Der Faugus Launcher, ein Spielelauncher für Linux zum Verwalten von Wine- und Proton-Spielen, wurde in Version 2.5.4 veröffentlicht.

Die Release-Notes entsprechen denen der vorherigen Version 2.5.3: automatisch ausblendbare Widgets, Tooltips in den Einstellungen und eine deutlich geringere RAM-Nutzung beim Scrollen durch große Bibliotheken.

Added/Changed

• Added an option to auto-hide widgets on the main screen
• Added a progress bar to the splash window
• Updated the splash window strings
• Added tooltips to most options in the Settings window
• Most settings can now be changed in real time without restarting the app. Settings that still require a restart are marked with an asterisk (*) after their names
• The gamecontrollerdb is now updated weekly
• Categories in the Overview panel are now sorted alphabetically
• Implemented smooth scrolling
• Kept Proton runners read-only during extraction. Thanks @vsharha
• Long game titles are now truncated in List mode to prevent the window from stretching
• The absolute path is now set for PROTONPATH to prevent issues
• Improved carousel animations

Fixed

• Fixed some inconsistencies in interface customization
• Fixed an issue where scrolling would stop before reaching the end when navigating through games using the keyboard or gamepad
• Fixed an issue where the post-launch script would be killed when closing the game

Performance Improvements

• Covers and banners are now loaded on demand
• Images are resized to match their display scale
• Image memory is now freed when scrolling
• Banners are now loaded in a separate thread
• Removed and modified visual effects to reduce rendering overhead
• These changes reduced resource usage and improved scrolling smoothness. In a small library, these changes should go unnoticed. However, in a large library, especially in Covers mode, the difference is huge. In a synthetic test in Covers mode with 1,000 games, idle RAM dropped by about 14% after boot and by about 84% after scrolling, while CPU usage during scroll increased, as the images are now loaded on demand instead of all at once during startup.
