Highlights

Luma Update Detection — Luma mods now check for updates automatically. When a newer Luma-Framework build is released, your installed Luma games will show an update badge just like RenoDX and ReShade do. The installed build number is also displayed in the component status (e.g. "Build 428").

New Features

• Luma mods now show update badges and the installed build number in the detail panel. The install button shows "Update Luma" when an update is available.
• RE Engine games can now install ReShade without RE Framework. Uncheck RE Framework in the Update Inclusion dialog and the ReShade install button unlocks immediately — no app restart or refresh needed.
• The Update Inclusion dialog now refreshes the detail panel instantly when you save, so changes like enabling or disabling RE Framework take effect without clicking Refresh.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed preset shader install doing nothing when shader cache was turned off. The app now fetches any missing shader pack info before resolving which packs a preset needs, so presets work regardless of your cache setting.
• Fixed the shader mode not visually switching to "Select" after installing a preset from the right-click flyout or the mass preset deploy in Settings. The overrides panel now updates immediately.
• Fixed the uninstall (red X) buttons for RenoDX, ReLimiter, and Display Commander disappearing when ReShade was uninstalled. You can now always remove installed components even if ReShade isn't present.
• Fixed drag-and-drop mod installs from Discord (and other sources) being silently ignored when a background dialog (like an update check) was still open. Dialogs now queue instead of being skipped.
• Fixed RE Framework failing to download with a 404 error. The nightly releases switched from per-game zips to a single monolithic build — the app now downloads REFramework.zip which works for all RE Engine games.
• Fixed Luma games (Hollow Knight: Silksong, Metro Redux, etc.) falsely showing a ReShade update badge. Luma bundles its own ReShade version, so the update check now skips games in Luma mode.
• Fixed the app hanging for up to 40+ seconds on startup when PCGamingWiki is down. The PCGW lookup now has a 5-second timeout and automatically disables itself for the session after the first failure.

Under the Hood

• Major structural cleanup: large service files split into focused modules, duplicated hotkey and dialog code consolidated into shared helpers, and unused legacy code removed. No behavior changes — just a cleaner foundation for future features.
