Launcher Settings
Every switch in the launcher's Settings page: game launch, Java, updates and integrity, appearance, notifications and your account.
Settings has four tabs: Sour Client, Appearance, and, when signed in, Notifications and Account. The build you are on and Check for updates sit at the top.
Game launch
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Resolution | The game window size: Auto, 1920x1080, 1600x900, 1366x768, 1280x720 or Custom (type a width and height). |
| On game launch | What the launcher does when the game starts: Keep open, Minimize launcher, Hide to system tray, or Fully close launcher. |
| Default fullscreen | Starts the active profile fullscreen. Saved on that profile. |
Java runtime
Java path: leave it on java so the launcher picks the right bundled runtime. More on Java.
