Posted by Chris | 19 August 2025

It's a big update, so we've got a lot to cover.

Settings Pages

-The Reinstall button now includes an option to reset all files.

-The Update button now replaces the reinstall button on games that support it.

Config UI Editors

Steam Library

Configuration files in our panel now support UI editors. We'll be expanding these to support more games in a later update. You can access these config editors from the settings page or via the file manager.

Config editors simplify the process of editing complex configurations. They provide descriptions for each config option and organize them in a clearer manner.

Panel 6.20 Update Change Log

Due to working on Panel 7 we nearly went all May without a panel and update, we can't have that. So 6.20 is now live on all nodes, with a full rework to the schedules and upgrades to our Rust Auto Wipe feature. They're now more reliable, easy to setup, show in your timezone, and have a lot more options.

Changes To Panel Updates

We launched the Kinetic Panel back in 2022, and up until now, most features have been added through major updates. This approach sometimes meant that features were completed but had to wait for other features to be finalized before release. While this was unavoidable in some cases, such as with the significant UI reworks in Panel 3 and Panel 4, it has occasionally left features you could have been using just sitting there.
