1.20 released. Kindly want to know when it will be packaged?

Thank you for the intuitive PKGBUILD! It's incredibly easy to switch between versions.

It would be nice to add

StartupWMClass=Vintage Story

to .desktop file. To ensure that the game icon is displayed properly in the panel/dash in a Wayland session.

In version 1.18.8, the developers switched from Mono to .NET 7. I believe I've updated the package properly to reflect that, but if you have any issues, let me know.

If you edited your launcher for the game like I did, you might have to delete ~/.local/share/applications/vintagestory.desktop for the globally installed one to take effect again. (Or apply the changes yourself as you see fit.)

@copygirl After testing things out i found out the error is because my .cache folder is a zfs dataset. When it's on a normal partition it works. Maybe an inherent flaw of zfs or a misconfiguration. I haven't investigated further.

@RedSkuller That line from the PKGBUILD has worked for me and others since the package was first created. I also confirmed the latest version of the package still builds and the game runs for me. Could it be caused by something else?

@copygirl Easiest way to navigate that problem would probably be to ship two .desktop files. One just called vintagestory.desktop with glthread enabled as default, and vintagestory-compat.desktop or vintagestory-fallback.desktop with a different Name or Comment field and glthread explicitly disabled.

The developers reverted the change to their launch script again in version 1.18.4, and instead ask the user if they want to enable mesa_glthread in their own install script – which this package doesn't use.

I don't want to push a change that could potentially cause users issues depending on their specific setup. I'm not sure if the check works for everyone, or causes freezes as some have reported on the forums. So for now I'll leave things as they were before.

@Athemis Thank you. I would not have noticed this without your input. I ended up changing the included launch script to just cd and call the run.sh provided by the developers. I'm thinking of waiting for the next release to include this change.
