Important Notes
1. Starting from this version, we will gradually implement native Apple Silicon support for all applications. Current status is as follows:
Name | Description | Native Apple Silicon |
|---|---|---|
lw | Main Application | ❌ |
lwui | Control Panel | ❌ |
exstudio | EX Studio | ✅ |
lwtray | System Tray App | ❌ |
motiontracker | Motion Tracker | ❌ |
launcher | Launcher | ❌ |
instanceManager | Instance Manager | ❌ |
update | Updater | ❌ |
2.Since the third-party web browser plugin currently in use is outdated, it has been replaced with a maintained one (Currently EX Studio only). However, the following limitations apply:
Windows 32-bit systems are not supported.
On macOS, it still runs via Rosetta, so the initial loading time will be long (expected to be resolved in a future update).
