RAD Telemetry 1.1m released!

We just released a small point release for RAD Telemetry.  The run-time protocol has changed, so be sure to upgrade the SDK, server and Visualizer simultaneously!

Run-Time

  • Enhancement: updated WiiU support to 2.07.02 SDK
  • Bugfix: Stack corruption here if there were more than 128 PDBs or MAP files discovered
  • Change: Raised maximum number of discoverable MAP/PDB files to 256 (don't worry, we fixed the previous bug too, we didn't just raise the limit =) )
  • Change: TMZF_PLOT_TIME_EXPERIMENTAL promoted to TMZF_PLOT_TIME

Visualizer

  • Change: Linux Visualizer now searches executable directory for license key in addition to the Telemetry data directory
  • Enhancement: VScale setting is now saved

Other

  • Bugfix: Symbol data after symbolization was not stored to disk properly
  • Change: Edited UE3 integration docs for better error handling
