1.0.6.12 Beta Release & Patch Notes!

Dear PGM Users,

Thank you for your continued support of PGMMV!
Version 1.0.6.12 is now available for download via the Beta channel!
Due to some performance issues within the editor, version 1.0.6.12 is reverting the version of Qt used with Pixel Game Maker MV to an earlier version while we work towards a long term solution.
Unfortunately, it was determined that when we updated Qt to address the issue preventing users from logging in to a Nintendo account, a number of unexpected side effects were also created.
With the release of 1.0.6.12, as with the current main branch, it will not be possible to access the Nintendo Switch functions properly. To address this, users who need access to Nintendo Switch functionality will be asked to try the new 1.0.6-switch branch.
This is intended solely as a provisional measure while a permanent fix is implemented. We apologize for the continued inconvenience while we work on further improvements.

Ver. 1.0.6.12 (Beta) Release Notes


Editor



  • The version of Qt used by Pixel Game Maker MV has been reverted to an earlier version.

Player



  • Improved display options for the F1 debug menu.
