lug-helper v2.2

Automagicification!

• The Helper will now (optionally) automagically configure Lutris to use downloaded runners and DXVKs! Auto-parsing yml like a boss!

Game Fixes Galore!

• The Lutris install json has been updated with fixes for the new RSI launcher version woes
• Preflight Check now looks for a minimum Lutris version
• Preflight Check is now aware that winetricks comes bundled with Lutris. It recommends configuring the game to use it instead of the system winetricks when appropriate
• Improvements to the EAC workaround: Now handles modifying the hosts file and deleting the EAC directory independently for situations where just one has already been done
• Added official doitsujin dxvk releases to the dxvk install options. Get that DXVK 2.1!

Other changes

• Better preservation of error messages when in terminal fallback mode (Zenity is not installed, or forced with --use-gui=no)
• Added a missing dependency check for findutils, needed by xargs
• Now 50% more sane thanks to the addition of more sanity checks
• Minor code refactoring, fixes, and cleanup

lug-helper v2.1

Delete all the things!

• New and improved runner/dxvk removal system ⛔
• Select multiple items and remove them all at once! Go crazy! But maybe not too crazy!

Other changes

• Added a minimum winetricks version requirement to the preflight check
• Fixed an issue with Lutris flatpak detection when both the stable and beta channels are installed
• Fixed an issue where the Helper would not fallback to terminal menus if zenity is broken

lug-helper v2.0

The Helper has evolved quite a bit from its origins as a simple user directory cleanup tool. Many thanks to everyone in the LUG community who has contributed ideas, code, and testing to make this tool everything it has become today!

A significant amount of underlying code has changed with this release, so I think it's time to call it version 2.0 🎉

Flatpak support!

• Now supports flatpak installations of Lutris! Happy dance! 💃
• Automagically detects and downloads runners/dxvks to the flatpak install; native install; or, if you're really crazy, both! 🤪

Updated install json!

• The Lutris installation json has been updated with the current Star Citizen launcher version 🪛
• It also installs the latest GE-SC runner, which contains a built-in EAC workaround 🔧
• To complete the EAC workaround, it sets a pre-launch command in Lutris that deletes the EAC directory each time the game is started 🔨

Other changes

• Fixed some cases where the Helper wouldn't restart Lutris
• Fixed re-downloading an already installed runner/dxvk
• Improved cleanup of temporary download files
• Better error handling when trying to execute commands with pkexec or sudo
• Clarified glibc messages for systems without it (flatpak)
• Display new shaders path in Maintenance and Troubleshooting->Display Helper and Star Citizen directories
• TKG removed from runner sources; they've migrated to CI builds that we don't support at this time
• Removed dependency on zstd (was needed for TKG runners)
• Many minor fixes and improvements
• Much code cleanup and restructuring
• So yum. So wow! 😋

lug-helper v1.21

New runner source: TKG

• TKG likely to adress https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52956 first, so now we're prepared ;)

lug-helper v1.20

Updated Shaders Location

• Now compatible with the changes to the shaders directory introduced in alpha 3.17!

lug-helper v1.19

New DXVK source from gnusenpai

• Patched with a fix for nVidia RTX cards
• Includes async patches

lug-helper v1.18

Improvements

• Added swap space to the Preflight Check
• Updated DXVK post-download instructions to clarify that the DXVK_ASYNC environment variable must be set
• Changed libglesv2 override to builtin instead of disabled for new installs of the game

lug-helper v1.17

EAC Workaround Improvements

• Detects if the workaround is already applied
• Now works even if the EAC files haven't been downloaded yet by the game launcher

Other changes

• Fixed detecting Helper install paths that include spaces (Thanks LarelaLS!)

lug-helper v1.16

Systemd drop-ins!

• Use a systemd drop-in file for setting the open file descriptors limit instead of editing system.conf directly. Easily undo the changes by deleting the file!
• Consistencify filenames used for systemd drop-ins. It now follows the pattern 20-starcitizen-[config name].conf for easy identification

Other changes

• Updated the launcher in the Lutris install script to v1.5.5
• Minor updates and clarifications to errors and other messages

lug-helper v1.15

Link to the wiki! Get all the help!

• New option in the Maintenance and Troubleshooting menu to link you to our wiki!
• The wiki URL is also now clickable everywhere it shows up. Brilliant!

Other changes

• Removed dependency on bc
• Improved comments and tidied some code
• White launcher fix in the Lutris installer thanks to @ananace!
