Hey #TeamShadow,

 

Welcome to the last week of August! Here is a new release to feed your hunger for improvements while getting your summer tan on

 

TLDR: A fix for the 2 GPU Quick Menu issue on Windows, adding support for Xbox Controller Elite V2 on macOS, Metal renderer now available on macOS and iOS to improve performance, and the Quick Menu finally live on Linux.

 

Here are all the nitty-gritty details for this week:

Wanted to come say this seems fixed today. Both issues. Thanks! That was so annoying!

Hey, I’ve noticed the shadow logo in the top has disappeared so I can no longer open the quick menu. Any ideas as to what might be causing this? I don’t appear to be able to launch it via the keyboard shortcut either (this is on MacOS).

Is the new iOS/tvOS app version 3.1.0 which released on August 17 or has it not been pushed for public distribution yet?

Hi - thanks for the great update! Any news on mouse lock support for iPadOS?

On Linux, I seem to be getting a pinkish orangish render issue when the quick menu is enabled.

Thank you for respecting your community as much as you do, Shadow. Whenever things come up that should be improved it’s fantastic that you take seriously the needs of the community and follow up on emails! 
 

I am looking forward to playing some Halo in tvOS! 
 

Thank you so very much!

It works on Chromebook , if ou have issues with launching the app because it says it cant start the streaming its because it has to be in h265 to work.
