## What's Changed

### In-Game & Client Features

-   Made the in-game launcher overlay smoother and more reliable, including when its window is recreated.
-   Improved compatibility with ENB and other graphics modifications.
-   Fixed splash-screen images displaying incorrectly on some setups.
-   Fixed some custom textures failing to load when their names are long.
-   Improved connections from the in-game launcher when nicknames or passwords contain special characters.
-   Improved stability when joining or reconnecting to servers, receiving incomplete server responses, and closing the game.
-   Reduced some unnecessary work during gameplay and overlay rendering.

### Launcher Improvements

-   Added a **Models cache folder** setting in Advanced settings, with a folder picker and a default SA-MP cache path on Windows.
-   Added a history of up to five recently used nicknames, selectable from the main window and server join prompt.
-   Added the `--no-omp` command-line option to launch without injecting the open.mp client.
-   Added Armenian, Korean, and Bulgarian translations. Expanded or corrected Spanish, Lithuanian, Georgian, Italian, and Serbian translations.
-   Fixed edited per-server nicknames being reset in the join prompt, and preserved them when changing SA-MP versions.
-   Fixed connecting to password-protected servers from the server context menu.
-   Encoded nicknames and passwords in in-game connect messages so special characters are handled correctly.
-   Fixed CLI connections to hyphenated hostnames by resolving them to IPv4 addresses before launch.
-   Fixed the SA-MP ping query payload and guarded against replies too short to parse.
-   Restored the main window’s size after the loading screen, including after a reload.
-   Skipped update checks in the in-game launcher and improved fallback selection of download and plugin information.
-   Started the game IPC listener only when needed, improved client connection cleanup, and sent overlay window IDs to the game client.
-   Improved game executable launching by validating its path, setting the game directory, and disconnecting its standard input and output.
-   Improved logging: try a file beside the executable, then local app data, then standard error.
-   Kept server context menu colors in sync with theme changes, removed focus outlines in the server list, and aligned Advanced settings buttons with General settings styling.
-   Changed the installer to download the WebView2 bootstrapper.
-   Fixed the external server dialog.
