Penguin Citizen, a Linux management tool for Star Citizen, has been released in version v0.5.15-1.

The tool handles installation, configuration, and launching of Star Citizen via Wine/Proton entirely through a graphical interface, so no terminal usage is required.

This update focuses on improved detection of system Wine runners, a new XWayland rendering setting, and several stability and security fixes.

Features - System Runners

• Detects Wine runners from system locations: /opt/wine-cachyos and Steam compatibility directories
• Filters out CPU architecture mismatches (notably arm64 builds)
• Implements validation requiring usable Wine binaries for install success
• New setting to show/hide system runners with System/CachyOS/Steam badges

Features - Launch & Wayland

• Added session tracking improvements using wineserver -w to prevent premature exit reporting
• Introduced “Render via XWayland” setting for graphics driver selection in prefix registry
• Warns specifically about launcher window visibility issues on Wine 11.14-11.15 only

Quality Improvements

• Extended notification durations (30s vs 3s) with dismissible options and text wrapping
• Added system checks: memory/zram availability and joystick udev configuration

Security

• Resolved RUSTSEC-2026-0258 by upgrading h2 dependency (0.4.15→0.4.18)
