EDIT: i asked sam if it would be possible to include an actual timestamp in latest updates, rather than just "1 day" ago. if that happens, ill change it to use this date when possible, otherwise fallback to "thread updated" or "release date" from thread if theyre detected, otherwise use the last time OP was edited.

WhiteVanDaycare i just implemented this, as always should slowly trickle down as all cache gets invalidated over next 7 days. and as usual its not bulletproof, not all threads are tracked by latest updates, and also i cannot get the information directly but need to search for the game by name in latest updates and hope it finds it, then get the data from there, but seems to be working decently fine. if it cannot get this info from latest updates, it falls back to the data it used before so not tragic.
if it does manage to find the thread in latest updates by name when udpating cache for it, it will use the data from latest updates for game name, developer, score, image url, last updated, and also previews urls (this is in preparation of when i will eventually support having game screenshots in app)

v11.0 broke linux version. at least for linux mint 22.

I tried auto updating. when that did not work, I removed it and manually installed v11.0 myself from a fresh copy grabbed from github

either case it just doesn't work. I tried running it (both auto updated and clean download) from command line to see any errors and this is what it says:
v11.0 said:
$ ./F95Checker
qt.qpa.plugin: From 6.5.0, xcb-cursor0 or libxcb-cursor0 is needed to load the Qt xcb platform plugin.
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: minimalegl, eglfs, wayland-egl, minimal, xcb, linuxfb, offscreen, vnc, vkkhrdisplay, wayland.

Aborted (core dumped)

manually installing xcb did not work. neither did manually installing Qt5dxcb-plugin
which makes sense, it looks like they are included in ./lib folder to prevent the requirement of other external programs and issues where different versions are used.

reverting to v10.2 works. although every time the program runs it will ask again if I want to update to v11.0
instead of remembering that I told it I don't want that version.

also, just in case those are a red herring, I tried running 10.2 from command line to see if it also says the same things and ignores it. and it does not, it says nothing if you run 10.2 from command line, it just runs.

Update worked fine for me, but now the games are sorted differently and I cannot seem to find the sort button anymore. used to be by update time so newest is always first, now it starts alphabetically and switches to reverse alphabetically on refresh.

Update worked fine for me and I'm excited about the refresh finally working and how fast it is. However, the application runs very slow now and is kinda unstable. As you can see, it can barely run in 18 fps. It used to run 164 fps on my 164hz monitor just fine before. Idk if the new UI and effects have a hard time handling at lot of game, seeing as I am tracking 1243 games currently.

This is exactly why I didn't want to release, where were all these people with all these problems for the past year and a half? Desktop software dev sucks

Atleast the cache api seems to be fine for now, I don't see any errors, atleast that I got right...

Hi WillyJL

Thank for your efforts for this release. Just in case you aren't aware, your linktree on GitHub doesn't seem to be working.

Different sorting initially probably due to the new tabs, either disable the independent tab views, or configure sorting again in the list view by clicking the column headers. As for it randomly breaking and having different sorting than what the columns are configured to do, this is a known issue listed in the changelog that I currently have no way to fix, it seems to be a memory corruption in either imgui or pyimgui. Restarting the app or configuring sorting again will fix it

WillyJL Like some others I get that same screen "Waiting for F95Checker to quit..." and... nothing more.

I understand things don't always go right, but can you please provide instructions on how to properly get this updated from this state?

Thanks in advance.
