Description

Types

-bin (Binary release of the package)

URL

https://launcher.hytale.com/builds/release/linux/amd64/hytale-launcher-latest.zip

Building guide

Not Applicable, Hytale provides an actual binary themselves. it just needs workarounds to get running on certain systems. Please see https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/hytale-launcher.sh?h=hytale-launcher-bin

Additional context

Please see the AUR Equivalent: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hytale-launcher-bin

I'm mainly requesting this, because I don't like flatpack/flathub.
