Issues with the current Launcher. I think.

[BillGHero]

The problem I'm posting is noticeable each time I update an installation folder.

Background: I really wanted to see the new recipes, so I started using the launcher to manage a multi-installation setup.

The launcher/updater appears bugged. When it finishes updating I am left with the new updated installation inside the "dot" folder. I assume this "dot" folder (the folder the launcher created by naming it after the target installation with a "." appended to it), is meant to be the backup folder. When the launcher runs the game it does so from the non-dot folder. However it seems to read the dot folder when it checks the version number.

The fix each time is to swap the names of the two folders. After swapping the names, the launcher will display that there's a newer version available, but clicking the "Start Game" button puts me into the newest version.


As a side note: where is this "world manager" supposed to be? I don't see that button anywhere....

I suppose you use linux?

In that case create a softlink or hardlink from the StarMade. to StarMade
fixes that issue.

For reference this issue is tracked as
Bug #970 - Linux: Updating creates mirror folder - original untouched

Cross adding this thread as reference.

Thanks Andy!

I'll try that sym-link and see if that works.
And yes, I use Linux for nearly everything.


-Edit: Yep, seems to work.

To answer your second question the world manager appears to the right of the single player check box.
