Home
News, your friends, the last seven days of playtime, and what the Play bar at the bottom tells you.
News
The bottom left of Home rotates through the latest Sour Client news. Hover it to pause; each story's button opens it. If the launcher cannot reach the internet, a small Offline note says it is showing news from your last visit.
The cards on the right
- Friends: who is online and what they are playing. Open it to chat, start a group or join them (Friends).
- Last 7 days: your playtime this week against last week, a bar per day, your top server, number of sessions and your streak. Click it for the Playtime page.
- Free accounts see one Sour Gold card under them. Gold members do not.
On smaller windows the cards give up rows (recent sessions first, then friends) so nothing overlaps.
The Play bar
- Play launches the profile picked beside it. Click the profile name to switch profile.
- The bottom left says whether Play will work, then walks through each step while the game starts: checking, downloading, starting. Updates wait here too.
- While a game runs, Play becomes a way to stop it. With Sour Gold and Run more than one game on, you can launch a second one.
