LITEPC Launcher

rebuilding and reverse engineering pubg lite launcher

What is the focus of this repository?

It focuses on rebuilding the pubg lite launcher, using c and c++ instead of c#.

Focusing on cross-platform and weaker PCs, supporting up to Windows XP SP3+ / Linux / macos, the development may be a bit long, but this code could become something special

the implementations will be the same/similar to the original launcher

Currently the code is in the initial stages of basic testing, just for functionality

BUILD

What is needed to compile ?

Windows XP SP3 or higher

to compile for Windows XP and higher systems you need Open Watcom 1.9

run build_launcher_watcom.bat and it will compile and generate an X32 file locally lpc_launcher.exe , which you can test by placing it inside bin/nt_86

watcom generates light, fast and optimized files, but not secure.

watcom only supports 32-bit binaries, from 386 to 686 floating point control

Windows 7 or higher

You need Visual Studio 2019 or 2022, I only tested it with these, maybe it will work with other versions, just change some parameters within the batch script

run build_launcher_visual_studio.bat and it will compile and generate an X32 or X64 file locally lpc_launcher.exe , which you can test by placing it inside bin/nt_86``` or ```bin/nt_86 depending on what architecture you built

to modify which architecture or version of visual studio, open build_launcher_visual_studio.bat with any text editor and modify the variables set vsv= for the year of the version of your visual studio, sometimes it may not always work if you have installed it in a different location, but in this case I am following the standard installation, and for the architecture you modify the variable set cpuarch= supporting the values ​​86 or 64

Linux

to compile on linux you need gcc and some additional dependencies related to x11 and cef

libx11-dev libxcomposite-dev libxrandr-dev libxtst-dev libxext-dev libxfixes-dev libxrender-dev libxcursor-dev libgconf-2-dev libglib2.0-dev libnss3-dev libatk1.0-dev libasound2-dev libxdamage-dev libdl-dev libpthread-stubs0-dev librt-dev

to compile just run build_launcher_gcc_linux.sh which will generate a x64 binary file locally lpc_launcher.elf, and you can test it by placing it inside bin/linux_64
