Known Issues

Groups

Action and Command lists do not render any configured group names or groupings.

All actions and commands are listed in the order they have been added.

Viewer Context Menu

The context menu on users within the viewers tab may not render correctly. You need to move the mouse over the opening context menu to let it fully appear.

This issue has been resolved in Wine 7 and later
The speed with which the context menu appears can be improved by redirecting stdout to /dev/null
wine Streamer.bot.exe >/dev/null 2>&1

Streamer.bot Chat

The built-in chat and event feed windows will not work due to missing WebView2.
