--no-ompcommand-line option to launch without injecting the open.mp client. - Added Armenian, Korean, and Bulgarian translations. Expanded or corrected Spanish, Lithuanian, Georgian, Italian, and Serbian translations.
- Fixed edited per-server nicknames being reset in the join prompt, and preserved them when changing SA-MP versions.
- Fixed connecting to password-protected servers from the server context menu.
- Encoded nicknames and passwords in in-game connect messages so special characters are handled correctly.

- Improved game executable launching by validating its path, setting the game directory, and disconnecting its standard input and output.
- Improved logging: try a file beside the executable, then local app data, then standard error.
- Kept server context menu colors in sync with theme changes, removed focus outlines in the server list, and aligned Advanced settings buttons with General settings styling.
- Changed the installer to download the WebView2 bootstrapper.
- Fixed the external server dialog.
