1.72.14 [Codename: Senadina]

Collapse 1.72.14: Senadina

It's been a long time coming, and we've been quiet in the last few months to give you guys the BIGGEST Collapse update
we've ever done this year. Packed with a ton of useful features and improvements, we hope you enjoy using this as much as we did
making it!

Welcome to Collapse version 1.72.14 - Codename: Senadina!

---

What's New?

New Feature: Keyboard Shortcuts (Thanks @gablm !)

This is something we've wanted to include for about 3 releases now, but were never able to due to issues encountered in
the styling and implementation phase of this feature. We're glad to say that, after many months in testing, we're confident
that this feature is ready for prime time for you guys!

In its current iteration, this feature is enabled by default. If you would like to disable it, simply head over to the
App Settings page and toggle the "Keyboard Shorcuts" to "Disabled". No restart is required.

You can also access this menu by using the default key combination of "CTRL + Tab".

You can also rebind most of the keys, and swap modifiers should you want.

New Addition: Bilibili Region

Shipping with Collapse 1.72.14 is the inclusion of a brand new region for miHoYo / Cognosphere games: China Bilibili.
Thank you to everyone involved in the integration of the SDK and for our community for providing us with the access to add
region support!

Starting from this release, the Bilibili region will exit "Preview" and will be considered stable for general use.

We introduced this change as part of the feedback we've gotten from you guys. Please keep sharing your thoughts regarding this and future features, as it helps us improve the experience for all Collapse users!

New Addition: Full Repair for Honkai: Star Rail

Honkai: Star Rail finally gets full repair support across most regions! This feature works exactly as for all the other regions.
Please let us know if something doesn't feel right or needs to be changed!

New Feature: System Tray

Collapse can now be minimized to tray when launching a game. Collapse also has the capability to start minimized to your
system tray when first booting it up. More screen real estate!

New Feature: Launch on Boot

Alongside the tray improvements, Collapse can also start itself automatically when you first boot up your computer. By
default, we've disabled the feature, but you can toggle it on by simply going to your App Settings page and enabling
"Automatically start Collapse when your computer boots up".

Major Changes

Add support for HDR for Genshin Impact

The Game Settings page now properly supports HDR screens and will display the correct calibration images. Please note that
your monitor must support HDR to enable the feature in Genshin Impact.

---

New Community Tools - Honkai: Star Rail: KQM

KQM now has guides for Honkai: Star Rail, so we've decided to include them in our launcher, with their blessing. Thanks!

New Localization: Thai & French (Thanks @KinoDev, @armzyaec1234 @Hasukay, @zeide, @Cryotechnic)

New locales always help in making Collapse accessible to more people. Thanks everyone for their numerous contributions!

Note: Full French language support is coming in the next minor build of Collapse.

Metered Connection Mode

Collapse is now metered connection-aware. This means that if you are on a limited bandwidth, Collapse will ask you if you
would like to proceed before checking updates for Collapse and Game updates.

Minor changes

Normally we would list all the minor changes here, but due to the amount of commits, we've decided against it for this release.
Read the full changelog below!

Full Changelog: CL-v1.72.14...CL-v1.71.16

1.72.14 [Codename: Senadina]

What's New? - 1.72.14

• [Fix] Fixed Double Empty issue on SevenZipExtractor that caused full crash
• [Fix] Fixed missing subChanneID and channeID required on config.ini file
  • This fix HSR Distribution Error when launching the game #350
• [Fix] Fixed Collapse not uninstalled correctly due to missing entries on InnoSetup log files
• [Fix] Fixed HI3 7.2 CGMetadata repair stating NotFound error
• [Fix] Fixed PropVariant issue with SevenZipExtractor submodule
• [Imp] Use the new CollapseMetadata V2 on HI3 for smaller fetch and faster repair
• [Imp] Update SharpHDiffPatch submodule
• [Imp] Implement plugin API to fetch games hotfixes automatically (thanks @shatyuka !)
• [Imp] Add warning for HSR GameSettings for those who got the new Settings mechanics
  • The new settings save all game related settings into one registry key, similar to Genshin. While this is doable for us to implement, the early investigation revealed that the value of said registry is always nulled and something is indeed wrong with it. So we put a warning for those who got it that the behavior for Collapse' GSP for HSR might be unpredictable.
  • To get rid of the A/B testing that they do, you can try to reset the entire HSR registry key by deleting them in HKCU/Software/Cognosphere, find the one related to your game region and (backup first, then) delete the entire key (folder).
• [Loc] Sync translation from transifex
