Release notes Ymir v0.4.1
Discord | Patreon | Compatibility list | Screenshots

This is a small maintenance release that fixes a Windows ARM crash on startup caused by a DXC build issue.

Check v0.4.0 release notes for details on what's included in this release.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Windows users: install the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package (x86_64 installer, AArch64/ARM64 installer) before running the emulator. This is mandatory to avoid crashes on startup.
>
> macOS users: follow these instructions to allow Ymir to run on your system. Ymir is signed with an ad-hoc certificate, flagging it as unverified.
>
> Linux users: if you choose to install the Flatpak version or installed Ymir from the SteamOS's Discover Store, make sure to grant Ymir permission to access the filesystem or your multi-file disc images won't load properly.
>
> It is recommended to install the latest GPU drivers in order to use Direct3D or Vulkan:
> - Nvidia: Find your GPU here or use the Nvidia App to update drivers automatically
> - AMD: Find your GPU or CPU here or use the download buttons at the top to update drivers automatically
> - Intel: Find your GPU or CPU here
>
> Do not use Windows Device Manager or Windows Update to update your GPU drivers, as they tend to have poor performance and lack support for advanced GPU features.
>
> Always update your integrated GPU driver first, even if you're not using it. This also applies to desktop PCs with dedicated graphics cards.
