Patch released (Build 1.0.263)

Restart Wallpaper Engine over Steam to properly apply this patch!

Hey all,

Another patch for Wallpaper Engine has just been released that fixes a few issues. It should provide more stability, video flickering/looping fixes for Win 7 and better support for unicode.

Fixes

  • Fixed wallpaper browser crashing when double clicking a wallpaper.
  • Fixed application wallpapers not being adjusted correctly on additional monitors.
  • Fixed video wallpaper flickering on Win 7.
  • Fixed monitor previews not showing up.
  • Fixed unrecoverable boost filesystem errors to cause silent crashes or malfunction, they will now show a message box and then close the application.
  • Fixed unicode support in main application, editor, compiler and general UI.
  • Attempted to fix a dx11 crash.
  • Fixed web wallpaper clicking on multiple monitors.
  • Attempted to make desktop setup more stable and added check for high contrast mode.

Misc

  • Added separate launcher executable to prevent Steam from 'detecting' Wallpaper Engine. This is not enabled yet but will be enabled over the weekend.
  • Added a manual review system to application wallpapers and made it 'more difficult' to open unverified ones (see below).
  • Updated CEF to latest version.
  • Updated JSONCpp to latest version.
  • Added update inconsistency warning to UI (will be shown if Steam updates WPE while it is running).
  • Added a balloon tip that pops up when starting a video fails (e.g. 4k on Win 7).

As usual, if you are having any problems, write a comment here or in the forums http://steamcommunity.com/app/431960/discussions/1/ or send me an e-mail to [email protected] .

For all Razer Kraken users, apparently there is a way to get audio input to work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ny1FzeCYWdI If anyone could try that I'd be interested to know if it helps.

Cheers,
