- Pressing Play no longer crashes the Linux app (#610). On WebKitGTK 2.54 (Fedora 44 and other
current distros) the whole window died the moment Play checked which video formats it can
decode, whenever WebKit's DMA-BUF renderer was off, which the app does on most AMD and Intel
machines. WebKit wanted a graphics display the page had not made yet; the app now makes it
first. - If Play ever crashes while the picture starts, the next launch recovers (Linux). The app
notices, decodes the picture without the graphics card from then on, and says so once. - Settings › Window › Graphics › Hardware video decoding (Linux). Off decodes Remote Play's
picture in software (GStreamer's graphics-card decoders are ranked out; applies after a
restart). Safe graphics mode turns it off too, andPS5UPLOAD_SOFTWARE_VIDEO=1does for one
launch. The startup log says which is used ([linux] video decoding: …). - Updating the Windows zip copy works again, and leaves nothing behind (#611). "Install and
restart" (and installing updates automatically) closed the app without installing anything and
without opening it again, and every launch downloaded the same update once more. The install
ran in a hidden PowerShell script after the app had quit, the same pattern the Windows setup
stopped using in 9.0.1 because security software and policies can block it. PS5Upload now puts
the new PS5Upload.exe in place itself before it closes, starts the new version, and the new
version tidies up. If anything goes wrong the app stays open on the old version and says why. - Updates no longer pile up in Downloads (#611). An update the app installs itself is
downloaded into its own folder, reused if it's already there, and deleted once the new version
starts. Only a download you install by hand still goes to Downloads. Old update downloads that
earlier versions left there are listed in Settings → Updates with a Remove button; nothing
is deleted without asking. - A failed update is said once and not retried in a loop. If an install didn't take (on any
system), the next launch says so with the reason, and that version isn't installed by itself
again. Settings → Updates and the update bar offer Try again and Download page.
