Lau Setup 1.4.1 installer-only compatibility hotfix
What changes
Lau Setup 1.4.1 recognizes installed enGB, ptBR, and itIT 3.3.5a clients. It preserves the client-selected locale and writes only the normal Lau-managed root and matching active-locale targets.
The release catalog maps those three clients to the existing verified English visual assets. This avoids a false “missing matching language files” rejection while keeping the mapping visible, reviewable, and testable in release metadata.
What does not change
- Game release remains 3.0.9 Lau;
/pyversionremains 3.0.9. - The nine existing localized game locales and their assets are unchanged.
- This does not install a base language pack, alter
WTF\\Config.wtf, rename archives, or add Portuguese or Italian game-text translations. - No DBC edits.
- Existing server-specific visual reports and map/loading-screen reports remain backlog items.
Validation performed and production scope
- 74 Windows isolated regression groups passed, including install, repeat-install, option-switch, interrupted-operation, exact restore, and configured-locale coverage for
enGB,ptBR, anditIT. - Readback tests prove English visual source assets reach only the selected locale’s managed targets.
- The packaged ZIP and source archive were verified before publication.
Runtime validation for a representative real enGB, ptBR, and itIT client is intentionally deferred to production feedback for this edge-case installer hotfix. Report the exact client folder layout, locale, selected options, installer log and a screenshot if a compatibility path fails.
