1.2.3

Launcher Stability, Auth Safety & Version Cache Fixes

Fixes

• Fixed critical issue where --gameDir argument was passed incorrectly, causing instances to fail to launch or use wrong directories
• Prevented Microsoft session cache from overwriting existing accounts during re-authentication
• Corrected save suppression counter logic that could block settings from saving in edge cases
• Fixed version list failing to load when Mojang API was unavailable by restoring proper cache fallback chain
• Removed redundant cache check when loading versions in instance creation dialog

Improvements

• Improved reliability of version loading with multi-level cache fallback (memory → persisted → empty)
• Simplified internal save suppression logic for safer state handling
• Minor performance improvement in instance creation flow
• Maintained existing fixes for async exception logging, session validation, and per-instance isolation

1.2.2

Skins Panel Bug Fixes & Performance

Fixes

• Microsoft account is now correctly selected after signing in, the launcher no longer keeps the old account active in settings
• Offline account skins now display correctly in the skin viewer
• Settings window no longer appears partially off-screen when the skins panel is open
• Fixed excessive API calls that could trigger Minecraft rate limiting and force sign-outs

Improvements

• Skin viewer loads all elements simultaneously instead of one by one
• Minecraft profile is cached per session, switching between skins and capes no longer re-fetches your profile from the server each time

1.2.1

Citrine Launcher 1.2.1

This update focuses on stability, cleaner account handling, and a few UI polish changes.

Fixed

• Changing the Minecraft folder now applies immediately without needing to restart the launcher.
• Deleting the last offline account no longer crashes the app.
• The accounts list now updates right away after adding, editing, or deleting an account.
• Offline accounts can no longer be added twice by mistake.
• The launcher now keeps the selected account state in sync more reliably when the list changes.

Improved

• Startup is a little cleaner now by delaying particle effects until the window opens.
• Settings now avoid unnecessary extra saves when nothing actually changed.
• Launcher config and folder-open errors now show up in debug output instead of failing silently.
• The account dialog Add button now matches the launcher’s gradient button style.
• A few small UI and code cleanup changes were made to keep things simpler and more consistent.
• Added a README.md file in the github repo

Notes

• Settings are stored in %AppData%\CitrineLauncher.
• This launcher is still focused on offline accounts for now.
