Features

  • Minimal Interface

    No waiting for a GUI to load. No waiting for the embedded web browser to load. No waiting for remote logs to be sent to FDev. For those that play on Linux, no waiting for the Wine environment.

  • Auto-run

    Automatically starts the game instead of you having to click the Play button. The default launcher also supports this by using the /autorun flag.

  • Auto-launch Processes

    Via the Settings file, you can specify additional programs to launch automatically. This includes things like Elite Log Agent and VoiceAttack. Processes are automatically closed when the game closes. This means you don't have to run the programs on computer startup or have to remember to start them before you launch the game.

  • Auto-quit

    Automatically close the launcher when you close your game. The default launcher also supports this by using the /autoquit flag.

  • Auto-restart

    Automatically restart your game. This can be useful if you're grinding for manufactured engineering materials. Off by default.

  • Multi-Account

    Rudimentary support for playing with both your Steam and Epic accounts with one game installation. See details for how this works.
