ZClient - new feature.

Maybe it was there already, but I never noticed it before.

When you open Zclient and are logged in, you'll see a menubar at the bottom of the Zclient screen
When you click on it, all installed Zclient games will show.
Select f.e. the Sims 4 - x64, click on Run and the game will start loading without opening or using Origin/ZLOrigin.

I think someone else (I believe it was @Loonieloose) mentioned that it was possible to start up The Sims 4 without logging into that ZClient-thing. Can't recall when that was introduced, but it must have been recently only.

Cool I guess; although it could make the game vulnerable (?) to interferences from Windows Defender/antivirus programs, which is one of the main reasons people prefer the zlOrigin Sims 4.

I think you refer to this: https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t32356-offline-zlorigin-origin-not-running-problem#188555
He there states that his game automatically runs off-line.

With this new Zclient "taskbar", ZLOrigin is not even openened or used. You go straight to f.e. Sims 4.
You now only need ZLOrigin for updating the game.

I was not referring to anything in particular; I merely spoke from my own recollection that @Loonieloose - who is by the way female - hinted at a feature along those lines, some time ago already. 

What about the main argument/suggestion from my previous post, that playing this thing "offline" makes the installation (slightly) more prone to antivirus interferences? Has this been experienced by you, or anybody else on here?

As this new feature starts the Sims 4 without ZLOrigin it is less prone to AV-attacks as it still doesn't use cracks like RldOrigin.dll.
