136 more Thunderstore games
BepInEx 5 and IL2CPP games, a Proton choice per game or profile, and mods marked Explicit or Implicit.
What changed in 0.3.4
New
Games
- 136 more Thunderstore games: 104 on BepInEx 5, and 32 Unity IL2CPP games (Cat Mail Co. among them) on the shared BepInEx 6 pack
- BepInEx 6 IL2CPP games get the game's Unity base libraries with the loader, so the first start needs no network
- Each game, or each profile, can choose which of Steam's Proton builds runs its Windows copy outside Steam
- Game select's group headings count their games
Mods and browsing
- Mortar records whether you asked for each mod or it came in for another one (Explicit or Implicit): group, sort and filter by it, mark a mod either way, and show implicit mods in place, nested under the mods that need them, or hidden
- A profile made before this offers once to mark its libraries, frameworks and tilesheet packs implicit, and Review… lists why each was picked
- Removing or switching off mods offers to remove or switch off the libraries only they needed
- Saved groups replace bundles: save a group to your library and add it to any profile
- A BepInEx mod's other text files (YAML, TOML, XML, INI, JSON and TXT) open in the Config page for editing
- A tidier details sidebar, and the group header at the top stays in view while the list scrolls
Profiles and sharing
- A share can leave out libraries and supporting mods and name only the mods you chose; links and .mortar files carry each mod's install reason, pin and groups
- The import preview shows the mods a share marks as dependencies
- A profile row counts the mods you chose beside the total
- A screenshot can become the profile's cover
Problems and diagnostics
- Cleanup lists dependencies no switched-on mod needs any more
- A mod that needs a newer game version than you have shows as Broken, Vintage Story's included
Downloads and updates
- A simpler update review: one Update button per mod, library updates last under Libraries, and a one-row footer
- When smapi.io stops answering, the offline banner says so, and it clears when smapi.io answers again

Mods and browsing
- Large profiles are much quicker: switching a mod, filtering, opening the list or grid, Browse search and Settings search redraw a fraction of what they did
- Switching, pinning or noting a mod keeps its details open and your selection
- The details panel follows the selected mod again
- Updating or rolling back a mod keeps it in its groups
Problems and diagnostics
- Cleanup no longer offers to remove a mod a switched-on mod needs, whether its manifest, its Nexus page, a content condition or the images it changes say so
Profiles and sharing
- A .mortar file carries the profile's groups whether or not it carries notes, and restoring a zip backup restores them
Launching and loaders
- Mods for an IL2CPP game get the BepInEx 6 the catalog names, not BepInEx 5
- Bridge features are offered only for games Mortar has a bridge for
- On Linux, whether WebKit's DMA-BUF renderer is turned off now follows the installed graphics drivers, not PRIME offload
- Game select no longer reloads every game's run history in a loop
Interface and settings
- No more message codes in place of text, such as the one that stood in for "4 updates ready"
- Every popover is solid, the Saves backups menu included
- The Mods page callouts match the update bar's height
