Now there is more visible and consistent information such as the number
of patches and how far you're into the patching process. It's harder to
close or quit the window while patching to prevent errors, and
installing patches no longer freezes the window.
And fixes an issue where the boot component would never properly update.
This improves the flow drastically, first by porting it from MobileForm
to FormCard. Next, it fixes some of the annoying bugs such as the
profile not switching properly when adding a new profile. Selecting an
existing game path is now possible, and it's less likely you can enter
in invalid account credentials. The overall look and behavior of some
of the pages is improved.
In the rare situation where the goatcorp servers are offline, they
shouldn't prevent a profile from launching. This adds an option to
quickly disable Dalamud if needed.
The windows should properly close when necessary, and the setup can no
longer loop itself because it didn't re-read the game version. You can
now select another profile's game installation when setting up a new
profile.
This includes Japanese, English, German and French - instead of being stuck to English only. I don't have access to a
Chinese or Korean client, so these options are not available.
Not every domain and server will be around forever, so now you can configure the two Square Enix domains used for login
and patching. And you can configure the Dalamud domain used to download assets, etc.
The data directory has been rearranged, and all the Dalamud data is
stored separately, so it's no longer clogging up everything. Dalamud
logs (and our own logs, when that's implemented) now exist in
XDG_STATE_HOME, instead of the data directory.
The game directory now exists under the data directory, instead of
~/.wine. The user path is set before launching the game, and it now
exists under the data directory too. These are also prefixed to the
user and profile UUID that it belongs to.
The "keep patches" option is now implemented (which is off by default)
and it lives in the temporary directory now.
