Cross-platform Nexus Mods app v0.6.0 out now expanding Cyberpunk 2077 support

The Nexus mod platform team continue building up their newer open source and cross-platform mod launcher, with expanded support for Cyberpunk 2077 modding in the new 0.6.0 version out now. Eventually, this could be the true go-to for modding on Linux and Windows.

Currently the app only supports Stardew Valley and Cyberpunk 2077, with more to come as the app features are expanded.

One big new feature of this release is Multiple Loadouts, allowing you to manage multiple different mod setups for a single game, allowing you to easily swap between them. There's also a new "tree view" display setting for the My Mods and Library pages.

For the expanded Cyberpunk 2077 support, the current downside on Linux is that the Nexus Mods app is currently unable to automatically run REDmod, so you need to do that manually. You also need to manually uninstall the entire app and settings before updating to this latest version.

More of what's changed:

Other Features

• Updated the My Games page with new tile designs.
• Game tiles now show a store icon to indicate where the game was downloaded from.
• It is now possible to delete mods from your Library.
• Within a Workspace the active panel is now highlighted in the UI.
• All panels and tabs in Workspace now have a history, allowing the user to navigate forward or backward using the new arrows on the top toolbar.
• The fonts used in the UI have been updated to Inter in line with our new design system.

Bugfixes

• Fixed the game icon in the spine flickering when updating a loadout.
• Reworded the "Update available" pop-up to make it more clear that updating the app requires a full reset of your mod setup.
• Fixed an issue where Steam games would fail to launch on Ubuntu.

Technical Changes

• Downloading files now uses a new "Jobs" system to make them easier to manage.
• We are continuing our backend work to convert from "Mods" to "Loadout items". More Info
• The synchronizer for handling loadout states has been reworked to provide much more robust coverage of edge cases.
• Added generic support for path-based diagnostic checks when checking for missing dependencies.
