Version 3.0.6600.41012

New feature: Clean Crysis build
- This function moves files that are not part of the Crysis Wars build into the recycle bin. It's mainly designed for mappers.
Implemented online player counter in the main screen (data fetched from https://stats.spikx.net - we thank @Spooky for this!)
Added "MWLL Links" section
Replaced Facebook page link with MWLL IRC Chat link
Start button text updates properly during the verify procedure, according to what the launcher is doing
The launcher won't start the server anymore, if a server cfg OR levelrotation files are not found
The launcher now performs the stray files check at startup
The launcher now prompts to install DirectX redistributables at the first launch
Minor backend changes
Fixed an issue where the UI would get stuck while downloading on low end CPUs
Fixed a crash happening when the Control Configuration tool (Actionmapper) is run after a profile name change
Fixed a crash caused by wrong type of values in the launcher setting file
The launcher now properly scales on screens with high DPI settings

Will it (again) delete files without asking for confirmation?
Will it refuse to work if the confirmation for deletion is not given?

Star_Wraith

fire-hound the confirmation is given at the start of the cleaning procedure. By clicking "yes", you are agreeing that the launcher will move any stray files in your recycle bin. That's basically the point of the procedure, so by clicking "no", it's pointless to even start it.

Understood
Will the launcher still work, i.e. fulfill its duty of actually launching the game?

New feature: Clean Crysis build
This function moves files that are not part of the Crysis Wars build into the recycle bin. It's mainly designed for mappers.

like I want to remove all my files that are in my folders and start all over again.
Now ever time the launcher starts I have to say NO - give me a switch

Star_Wraith

ouch The removal of stray files and the cleaning of the Crysis build are 2 separate procedures which really have nothing to do with each other.

The first one has to be mandatory, it cleans MWLL mod folder. This is because some of the files there may actually trigger the cheat protection. Disabling the first procedure is not a thing we want to do, cause we want to make sure that a user is always able to start the game without any issue.

If you get a notification everytime, it means that in your MWLL mod folder there are unnecessary files that are not supposed to be there, so you should either move or delete them.

Cleaning Crysis build is another thing. As stated, is designed for mappers, because sometimes, by using the editor, you end up having stuff saved in the Crysis installation, which makes it available in the editor for you, but not in game for anyone else. By cleaning Crysis build, you can make sure this doesn't happen.

The Crysis build clean sweep:
Can it be made switchable, like an option the mapper wants only occasionally?
OR run only on demand?

Star_Wraith both the things, I agree, are highly useful, what I ask is for more control over when it happens?

And the moving to recycle bin, instead of erasing in place, is really highly appreciated too.
