Patchnotes Version NGL Main 3.0.0

The new patch 3.0.0 brings many new things and UI reworks. Some of them are still a bit WIP. Here's why: Normally, in the NGL setup, a launcher is rebuilt with an engine and then changed with a complex process. All of this is agreed with CIG and allowed. The real problem is mostly on CIG's side. In the new RSI 2.15.0 launcher, the core base was changed. Because of that, the NGL project currently cannot modify the RSI 2.15.0 launcher. CIG has known about this for several weeks and said they would look into keeping the NGL launcher updatable on the latest version — but so far there has been no further reply. So for this patch, all features from the 2.15.0 launcher had to be built by hand from scratch into the older 2.14.0 launcher. That means they are not 100% CIG-based. That's all I need to say about it.

Eye button removed. Differences between RSI Guide System and NGL Guide System (25 July 2026): - After accepting a request, you can't go back to your main page. - In NGL you can go back to the main page and use tabs to switch. - Right now you can only accept ONE guide request. - In NGL you can accept as many as Spectrum can handle. - After accepting a request, chat + session open with the requester and you can't leave that window. - In NGL your active sessions are shown in the Sessions tab. - The theme is blue. - In NGL the theme is black-gold. - As a requester, you can't see outside the guide page how long you were guided. - In NGL your guided time is shown on the Guide feature button. - If you decline a request, you have to wait an unknown timeout. This is a new rate limiter from CIG this year. FIXES: - API error (launcher restart required) - NGL Banner offset - Spectrum Friends profile presence not updating live - Spectrum Chat account presence not showing - Changelogs not shown in update modal - Trail Head session count / badge progress - Guide avatar cropping and proportions - Spectrum Add Chat — closed DMs can be found and reopened via search again - Session tab badge no longer sticks after ending a session outside the launcher in Spectrum - Stale session/request UI state on both guided-player and Guide sides (badge vs content, endorsement UI when a Guide is also a recruit) - Update modal not providing option "Later" - Right-click on last channel moves menu offset above - Feedback form not showing up after a 30+ min session is closed - API unreachable second try - Evocati check not persistent - Guide chat shows error message `Schema validation failed: MessageContentState` - POSSIBLE: Spectrum Chat not loading correctly after a Guide session - Guide categories not updating after close - API validation failure after checking more than 3 languages. KNOWN ISSUES: - Guide site transition broke after opening the profile menu first. - Guide chat is not providing chat message updates. Note: These patch notes are based on the status of 27 July 2026 and may have some differences. Please bear with me.
