No new features were added in this patch. As always, if Steam doesn't download the files right or an anti-virus is randomly breaking Steam or Wallpaper Engine, please refer to these solutions or create a new thread on the forums:

  • Fixed playlists with custom daytime settings not being able to be loaded from hotkey or tray.
