✍️ Critical Bugfix

This patch fixes the loading of the list of modifications

👉 The error during loading is associated with an increase in the amount of modification information. In this patch, number of possible modifications has been increased from 10 to 30. Appearance has also been improved, in some moments, and other minor edits have been made

🎯 Additional localizations:

The file from the archive must be put in the languages folder (located in the files folder)

• Croatian translation by @TheKreator666

👉 Downloads

• Only main files: JPD.zip (2.98 MB) (patches and additional DirectX files are downloaded in application)
• Main files with patches: JPD_WithPatches.zip (518 MB)
• Main files with patches and additional DirectX files: JPD_Full.zip (614 MB)

👋 Last update in this year!

In the next stable version, the downgrader will be moved to the GUI, and localization support for downgrader strings will also be added!

Version 2.3.0.1 is recommended for use, which fixes the loading of information about modifications!

👉 GUI Version 1.3.1 | Changes:

• Most of the functions that I often use in my projects have moved to my VitNX library. This change made it possible to remove unnecessary code and optimize the existing one. This library also replaced the DarkUI library, because it has the necessary controls for WinForms
• Added Screenshot Viewer (more convenient) for modifications
• Added checking for updates (when launching the application)
• Added a new type of dialog with a question icon for questions
• Added a check for Windows < 8.1, now the checkbox with DirectPlay will not be displayed for Windows below this one. Now this possibility is available without downgrade (optional)
• Added a full list of versions changes (in repository)
• Localizations files have been seriously improved
• For versions != 1.0 the "Forced" checkbox is no longer displayed. If the version == 1.0, but does not have the checkbox set, then the downgrade will not be performed (the button will disappear)
• Localizations improvements
• Extra code was removed
• Improved display of the language selection panel
• Format of file for storing localizations has been changed from ZCF to XML
• Minor edits

👉 Downgrader Version 1.16-1 | Changes:

• Most of the functions that I often use in my projects have moved to my VitNX library. This change made it possible to remove unnecessary code and optimize the existing one
• Changed the icon so that it is not confused with the icon for the GUI
• Minor edits

👉 Downloads

• Only main files: JPD.zip (2.98 MB) (patches and additional DirectX files are downloaded in application)
• Main files with patches: JPD_WithPatches.zip (518 MB)
• Main files with patches and additional DirectX files: JPD_Full.zip (614 MB)

Cool Update!

Meet version 2.2! A lot of changes have been made, so the update is necessary for everyone! I recommend a clean unpacking, without updating the previous version

👉 GUI Version 1.2.3.3 | Changes:

• Added the About window
• The system of settings and localizations has been rewritten. Files and code have become much easier and more convenient to edit and read
• A huge number of edits have been made
• The GitHub icon has been replaced with a help icon (analogous to pressing the F1 key)
• Improved optimization for x64
• Updated localizations and:
  ~ Added more translatable strings
  ~ Added a translation display from the selected localization (before its application) for the localization selection window when the application is first launched
  ~ Removed outdated dependencies
• Fixed the problem with false antivirus results (possibly temporarily)
• Fixed a bug when rolling back the game version 1.0, if the backup file is equal in hash to the used file version 1.0
• Fixed a bug displaying the window size with the choice of language when the application is first launched
• Fixed a bug with the language selection panel when downloading files or after the Downgrader is finished
• Removed unnecessary and outdated code

👉 Downgrader Version 1.15.0.2 | Changes:

• The system of settings has been rewritten. Files and code have become much easier and more convenient to edit and read
• Improved user interaction
• Improved startup optimization
• Minor improvements
• Fixed the problem with false antivirus results
• Removed unnecessary and outdated code + removed outdated settings (if you are going to use the Downgrader separately from the GUI, the documentation for deleted functions is left unchanged)

👉 Downloads

• Only main files: JPD.zip (2.94 MB) (patches and additional DirectX files are downloaded in application)
• Main files with patches: JPD_WithPatches.zip (518 MB)
• Main files with patches and additional DirectX files: JPD_Full.zip (614 MB)

Version 2.1

Changes

• Added a button to close the application after the end of the downgrade
• Algorithm for storing settings has been changed. Now the folder is not clogged C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local. Check the path C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Zalexanninev15 and delete this folder
• Functionality of showing progress on the taskbar in Windows has been completely rewritten. Now additional libraries are not required (which has slightly reduced the size of the overall project release), the native WinAPI is used instead
• Updated localizations + fixed a bug with the downgrade start button in the Russian localization
• Improving interaction with GUI
• General improvements and edits

Downloads

• Only main files: JPD.zip (2.81 MB) (patches and additional DirectX files are downloaded in application)

Jetpack Downgrader 2.0 🥂

As promised, here is a new version, this time with a graphical interface and a lot of new features. It took a really long time (2.5 months), but now I'm ready to present you a new version! 🎉 🥂 🥳 | Official post in VK (RU)

Changes

• Added a full-featured graphical interface-launcher with a huge number of settings for the downgrader and the game
• The size of the patches has decreased for the second time! From 884 MB to 517 MB. For the first time, something like this happened in version 1.10, in which the patch size changed from 1.75 GB to 884 MB
• The overall process of downgrading the game version has been significantly improved, everything has become faster and more stable. Many actions have been converted to simple ones or removed altogether
• Changed the format for backups of original files (bak to jpb)
• Added coloring of all downrader messages in different colors to make it easier to highlight the actions performed/performed, as well as errors and just text
• Added the output of a new path to the game after the end of the work
• If file with settings (jpd.ini) is not found, it will be created automatically with the default values
• Renamed 1 setting. Value of 1 setting was changed, which allowed us to fix various kinds of bugs
• Work has been done to improve the code and optimize it for 64-bit systems
• The version calculation system has been changed, which now does not rely on the version of the downgrader. Now each component (GUI and Downgrader) has its own version, and the general version of the components assembly is recorded in the release based on the list of changes
• Folder with DirectX is not deleted, which allows you not to download the installer again when you re-use the downgrader
• Significantly improved the registration of the game in the system
• A huge number of changes and improvements for both users and code and performance
• Fixed all bugs and errors

Jetpack Downgrader 2.0 | Release Candidate 🎈🎈

Improved version of Release Candidate 1. Fixed a huge number of errors, bugs and made general improvements to the interface and code. I also added support for modifications in the form of EXE installers. The changes affect many aspects, so I recommend using the new version from scratch. Patches must be downloaded in the GUI itself, there are no separate archives with patches!
