@LRFLEW LRFLEW released this 19 Feb 09:52

This version adds the following changes and features:

  • No longer depends on libarchive. This means that this can now be built on Windows. Official builds are provided below.
  • Update alerts are now added. It will check for a newer Github release and prompt users with a link to the latest version. Auto-updates are not implemented yet.

This updates is recommended for all users. This also includes the changes in v0.0.2, which are:

  • The web view has been replaced by a static image. This improves stability, avoids the irrelevant messages that appears, and decreases the number of dependent Qt5 modules.
  • There's now an Options window that allows you to edit nearly all the settings of the game. This is useful for setting up the path to the original game (particularly on Linux, where the dialog box hasn't been implemented).

Windows Users: If you have run OpenRCT2 before, it is highly recommended that you DO NOT open Options until playing the game once through the Launcher. There was a major change recently to OpenRCT2, and without running the change, the game_path variable may get corrupted and prevent launching the game.

Linux Users: This build is not self-contained. You should use your package manager to get all the dependent libraries. The required libraries are zlib, openssl, and qt5 (specifically, the submodules core, gui, widgets, network, and multimedia). These do not need to be the dev versions. For example, on Debian and Ubuntu, it is sufficient to run:
sudo apt-get install zlib1g libssl1.0.0 libqt5core5a libqt5gui5 libqt5widgets5 libqt5network5 libqt5multimedia5
