The manual has been updated for v0.98.
New in 0.98
- (All) Redesigned GBM's ability to manage multiple backups per game.
- The "Timestamp each backup" option has been renamed "Save multiple backups".
- You can limit the amount of backups you keep for each game by setting a limit (2 to 100).
- GBM will keep your backup folder clean by automatically deleting old backups as limits are reached or modified.
- The Game Manager now allows you to browse and manage ALL backups for each game, not just the latest backup.
- (All) Using "Monitor Only" no longer puts any limitations on the game configuration or available features.
- (Windows Installer) The installer will now properly go into upgrade mode if a prior version of GBM is installed. Note: 32-bit and 64-bit qualify as different versions.
- (Windows Installer) The installer will now create an uninstall entry in Add/Remove Programs (Apps & Features).
- (Linux) 64-bit games running in Wine will now be properly detected.
- (Linux) Add Game Wizard will no longer remove all extensions when selecting an executable.
- (Linux) GBM now prefers to use an absolute path when creating Linux game configurations.
Important Upgrade Information
- The Game Manager will not detect old backup files made using the "Timestamp each backup" setting in prior versions.
- Configurations using the "Timestamp each backup" option will have "Save multiple backups" automatically enabled with a backup limit of 5.
- If "Timestamp each backup" is currently set to sync, then "Save multiple backups" will also be set to sync after upgrading.
For information regarding Linux, please read the FAQ.
Known Issues
- GBM has minor display issues on the main form when DPI scaling is disabled. It's recommended to leave DPI scaling on. See Issue #64.
