| Minor patch update for specific machines | 2021-09-01 | Fixed crash on startup on some machines, like 11th gen intel machines. Very specific, we know! It has to do with an SSL library thing that Intel doesn't have pre-installed that causes issues with startup on Obduction. |
| 1.8.4.1 Minor update | 2019-11-07 | Hey all, We've pushed out a small update today to address the issues that were being caused by HDR. After quite a bit of discussion, looking at our options, and finding out what we could do with the small amount of time and resources we have, we've come to the conclusion that we'll have to disable support for HDR for the time being. We'll post an update with news if or when we're able to revisit this issue. Thanks everyone. |
