable Release of Collapse Launcher!

Hi! this is me, @neon-nyan... A developer of this launcher project.

I'm really glad to tell you that this launcher has been finally touched to the ground after 4 - 6 months of development, releasing a Stable Release for the first time!

While at the same time, I'm waiting for WinUI 3 (v1.1) to come out that will bring some major changes that this launcher needs. Including "Run as Administrator" feature, new window on different or same thread, deploy with WinUI 3 dependencies (so you don't need to install the runtime), and many more!

Unfortunately, Cutscenes and Subtitle Fix feature hasn't been come out yet but don't worry, I will bring this feature soon!

Without further ado, Let's see what's new in this realase from previous version!

What's new?

• Adding Support for Genshin Impact Game Client.
  Including these supported releases:
  • Genshin Impact (Global Release)
  • 原神 (Mainland China's Release)

• Adding HPatchUtil for Genshin's Update Delta Patch mechanism

• Change Fatal Error URL
• Increment 2 seconds on retrying to load region
• Fix CheckRunningGameInstance() not watching game other than Honkai
• Adding flag for Preview build
• Fix launcher throwing an exception while file isn't exist in Genshin

How to Install?
