---

OSOL v1.09f

NOTES:

• If you're having issues with any games run from Epic Games Launcher make sure to check the project Wiki for EGL specific instructions.
• This release will overwrite old config data (excluding Paths) when migrating to the new config format. Also there's a potential for bugs. Use the issue tracker if you encounter any.
• If you've already downloaded the v1.09f (beta) this release is identical.

Changes from previous stable version (v1.08d):

• Added config file migration to preserve the [Paths] section when OSOL is upgraded
• Added parent/child/grandchild tracking for improved launcher/game detection
• All of OSOL's internal behavior has been rewritten to be faster and more resilient to aberrant process behavior.
• Config file handling has been completely redesigned (for maintainability going forward).
• Process handling has been made more intelligent with respect to games and launchers:
  • OSOL will now use LauncherURI when provided before using LauncherPath
  • OSOL will now track children, grand-children, and great-grand-children run from OSOL so titles that use a proxy launcher like Dauntless, Diablo 3, and others should be automatically detected once run.
  • Origin, Battle.net, Epic Games Launcher, and UPlay should behave as before, but benefit from the improvements to process monitoring mentioned above.
• Deprecated, added, and changed several configuration options in the .ini file:
  • The PreGameWaitTime option has been added to provide a delay before a game is launched.
  • Deprecated underused CommandlineProxy option as a result of the above rewrite.
  • Deprecated obsolete LauncherMode option as a result of the above rewrite.
  • Adjusted timeouts for the new process monitoring behavior.
  • Renamed the ForceLauncher option to AutoGameLaunch to avoid confusion.
  • Deprecated TerminateOSOLUponLaunch option as a result of the AutoGameLaunch behavior.
  • Renamed PreLaunchExec and PostGameExec options to PreLaunchExecPath and PostGameExecPath to avoid confusion.
  • Rearranged the sorting of Path options into the [Path] section rather than being split between that and [Options].
  • Added a new immutable ReleaseVersion tag for future use in determining (in)compatible options to migrate or remove automatically as necessary.
• Updated the /help argument dialog to match the new config options outlined above.

OSOL v1.08d

Changes from the previous stable version (v1.08):

• Added a pretty application icon (special thanks to CriticalComposer)
• Fixed an exception when reacquiring the game process after exiting in some circumstances
• Fixed bugs in launcher window detection for a variety of launchers (Battle.net in particular)
• Fixed a bug that caused OSOL to exit early when launching some games (The Division 2 and others)
• Updated some launcher window strings (more accurately detects Uplay, Epic, and Battle.net launchers)

Make sure to let OSOL recreate its INI file when using this release. Some defaults have changed due to the new process detection mechanism.

OSOL v1.08

Changes from the previous stable version:

• Fixed some launchers not being detected properly (Epic Games Launcher)
• Fixed some games not being detected if their launcher started up minimized
• Fixed LauncherMode=URI not working if LauncherPath was blank (native Steam games)
• Improved the reliability of process detection when dealing with anti-cheat proxies (EasyAntiCheat, BattleEye, etc)
• Added a new INI option InterProcessAcquisitionTimeout that controls how long OSOL will wait for a process to respawn itself
• Major overhaul of process detection and monitoring (should work more smoothly when games/launchers update/restart themselves)

NOTE: I've tested this new process detection and monitoring pretty thoroughly, but it could still have some bugs and edge cases I've not thought to test. If you experience odd behavior please don't hesitate to report it.

Make sure to let OSOL recreate its INI file when using this release. Some defaults have changed due to the new process detection mechanism.

OSOL v1.07g (prerelease)

Changes from the previous stable version (v1.07d):

• Reimplemented process detection to workaround anti-cheat process spawning (Apex Legends, Siege, etc) (v1.07g)
• Fixed some games not being detected if their launcher starts minimized (v1.07f)
• Fixed Epic Games Launcher not being detected in URI mode (v1.07e)

NOTE: There may be bugs with the new process detection method in v1.07g. Don't hesitate to report any odd behavior.

• Implemented cleanup function for system tray icons upon exiting OSOL
• Improved process detection to better support using any executable as a launcher (for using SC Gyro for CemuHook (by FrogTheFrog) and Cemu together)

For specifics and information on any particular features make sure to check out the OSOL Project Wiki.
