1.83.13 Stable [Codename: Luna]

We've recently released a new launcher status tracker! Head on over to https://status.collapselauncher.com to see it!

Guess who's back, back again? Guess who's back, guess who's back? That's right! It's the Dev Team with a new mainline Stable release!

This release brings Stable in line with the new features present in Preview. This includes, but is not limited to: plugin subsystem, .NET 10 migration, Miliastra Wonderland support and a lot of bug fixing!

New: Plugin Subsystem

This is by far the most ambitious and difficult feature we've worked on. Through this, you may now launch additional games through Collapse, taking advantage of all its features and fluidity!

Please keep in mind that in order for this feature to work, you need to install the corresponding plugin. Plugins are managed through the App Settings page, by clicking on the "Open Plugin Management Menu" button. A list of plugins can be found on our website.

The plugins update process follows a similar procedure to metadata updates, though you can choose not to update the plugin if you want. No support will be given if you are on an outdated version of a plugin.

Plugins are created by 3rd-party developers and are not subject to Collapse policies. Because of this, we can't actively provide support to users that use plugins that are not developed by Collapse developers. Here's a list of currently-available plugins:

• Heaven Burns Red
  • Engine: Unity 2021.x (2020.3.15f2)

We ask that, should you have any issues, you open a ticket on the respective repositories. The owner will be able to assist you further. Plugins made by the core development team are supported on the latest version only.

New: Support for updating Miliastra Wonderland package

Just like HoYoPlay, Collapse can now update the Miliastra Wonderland package for Genshin Impact. There's a new icon for it too!

Update: Switch to .NET10 for Collapse builds

Collapse now runs on .NET10! Because of that, we are able to bring numerous performance improvements to our builds, which run on NativeAOT. You can check out most changes brought through .NET10 here.

1.82.36 Stable [Codename: Natlan]

We've recently released a new launcher status tracker! Head on over to https://status.collapselauncher.com to see it!

Hi, CryoTechnic here o/

It's been a bit since the last preview update. While we've been hard at work with Plugins and other cool things, we've had to release this update. This isn't something we wanted to do, but to preserve the safety of our users, it's what has to be done.

Due to a reported recent ban for using the Mobile Layout feature, we are disabling it for now by force. While the ban seems to be only applicable for co-op play and is currently limited to Genshin Impact, we're not taking a risk with it and are choosing to disable this feature until we are sure that it is safe to use for our users.

If you have similar issues with this feature and/or other features that are known to cause issues with account standing (whether it be a suspension or a ban), please contact us immediately.

If you are from HoYo, thank you, for doing this to your players, I'm sure that the cloud subscription you guys are offering (among other things but we won't be opening that can of worms today) is worth it!

Asset Availability post-delete Feature Status

Currently, only Zenless Zone Zero and Honkai: Impact 3rd support ignoring assets for past mission resources. Support for other titles is pending and will be released in the next version.

Servicing/Maintenance Mode Phase

Version 1.82.17 onwards will mark the "Servicing/Maintenance Mode" part of our development cycle, meaning that 1.82.xx releases will no longer get any improvements or new features, unless any urgent changes or bug fixes need to be pushed or backported from our Preview branch.

Other new features, improvements and changes will be pushed in preview release, 1.83.xx [Codename: Luna].
Hit us on our Official Discord or Create an Issue if you have ideas what features or changes you want to have in later 1.83.xxx or future release.

More information regarding the changes can also be found in the changelog below👇

• [Imp] Update Discord RPC submodule, by @bagusnl

  • Re-implement Generic file parsing and updating
  • Process Audio and Block fetching in parallel simulatneously
  • Make KianaDispatch and SenadinaFileResult fetch asynchronously
  • Improve CDN caching mechanism
  • Reimplement Audio & Video file parsing and updating

  • ProgressPerFile counters are now containing how many bytes of downloadable data instead of the byte size of each of progressing files
  • Add additional speed counter on ProgressAll status to the UI
  • Simplify base.ProgressBase PopRepairAssetEntry()
  • Refactor Unused files checking mechanism
  • HonkaiRepairV2 now uses its own new UpdateProgressCounter() method to update the ProgressAll or ProgressPerFile counters
