If you ever bought something from the Paradox Plaza store, you'll have ownership of that game / DLC on our backend. Likewise, the game versions available are different and will install in different locations as compared to Steam or other distribution clients. Please be aware that PDX ownership and game availability is separate and distinct from Steam, Epic etc. The launcher in standalone mode will connect to our distribution backend, retrieve your ownership and offer you games to install. In practical terms, this simply means starting the launcher executable directly from your operating system, rather than from a third-party client (such as the Steam client, GOG Galaxy, the Epic launcher etc). The major new feature in this beta is the ability to start the launcher in standalone mode. With v2 2021.7.1 we extend the use of our own distribution backend for the first time to Mac users. Wider operating system support for the distribution platform.More robust, and better maintained, download and install functionality.Ability to use distribution-type functionality in games that have need for it (seasonal content patches for example).Reduced maintenance burden with fewer pieces of software to security patch and keep up to date.Mind that there are still a couple of features missing in v2 - We'll be working on closing the gap in the coming few versions.īut why, you ask? There are several reasons: Hopefully this will end the confusion as to what the "Paradox Launcher" actually is - Seeing as v1 is a distribution client and v2 has been more of a splash screen - v2 will take on both roles in a short while, and this beta is the first user-facing step towards that goal. The v1 client will still be available through Play Paradoxplaza but with time we hope to replace it with v2. At long last Launcher version 2021.7.1 is out, and it's pretty meaty - Which it should be, being the first new version in quite a few weeks!įor quite some time we have been introducing distribution client functionality into the launcher v2, with the eventual goal of retiring the old v1 that has long been the mainstay client of our own distribution backend.
