Workshop Support Tune-Up - Client Update 9/24/2019

Today's update improves AArcade's support of legacy Steam Workshop shares & also improves the performance of very long favorites lists!

Subscriptions from AArcade's Steam Workshop will now be able to load up *much* faster when you start AArcade. Also, the subscriptions that used to get skipped as "GEN1" will also work fine now!

Note that the *first* time that you launch AArcade w/ this update, it will take longer than normal as AArcade consumes & caches the subscriptions. But after that, your subscriptions will load up ultra fast!

These Workshop improvements bring us very close to the goal of publishing new stuff from Redux, which will be re-enabled in the coming months. So stay tuned on that front!

There will also be more improvements in browsing / discovering / managing Steam Workshop subscriptions from in-game in future updates.

Party on!

Change Log:

• Improved the F6 library's handling of very long favorites lists so that they load faster.
• Improved framerate distribution between multiple playing embedded media screens. Also added the ability to turn off embedded media throttling to the Settings > General tab.
• Improved the Edit Item and Edit Model menus to select all text when you first click on a field value.
• Improved debug output to indicate the model name that it is about to have its thumbnail generated.
• Improved AArcade's ability to load cached images from legacy workshop shares.
• Improved legacy Steam Workshop support by adding the ConVar prioritize_legacy_workshop_images 0. When set to 1, the image loader prioritizes cached item images from legacy workshop shares over any URLs specified. (Also added it to the Settings > General tab.)
• Fixed a bug that sometimes caused new web tabs to show up as solid black.

NOTE

At 3:33pm Pacific time I pushed a hotfix to correct a crash bug that impacted some users when using Wizards in the Library Browser. Should be all good now!
