📥 Changelog for v7.9.4 from 07.01.2024

Project

1. Updated date 2023 -> 2024.

Stella Mod Launcher & Genshin Stella Mod

1. Updated user hardware identification features. On specific computers (such as those equipped with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core Processor, AMD Radeon RX 6600, and an MS-7C91 motherboard [B550 chipset] with BIOS version 2.30 UEFI), an error was encountered stating Security breach detected! Wrong diskId data. This update effectively addresses and resolves this issue.

Key Updates to Consider:

1. Chipset Drivers: Regularly update your chipset drivers. These drivers are crucial for ensuring effective communication between the CPU and other hardware components, and they can improve system stability.
2. GPU Drivers: Keep your graphics card drivers updated. This is important for optimal visual performance and to ensure compatibility with the latest software and games.
3. BIOS Firmware: Update your BIOS firmware to the latest version. Updating BIOS can resolve various issues, improve system stability, and sometimes enhance hardware functionality.

Important BIOS Settings to Verify:

1. UEFI Mode: Ensure your BIOS is set to UEFI mode. UEFI mode is the modern replacement for legacy BIOS, offering more features and security.
2. AHCI Mode: Enable AHCI mode for your storage devices. AHCI mode is recommended for SATA drives to ensure optimal performance.

Regularly updating these aspects of your system and verifying these settings can help in maximizing the efficiency and performance of our software, as well as your overall PC system. Have fun!

Note

If you encounter any problems with our software, please contact the developer.
