The new HoYoPlay launcher doesn't have the ability to get scattered files from the remote anymore, "repairing" the game will just download the whole game again.

Installation
Assumming you have pipx installed, execute the following command:

Why?
I've done worthless-launcher for an open-world anime game, since I want to support other anime games and the launcher code is very messy, this launcher was made.
Features
Turn-based game / Open-world game / Proxy game
- Cross-platform support
Tested on Windows and Linux myself, although should work on most major OSes where
HDiffPatchis supported. - Does not require administrator/root privileges
Though if issues occur during installation/upgrading process, you can always try running the program with elevated privileges to fix them.
- Download the game update (including pre-downloads if available)
- Get the game version
- Get installed voicepacks
- Installation
- Patch the game for unsupported platforms (with telemetry checking)
Not applicable for the "Open-world game", since patching is unneeded to play the game.
- Repair the game (Smarter than the official launcher!)
- Update the game
- Update voicepacks
- Uninstall the game (Just remove the game directory lol)
- Voicepacks installation
Advanced features
- Apply the update archives
- Download the update archives
- Easy to use API
Other games (Dreamseeker game)
I haven't developed for them yet, but since most of the code is shared I'll do that when I have the motivation to do so.
Help me get motivated by going to https://paypal.me/tretrauit and send me a coffee lol
Notes
This launcher tries to mimic the official launcher behaviour as much as possible but if a ban appears, I will not be responsible for it. (Turn-based game have a ban wave already, see AAGL discord for more info)
