Version Release v33 [CDN Migration] (Patreon)
Content
This update has been in the works for a good while now (I couldn't really work on Vorecade for a while due to some pressing IRL things), and finally it's out! This update mainly focuses on the CDN migration and a whole lot of background work related to it.
Down below is the changelog as usual, thank you for your support!
v33
CDN has been moved. Please report any issues you encounter with the website or the client. The download speed should be faster now. I'd love to hear your download performance feedback!
- Added a Verify Game Files feature to the client on the Library page. This feature will check the game files for any corruption or missing files and will attempt to fix them if any issues are found. This feature is available for all games that are installed on your system. Due to the scale Vorecade operates on, unlike some other apps, this feature will download the whole game again and replace the corrupted files. This feature is still in beta and might not work as intended. Please report any issues you encounter with this feature.
- Client now reports corrupted/missing metafiles to you in the library, you can use the Verify Game Files feature to fix these issues.
- Optimized the profile firefly effect to pause as soon as the page is not visible to save resources.
- Firefly effect now has a more natural initial start state other than the previous "burst" effect.
- Optimized the firefly effect to use draw calls more efficiently.
- Decreased the CPU load the firefly effect caused by around 40-50%.
- Image load error now sizes itself more moderately. A "better" error handling is in the works for the gallery system too. (Hopefully when the Gallery system sees the light of day)
- Fixed a long standing bug where the client would freeze as soon as user clicked on the "Install" button on a game and a bug that glitched the install state of newly installed games.
- Markdown content does line breaks properly now if the content itself doesn't insert line breaks itself.- Markdown codeblocks now has a background to differentiate them. (More in line with how Discord does it)
- Markdown codeblocks now has a rounded border.
- Image optimizer has been added to the website. It will optimize images uploaded to the website to save bandwidth and storage space. This feature processese all images on your device. This feature is still in beta. Please report any issues you encounter with this feature.
- Added a In-Memory cache for faster image loading. This should further improve the loading times of images on the website. You can disable this feature in the user settings if you want to.
- Added an option to clear disk and memory cache in the user settings.
- Fixed the typo "successfull"y.
- Added the option to set your custom color theme in the user settings.
- The download page has been largely revamped! Check it out! https://vorecade.com/download
Known Issues - The update button might still show up after the game is updated. This is a known issue and will be (hopefully) fixed in the future.
v34 - Hotfix
- Fixed a bug where Vorecade would fail to install a runtime library it depended upon in certain cases.- File explorer bugs fixed in the Content Manager.
