Known Issues

Client Session Localization files missing

94648

Client_session localization files missing.

The logfile location cannot be specified

87925

The client session binary takes an argument which overrides the default location for the logfile, however the client is always using the default location.

Workaround:

Fixed an issue where the logfile parameter was not being processed and the logfile was always created in the default location. Now the logfile parameter can be used to specify an alternate location for the file.

macOS client may only minimize one display on OS X 10.11

61740

If you launch the PCoIP Software Client in OS X 10.11 and you have not clicked anywhere within the display before using the minimize hot key (Ctrl+Alt+M), the display that has not been used will not be minimized. This does not occur in macOS 10.12 (Sierra) or 10.13 (High Sierra).

Workaround:

Click with the mouse on both displays of the client any time before pressing Ctrl+Alt+M, and both displays will be minimized.

Using an invalid or corrupt branding package crashes client

61678

If the branding package does not match the hash value specified for the branding package, the session client will terminate.

Workaround:

Replace the corrupt branding file or use the correct hash value.

44028

The Datalogic Quickscan QS6500 barcode scanner does not work when the device is bridged.

Workaround:

USB keyboards do not work in bridged mode

40580

Keyboards do not work when bridged. This affects both Windows and macOS PCoIP Software Client.

Workaround:

Do not bridge the keyboard. Keyboards function correctly when locally terminated.
