Release zips have the tarbomb problem

[EliteAsian123]

With the launcher coming up, it's kinda "too late now," because we'd have to rezip every single update on every single platform. With it however, this isn't something that you'll have to worry about. Apologies for the inconvenience!

I wouldn't expect you to fix old releases if that's what you mean, just the new ones. Or are you saying that the launcher is going to use these zips and expects them the way they are? I imagine you could automate redoing all the zip files if needed rather than doing it by hand.

Is there somewhere I can read more about how the launcher is planned to work? I guess maybe you'd download one executable instead of an archive and then it would handle grabbing the rest of the game files over the internet or something. If that's how it worked it might be worse for portability in scenarios with no network connection, like throwing the files on a flash drive to easily set up on another machine wherever you are.

Portable versions of YARG will still be available, however, stuff like the setlist can only be downloaded through the launcher for security, and in the future, the launcher will probably be a requirement to prevent cheating when leaderboards are added.

You can see the launcher here at its current state.

This probably won't be fixed, as it's probably a minor inconvenience at worst. Apologies again for said inconvenience.
