DisplayMagician v2.7.2 is a new build with a large number of changes since the last release. Firstly, it now uses AMD, NVIDIA and Windows configurations at the same time. This is a large departure from how the video libraries worked in the past. This should hopefully make things more reliable for people running multiple GPUS from multiple vendors.
You can now also 'update' Display Profiles. If your video card manufacturer releases a new version of your video card with new settings added, you can now simply swap to that Display Profile, click the 'Update' button, and your current settings will overwrite the settings in that Display Profile. No longer do you need to update the Game Shortcuts that used your modified Display Profile - the new Display Profile settings will be used automatically!
There were a few bugs in v2.5.0 that needed squashing, and v2.7.2 does just that. It supports the new Steam file format, it avoids many exception errors, and it has numerous other improvements that increase reliability such as try/catch statements to capture errors and handle them silently.
Lastly, there is a big number of changes under the skin. We've moved from .Net Framework v4.8 to .Net 8.0 under the hood. This is a large change that has required many modifications to the codebase, including to the installer. We now require the .Net 8.0 Desktop Runtime to be installed, and to make it nice and easy we've included it in the installation bundle. For this reason the installer is a little bit larger than v2.5.0 was!
