Known Issues

  • In the System Setup Wizard and the system hardware settings dialog, the information presented is for information only, and is not editable.
  • An active internet connection is required in order to use the the Games Database, Voting, HowTo and Release notes options from the TransGaming menu and the toolbar. Depending on your browser settings, it may take a few seconds for the requested page to show up in your browser.
  • There is a new method of handling configuration options in this version of Point2Play. Games installed under previous versions of Point2Play will still be available, however if you have adjusted any of the configuration options for them, you may need to create a new configuration profile for them. Please see the HowTo for more information on how to work with the Configuration Manager.
  • Point2Play 2.0 does not currently support localization. Stay tuned for an upcoming release which will have this support.
  • When editing a Version Default Configuration Profile hitting the Default button will cause the Cedega version to be changed to the current default version. To work around this go to the TransGaming menu item and select the default version of Cedega to be the same as that you want to edit then edit the profile.
