Alt1 1.6.0 Release1 Jan 2023
Improve Alt1 stability and fix OpenGL capture when NVIDIA filters are enabled. It also adds support for multiple release tracks to make future updates easier.
This change log only contains changes to files on your computer, Alt1 apps are updated separately and don't require an update to Alt1 itself.
Since this is a new update some antiviruses might give you a warning. Especially if you're using AVG/Avast, make sure it is not set to 'Automatic repair', this mode will delete files at random.
Updates
- Added a setting to delay Alt1 updates until after antiviruses have updated.
- Most antiviruses take 1-2 days to update their detections, however with AVG/Avast this can take up to 3 months. This option minimizes problems with these antiviruses deleting Alt1 files without telling you.
- Enabled automatically when AVG or Avast is detected. (Your antivirus is making your computer less secure!)
- In the future there might also be a beta track to test updates before release.
- Finally tracked down a bug that would cause Alt1 to become partially unresponsive after waking your computer from sleep.
- Added a work-around for the infamous NVIDIA image sharpening and softening filters. Alt1 will now accurately capture the game even if those settings are enabled.
- Updated the built-in chromium browser to version 108.
Changes
- Alt1 now always runs as 64bit application.
- Alt1 now requires .NET framework 4.6 (up from 4.5.2). This should already be installed on windows 8/10/11.
- Apps can no longer capture your screen outside of the RuneScape window.
- This feature is currently only used by the Comp cape color grabber app.
- Starting a second instance of Alt1 now gives you an option to kill the old instance in case it has frozen.
- Added support for headless install (makes it technically possible to install through winget - not yet implemented)
- There is now a button in settings->advanced to show the internal Alt1 console.
- This console shows errors that happen inside Alt1 but don't result in a crash.
- This is useful for debugging issues with appconfigs and alt1:// urls.
- Also added and updated messages for many other issues.
Fixes
- Fixed several memory leaks.
- Alt1 will no longer show an error about admin mode when the rs client freezes.
- Alt1 will now automatically detect the RuneScape client in compatibility mode as well.
- Fixed an issue interface skins not showing up in supported apps.
Alt1 1.5.6 Patch7 Sep 2020
This update fixes several long standing annoyances as well as a new bug introduced by the clue solver rework.
This change log only contains changes to files on your computer, there have been many other updates to the apps themselves in the last month which don't require an update to Alt1 itself.
Since this is a new update some antiviruses might give you a warning. Especially if you're using AVG/Avast, make sure it is not set to 'Automatic repair', this mode will delete files at random.
Updates

- Made the incomplete reinstall warning harder to miss.
- Updated the built-in chromium browser to the version 83.
Changes
- Fixed some capture problems which were causing the clue solver to crash/freeze.

- Fixed a very rare bug that was causing the game to freeze on custom cursors until hard reboot.
- Fixed the font size on text overlays under certain display scaling settings.
- Fixed a freeze as computer wake after (dis)connecting a second monitor.
