Launcher: v2.2.2161

Windows version: 2.2.2161 MacOS version: 2.2.2162 Linux version: 2.2.2159
Release: 4 years ago

A major overhaul is being introduced to the launcher, with an upgraded version of Chromium.
We are introducing automatic update functionality on linux (similar to macOS and Windows).
Because of the Chromium update, our ability to support Mac OS 10.9 is coming to an end. Please consider updating your operating system to continue to get updates to the launcher.
