Client Session Localization files missing
Client_session localization files missing.
The logfile location cannot be specified
The client session binary takes an argument which overrides the default location for the logfile, however the client is always using the default location.
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.
Using an invalid or corrupt branding package crashes client
If the branding package does not match the hash value specified for the branding package, the session client will terminate.
Replace the corrupt branding file or use the correct hash value.
Auto forwarding HID devices with multiple flash drives may fail
If more than one flash drive is auto forwarded along with HID devices, not all the devices may be forwarded to the remote host.
Limit auto forwarding to a single flash drive.
Bridged USB devices disconnected when switching to Windowed Mode
When the client has more than one monitor, switching from Full-screen to Windowed mode will disconnect all bridged USB devices.
Connection > USB Devices client dialog does not list any USB devices
At times, after a session starts, the Connection > USB Devices dialog does not list any of the USB devices connected to the client.
Reconnect to the session or physically unplug and reconnect the USB devices connected to the client.
Cancelling large USB file transfer fails
Cancelling a large file from being copied to, or from, a USB flash drive while bridged in PCoIP Software Client fails to function. The file will continue to copy until finished.
Allow operations on USB devices to complete prior to disconnecting the session.
USB keyboards do not work in bridged mode
Keyboards do not work when bridged. This affects both Windows and macOS PCoIP Software Client.
Do not bridge the keyboard. Keyboards function correctly when locally terminated.
