- NO dev mode anymore. A valid certificate is ALWAYS required. - NO Arctium server connection. But do not rename things, thanks. - NO other features than connecting to servers with valid certificates attached. Means: NO mod loading or dev mode. For that use our full-featured launcher at https://arctium.io - NO binary releases. - Only modern versions (all branches) are supported. What you can still do: - Launch modern game clients and connect to servers with a valid certificate attached. - Specify custom version and cdns URLs to be able to launch older clients or data from your own CDN.
