    With version 0.9.9, we’re taking an important step forward:👉 The project is moving from Alpha to Beta. This means the core systems are now considered stable, and future updates will focus more on polishing, balancing, and expanding features rather than fundamental changes.

    🚀 Update 0.9.9 – Stability, UI Improvements & Better Control

    With version 0.9.9, the focus was on stability, usability, and overall polish:

    • 🎵 Improved music playback stability
      • The MusicService has been reworked to properly synchronize MediaPlayer access, preventing cross-thread issues and ensuring more reliable behavior.
    • ⚙️ New reset options in Settings
      • You can now easily reset UI scale and music volume via dedicated buttons. Auto-save behavior has also been improved.
    • ⚡ Smoother UI during rapid updates
      • Progress handling has been optimized to keep the interface responsive, even during frequent or fast updates.
    • 🌐 Better handling of network interruptions
      • Downloads and updates are now safely canceled when the connection is lost. Cleanup during application shutdown has also been improved.
    • 🎨 Refined user interface
      • More consistent Settings layout
      • Improved appearance and behavior of list items
    • 🎮 Fixes for offline and single-player modes

    the game has certain files for the market system that are always updated, usually between 30 and 50 files.

    So above that then there is an update OP has done and it includes several other files or your installation is out of sync and more files have to be updated

  • Crossfire Launcher - Beta Version

    Yes i currently cannot include them as that would be overwritten by the Launcher Self-Update. The logic for this is included but the UI controls are hidden as long the settings for them are missing. Thats by purpose - and as you said there are changes to it nonetheless.

    What about using 0 as fixed_height. As far as i could find out:


    Value Meaning

    > 0 The font mapper transforms this value into device units and matches it against the cell height of the available fonts.

    0 The font mapper uses a default height value when it searches for a match.

    < 0 The font mapper transforms this value into device units and matches its absolute value against the character height of the available fonts.


    Probable the font height is then calculated by round (fixed_height * screen height). While when its bigger than 0 it defined more the cell height instead of the actual font size. As the fonts.ini contains several entries for different sizes i think its more like a visual adjustment based where the font is used and how big it shall appear (button, header, subheader, list etc.). But a value of 0.025 or 0.02 should be the same size when the same resolution is used. Could test this later with 0 and < 0 values and compare how that looks and how it changes....
