GameLauncher 2.1.8.6
CHANGELOG:
New:
-
UserSettings Editor now has "Presets" to select custom performance "like" levels
-
"Enable Alternative WebCalls" added to Settings Screen
-- This allows for changing the method for sending/fetching requests and data
-- Some Connection quality types may need "WithTimeout" to work properly (Enabled/Checked), while many don't (Unchecked, Default).
-- This allows the user to choose based on their experience. -
SecurityCenter:
-- Allows for user control of executing File/Folder permissions, Firewall and Defender
-- This is changed from "automagically" running which would occasionally hang/close or otherwise prevent the Launcher from loading correctly.
