This is a fix release on top of v0.2.7. Windows players whose game names turned garbled after updating to v0.2.7 will see them restored automatically the first time the library opens after installing v0.2.8 — no action needed; games, saves and game files are not affected.
What changed
- Windows (Chinese and other non-Western systems): v0.2.7 could garble game names while repairing an old index; the repair now uses the actual system encoding and already-garbled names are restored one by one. Updating directly from v0.2.6 is also repaired correctly. (#514 follow-up)
- Windows: adding a game for the first time no longer keeps saying "a task is still running" — if the default library cannot be created, an empty folder is used automatically, and other causes are explained with "Retry / Choose another location".
- Windows: an expired Apple ID sign-in (Apple error 1100) is now explained with an "Open Impactor to sign in again" button; the first install to iPhone no longer fails with a "cannot read the device" error when S2Arm is installed but no games have been added yet.
- Fixed some OpenGL games crashing at launch because a graphics function was missing.
