- jemalloc helps ~30% of the time but not reliable
- Documented all failed approaches (allocators, scheduling, patching variations)
- Added potential alternative approaches (network hooking, proxy, container)
- Status: UNSOLVED

Only patch hytale.com -> anasol.ws
Skip ALL subdomain patches (sessions, account-data, tools, telemetry, sentry)
Testing if fewer patches = no crash.

Simpler approach - pass LD_PRELOAD directly in the shell command
instead of using a wrapper script.

The null-fill before overwrite was likely corrupting data after
the string, causing crashes. Reverted to develop behavior: only
overwrite the bytes we need to change.
Also re-enabled sentry patching.

The sentry URL string appears to be near executable code in the binary.
Patching it may corrupt memory layout on glibc 2.41+ systems.

Node.js spawn with detached:true may not properly pass environment
variables on some systems. Using a bash wrapper script guarantees
LD_PRELOAD is set before the game process starts.

Root cause: glibc 2.41 has stricter heap validation that catches a
pre-existing race condition triggered by binary patching.
Changes:
- Add jemalloc auto-detection and usage on Linux
- Add auto-install via pkexec (graphical sudo prompt)
- Clean up clientPatcher.js (remove debug env vars)
- Add null-padding fix for shorter domain replacements
- Document investigation and solution
The launcher now:
1. Auto-detects jemalloc if installed
2. Offers to auto-install if missing (password prompt)
3. Falls back to MALLOC_CHECK_=0 if jemalloc unavailable
Install manually: sudo pacman -S jemalloc (Arch/Steam Deck)
sudo apt install libjemalloc2 (Debian/Ubuntu)

Added de.json and sv.json locale files for German and Swedish language support. Updated i18n.js to register 'de' and 'sv' as available languages in the launcher.
this PKGBUILD intended for CI and GitHub release artifacts. targets tagged releases only and uses a fixed pkgver that matches the corresponding git tag. all of the VCS logic has been removed to PKGBUILD-git to ensure reproducible builds and stable versioning suitable for binary distribution.
the build process relies on electron-builder directory output (--dir) and packages only the unpacked application into a standard Arch Linux package (.pkg.tar.zst). other distro format are excluded from this path and handled separately.
this change establishes a clear separation between:
- rolling AUR development builds (-git)
- CI-generated, versioned Arch Linux release packages
the result is predictable artifact naming, correct version alignment, and Arch-compliant packaging for downstream users.
created clean VCS-based PKGBUILD following arch packaging conventions.
this explicitly marked as a rolling (-git) build and derives its version dynamically from git tags and commit history via pkgver(). previous hybrid approach has been changed.
key changes:
- use -git suffix to clearly indicate rolling source builds
- set pkgver=0 and compute the actual version via pkgver()
- build only a directory layout using electron-builder (--dir)
- avoid generating AppImage, deb, rpm, or pacman installers
- align build and package steps with Arch packaging guidelines
note: this PKGBUILD is intended for development and AUR use only and is not suitable for binary redistribution or release artifacts.
* build-arch job now only build arch .pkg.tar.zst package instead of the whole generic linux.
* build-linux job now exclude .pacman package since its deprecated and should not be used.
* fix: resolve cross-platform EPERM permissions errors
modManager.js:
- Switch from hardcoded 'junction' to dynamic symlink type based on OS (fixing Linux EPERM).
- Add retry logic for directory removal to handle file locking race conditions.
- Improve broken symlink detection during profile sync.
gameManager.js:
- Implement retry loop (3 attempts) for game directory removal in updateGameFiles to prevent EBUSY/EPERM errors on Windows.
paths.js:
- Prevent fs.mkdirSync failure in getModsPath by pre-checking for broken symbolic links.
