Launcher 1.0.0 — self-updating, one click to play
The BulletWar launcher is live. It finds your WarRock installation, points the client at our servers, checks that both the login and game ports are actually answering, and starts the game — no files to edit by hand.
From this version on, the launcher keeps itself up to date. On start-up it asks the site which build it should be running, and installs it if yours is older. The download is checked against a SHA-256 fingerprint published by the server before anything is replaced, and the previous build is kept aside until the new one has started, so a failed update can never leave you without a launcher.
Announcements now live in one place. What you are reading here is the same feed the launcher shows on its home screen, so patch notes, event windows and maintenance warnings reach you whether you open the site or just press Play.
The client download is not open yet. Accounts are, and the soldier you create now keeps everything you earn.
