This update fixes the two Linux problems from our last post. You no longer need the workarounds.
Playto on Linux starts from Steam again
- Fixed "Required system libraries are missing" (PLT-LINUX-002) when starting from Steam.
- If you forced "Legacy runtime 1.0" under Properties → Compatibility, you can untick it now. Playto works either way.
The window no longer freezes on X11 or GNOME
- Fixed the Playto window not updating or reacting to clicks right after it starts.
- You can remove the launch option WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 %command% if you added it. Keeping it does no harm.
Other improvements
- Linux: "Near text" places translations correctly at 125%, 150% and 200% display scaling on KDE.
- Linux: the videos in the setup screens now play.
- "Near text" no longer draws two lines of one dialogue at different font sizes.
- When Windows Smart App Control stops the translation engine, the message now says how to keep translating.
