Since the Last Release

• Added support for Linux and macOS
• Added support for Widevine
• Several changes to make the script cross-platform friendly
• Fixed Auto Mode not working properly when using -a 0
• Added "Do you want to Launch GMod?" prompt for when there's only 1 possible launch option

Warning for Linux Users

Due to the wide variation of Linux Distros, some may not work properly with GModCEFCodecFix! We've successfully tested Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS and Manjaro GNOME 18.1.5, but other distros may not.

If you run into an issue using the tool, especially if you run into the Terminal Not Found error, please make an Issue saying what version of Linux you're using, what Terminal you're using, and any other relevant info like the error message.

Note for macOS and Linux Users

After downloading the tool, please make sure to mark it as executable so it'll actually be able to run!

In Linux: chmod +x GModCEFCodecFix-Linux in Terminal in the same folder as the file or check something like "Allow executing file as program" in the file's Permissions under its Properties

In macOS: Run chmod +x GModCEFCodecFix-MacOS in Terminal in the same folder as the file

Another note for macOS Users

This release is not in .app format nor is it code-signed, so you may run into issues running it in certain scenarios, particularly with macOS Catalina (10.15) or newer!

It should, however, work fine on macOS Mojave (10.14). Older versions of macOS have not been tested.

We're going to make sure everything is properly code-signed and supported on Catalina soon.

Thank you everyone for your support!

June 17th, 2019 - The First Release

This is the first "production-ready" version of GModCEFCodecFix!

Since the last release, we've improved performance during SHA256 checksum calculation somewhat, as well as moved everything to point toward this repository instead of solsticegamestudios.com.

We have some ongoing work in the area of performance more than likely, however.

We also think we've solved most of the bugs, but if you run into one, please remember to report it!

Thanks everyone who helped us test! <3

June 15th, 2019

This is a Pre-Release version of GModCEFCodecFix.

We're still finding all of the bugs with it, but you're free to help us test it!

If you do, please report any bugs you find!
