Image tearing has been removed.
Image tearing has been eliminated when viewing moving content that is thin and vertical or diagonal in nature.
Local cursor corruption is observed when DPI other that 100% is used, for Zero Client to Remote Workstation Card connections.
Cursor corruption observed if Windows DPI is greater than 100% on Remote Workstation Card connections
Set Windows DPI scaling to 100%. Logout of windows, log back in, then change the DPI scaling to desired value.
Note: the mouse will not scale, but the corruption will not occur.
Frequent webpage reloading shows different content in Chrome
When using Chrome, performing frequently or fast webpage reloading can result in portions of an AWI page that are not normally visible to become visible. This has not been observed on Firefox or Edge.
Internet Explorer 11 does not trust the Administrative Web Interface certificate
Internet Explorer 11 does not trust the Administrative Web Interface certificate if the AWI is accessed via IP address (it will trust the certificate when using the FQDN).
Profile application to a Remote Workstation Card fails when Enable Audio has not been enabled
Applying a Profile to a Remote Workstation Card from PCoIP Management Console will be unsuccessful if the Enable Audio setting on the Remote Workstation Card has never been enabled (default is disabled) or the Remote Workstation Card has not had the Enable Audio setting enabled since the last Reset Parameters setting has been applied.
In either case, after attempting to apply the profile, the PCoIP Management Console may display incorrect statuses of the endpoint. For example, if the profile attempted to peer the Remote Workstation Card to a PCoIP Zero Client, the status will display as peered when the Remote Workstation Card may be in a state ready to accept any connection.
To make sure your profile is applied to the Remote Workstation Card correctly, ensure the Enable Audio setting has been enabled in the profile you are applying or ensure the setting has been enabled once prior to applying a new profile.
