v2026.819.750 — OneOCR stays selected after a temporary start failure
Playto: Learn Languages Through Games · published · build 24806874
OCR engine choice is now kept
- Fixed — If OneOCR failed to start once (for example a locked file on first load), Playto used to switch to Windows OCR and save that as your setting, so it never went back. Your selection is now kept and OneOCR is tried again on the next launch.
- Settings — While a fallback engine is running, the OCR Engine row shows "Currently running Windows OCR — the selected engine could not be started."
- PCs without OneOCR — You are told once, not on every launch.
Support
- Diagnostics sent with feedback now include the selected OCR engine and whether OneOCR is available, so we can tell "wanted OneOCR but ran Windows OCR" apart from "chose Windows OCR" when you report an issue.
- Engine failure messages now carry a code (PLT-ENGINE-014 / 015) that tells us whether the translation engine crashed or stopped responding.
If something still feels off, tell us through Contact us in the app, Discord, or this Steam thread.
