A new version of Legendary has been released. Legendary is an open-source game launcher that can download and install games from the Epic Games platform on Linux and Windows.
Legendary 0.20.8 - Route Kanal
Didn't think we'd see each other so soon...
This release fixes some issues related to config files that prevented the use of install tags and completely broke legendary for first time users. It also adds a feature I've been working on: Update checks! Yay!
CLI Changes
status command
- Unless ran with --offline status will now print legendary version information and update information (if available)
On exit legendary will print information about available updates.
The check for updates is done once every 24 hours when a command that also connects to epic is executed (e.g. list-games), or every time status is used. This is only enabled by default on Windows and can be turned on/off via the enable_update_check config variable on all systems.
In the future this mechanism will be expanded to cover other information that can be updated without requiring a full legendary release, such as selective downloading information or game-specific workarounds or fixes. These improvements will then also be enabled on Linux by default.
Fixes and Improvements
- Config sections will now be created if missing (fixes issues with setting install tags if a config section doesn't already exist)
- Fixed issue where legendary would be unable to create a config (Fixes #325)
- The EGL User-Agent and other information can now be updated independently from Legendary
Legendary 0.20.8
