Play **A launch you can follow** Each step shows as it starts, with a mod count. Cancel stops at any step.

Mods **Versions with dates** Every version shows its release date, with Latest and Installed marked.

Games **Add any game** Pick its program; Mortar reads the name and how it's modded from the game itself.

Multiplayer **Hosting and joining** The host's copy button and the joiner's list are kept apart, and Fix all leads after a check.

What changed in 0.3.13

New

Play

The launch screen fills in as the launcher, the game and its loader come up, and stays until the mods have loaded
A slow launch says so with Keep waiting, gives up only after five minutes, and Cancel stops a launch at any step
A launch waiting on Steam can open Steam's window
For Stardew Valley the launch screen stays until the game's window opens, not just until SMAPI has found the mods

Mods

Change version lists each version with its release date, marks Latest and Installed, and names the version it installs
The details panel keeps a mod's version and what changes it in one section, and leads out through one column of links

Games

Add a game starts from the game's program, takes its name and how it is modded from the game's files, and says what each loader suits

Multiplayer and sharing

The Multiplayer mod list splits hosting from joining, and Fix all leads once a check finds something
An import can install a share as shared: at its versions and without the dependencies it left out
The Thunderstore modpack form groups its fields and folds the config list

Saves

A save's companion folders travel with it, so Cat Mail Co. backups carry CatLib's mod data

FOMOD

A plugin's always-install files, and its install-if-usable files while usable, install even when the plugin is not chosen

Changed (5)

Selecting, switching on and off and opening mods, Config, Settings, the Console, Storage and Load order all do far less redrawing and ask Mortar's backend fewer times
Dialogs share one look: no dividers, Close as a plain button, and lists that load behind placeholders in their own shape
Screenshots and Settings › Launchers show placeholders while they load, and a Settings search with no match says so in the middle of the page
Reduce motion also turns off the press ripple
Browse falls back from GitHub's API to its search page when the API refuses, and waits out a refused search instead of asking again for every topic

Fixed (29)

Mortar no longer freezes for a second or more each time a game starts, stops or changes state, which was worst right after Play
Every Browse page holds 20 mods after adult and hidden mods are dropped, the page count stays put between pages, and pages past the tenth fill
A Browse source that leaves mods out for excluded categories counts them as hidden; CurseForge sorted by thumbs-up neither repeats nor skips a mod
Signed out of Nexus, Browse and Settings › Accounts no longer raise an error toast
A site limiting Mortar's requests says so instead of "Something went wrong"
A launch cancelled while it prepares takes its files back out of the game; a cancelled launch ends as cancelled even when the game exits first
A game a system Wine runs is found by its path, and Steam, its wrappers or a system program are never taken for the game
A game whose log is late counts as started instead of as Steam failing to start it
GE-Proton10 ranks above GE-Proton9 when Mortar picks the best Proton
Load order follows SMAPI's own order, each mod's dependencies loading just before it
FOMOD files go where the installer says: a missing destination installs at the source's path and an empty one in the mod's folder
A MelonLoader setting spread over several lines, quoted category names and control characters read and save correctly instead of breaking the file
A config number a mod cannot read (1E5, Inf, 300 for a byte) is refused or rewritten so the game keeps it
A config search hit names its section, and a .cfg named after its package shows under that package
An INI section followed by a comment is found, so a setting is no longer added under a second copy of it
Cat Mail Co.'s saves are found
A Nexus file uploaded again under the same version counts as the newer one, and one mod id in two games no longer shows the other game's page
A Thunderstore dependency with no version or an extra dash is refused instead of misread
An ignored Thunderstore, CurseForge or Mod DB link is taken again when clicked again
Importing an r2modman or Gale profile keeps config files in BepInEx/config subfolders
A failed import removes the profile it made
A profile of a game Nexus does not host can be shared by link
An error after Pause or Cancel no longer marks a download Failed or Queued
With beta updates on, a refused prerelease lookup no longer hides a newer stable release
Keys saved while the Flatpak secret portal was missing are kept once it answers again
Recovery after a crash mid-restore no longer writes your file over the profile's copy, and a leftover link no longer blocks every purge
Many screens no longer show another profile's or game's answer when you switch quickly
A double click on Retry, Fix and similar actions sends once, and a failure's message offers Retry
Screen readers hear headings for each game, profile, save, launcher and first-run step
