⚠️ This release makes breaking changes to almost everything! Handlers, profiles, and prefixes from previous PartyDeck versions will not work in this version! I recommend backing up any profile save data you have and then completely wiping the ~/.local/share/partydeck/ folder and starting over.
Changelog
- The handler format has been reworked to allow for easier loading, saving and creation. Along with this, the new GUI handler creation wizard allows anyone to add support for their games in just a minute or two! Simply click the
+button in the games list to get started. For games that include mods or require a more complicated setup to launch, handler packages can be imported just like before by clicking the⬇button, and handlers can be exported by right-clicking the handler and selectingExport. - Profiles are now automatically given their own Windows user data (AppData/Documents) and $HOME folder for Linux games. In addition, game folders are now mounted with a profile "gamesave" folder on top so that profiles can hold their own unique save data even for games that store that save data in their own folders rather than in the aforementioned user data folders. Note that this requires
fuse-overlayfsto be installed (SteamOS includes this already). - Instances are run in separate Proton prefixes by default now, as this seems to be generally less problematic when running Windows games. You can still disable this and run all instances in one prefix if you wish to save disk space and the games you play aren't impacted.
- Various tweaks and additions to the UI
I'm sure that with the amount of stuff refactored or overhauled that there will be new bugs and problems. If you notice any missing functionality, games that previously worked being broken, or crashes, feel free to write up an issue. Enjoy!
