What's new

Dual auto-haptics loopback

The haptics loopback now captures from both your Arctis headset and your HDMI output — whichever is playing audio at the moment will drive vibrations. Both loopbacks are passive (activate only when their sink is active) so there's no feedback loop if the dongle disconnects.

No more AppImage

The Linux desktop app is now distributed as a tar.gz of the unpacked Electron binary. This eliminates the ~26 s startup delay caused by FUSE/squashfuse on some systems — cold start is now ~500 ms.

AUR (ds5-audio-haptics-bt) — update via paru -Syu as usual
Fedora/RHEL (COPR) — update via dnf upgrade
Any distro — download ds5-audio-haptics-bt-0.3.1-linux-x64.tar.gz below

Fixes

• node.dont-reconnect=true on each loopback playback node prevents fallback to speakers if the dongle is unplugged at runtime
• Added ExecStartPre guard (waits up to 15 s for ds5_dongle_sink to appear) to handle boot/plug race with WirePlumber
