Jackify v0.4.0

on GitHub

Release Date: 2026-02-25

New Features

• Structured error handling across GUI and CLI with typed JackifyError dialogs (clear message, suggested action, numbered recovery steps, optional technical detail).
• Structured engine error receiver: stderr JSON errors are parsed and mapped to user-facing error types, with exit-code fallback.
• Nexus account tier indicator in Settings OAuth ([Premium] / [Free]) with cached status checks.
• Modlist metadata support via .jackify_meta.json, written after install and used by configure workflows.
• TTW eligibility workflow expanded:
  • Configure New / Configure Existing can trigger TTW workflow when eligible.
  • CLI configure-modlist now prompts TTW when eligible.
• FO3 support in configure workflows, including prefix/registry handling.
• Standalone MO2 setup in Additional Tasks (GUI and CLI).

Bug Fixes

• Proton auto-detection reliability improved, including GE-Proton ranking and fallback behavior.
• Added detection support for system-packaged Proton layouts (Issue #162).
• Download stall false positives reduced by checking byte advancement instead of speed readout alone.
• Flatpak Steam access handling improved with install-directory override support.
• TTW installer output directory is pre-populated to the modlist location.
• Unknown game fallback behavior improved so Wine component installation can continue where appropriate.

Improvements

• GUI debug log naming standardised to jackify-debug.log.
• Error reporting/logging flow cleaned up to improve user facing info and hopefully ease support.
• "Lazy" GUI screen initialization (main menu first, other screens on demand).
• Proton handling improved with Valve Proton fallback when GE-Proton is unavailable.
• FNV/FO3/Enderal registry injection now attempts canonical C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\<Game> paths via in-prefix symlink, with fallback to real Z:/D: paths if symlink creation fails. Looking forward to feedback on this one if anyone still has their FNV launcher only show "Install" instead of "Play".

Engine Updates

• jackify-engine updated to 0.4.8.
• Archive download progress improvements (remaining size + ETA).
• Download speed reporting reliability improvements on Linux.
• ZIP extraction fixes for Cyrillic filenames.
