Changelog & previous versions, version & update checker
NorthernLaw
There needs to be a dedicated page to the Voicemod changelog with ability to download previous versions which makes it super easy if users want an older version or need to revert back to a previous version in case of a massive bug which has in fact happened to me more than once with Voicemod. It's unfortunate but it is what it is. This changelog should be on your website. There should also be a changelog located within the app itself which appears upon updating to a new version and it will tell you EXACTLY what changed. You can also view this changelog at any time from within the app by going to either the "about Voicemod" tab or the general settings page. To download older versions perhaps it would bring you to the browser tab of the website.
In the "about Voicemod" tab you can view your version, but under the "general" tab in settings, you should also be able to view what version you are currently on, as well as a button that says "Check for updates" and then upon clicking that it will say "already on latest version, checked 3 seconds ago" or something like that. Or if not updated "Newer version available, Download HERE" as a button
Also a checkbox that would auto check for updates upon launching the app would be nice that you could turn on or off.
These are all things I'd expect from an app like this. I might be mistaken in that some already exist and some don't but these all definitely need to be a thing and would be very useful for many users including myself. I know I could have used these many times and still could now. I recognize there are other posts saying similar things to this but I feel as though this post encapsulates everything in one since they are all extremely similar things.

Feature Request: Optional Update Check Mechanism for Better Accessibility
Congroo E1
Dear Voicemod Team,
I’d like to suggest an improvement regarding the software’s startup behavior. Currently, Voicemod forces an automatic update check upon every launch. For users in regions requiring VPN access (like myself), this often blocks the software from starting — either due to update check failures or extremely long delays. In most cases, the failed check prevents the software from launching entirely.
I’ve followed your official troubleshooting steps (reinstalling, adjusting firewall settings, network configurations, etc.), but these haven’t reliably resolved the issue.
Suggestion:
Could you add an option to skip the forced update check during startup? For example:
- Implement an in-app update prompt (e.g., a dismissible pop-up) allowing users to manually check for updates when their network connection is stable.
This change would significantly improve accessibility for users with unstable or restricted networks while maintaining update awareness.
Thank you for considering this request!

Congroo E1, that update checker should be fast, or is it updating on every startup?
Because that would be a known issue: https://voicemod.canny.io/desktop-feedback-board/p/constantly-having-to-update-but-i-already-have-the-version-voicemod-v3 [Check the pinned message]
In any case, the update checker is already requested: https://voicemod.canny.io/desktop-feedback-board/p/changelog-previous-versions-version-update-checker

CYCLONE YT There are currently two versions of Voicemod, which one are you on?
CYCLONE YT

CYCLONE YT PC version 2.51 will no longer receive any updates. When we have a migration support tool, we will write to v2 users to upgrade to v3. In v3 the update is constant, as with Discord, at every opening.

coke So should I just wait? Because I saw on the official profile the girl using the new voices, I tried to access the voicemod website to see some way to update and nothing

CYCLONE YT You can download Voicemod v3 from the web by logging in with a different email address (for the moment, for regular v2 users, the server serves Voicemod v2).
CYCLONE YT
but I think I understand
CYCLONE YT
I'll stay on v2 until v3 drops for me because I bought lifetime access
c
coke
CYCLONE YT Voicemod v2 lifetime access gives you lifetime access to Voicemod v3.
