Was it not released for everyone else yet?

Anyway, did your customization get removed or changed around? I have custom dynamic backgrounds for everything, and a few custom playlists using their own icons. Haven't seen any loses to all that after the update, though, everything seems the same.

I lost my custom menu icons, my playlist console icons the ones that are shown at the top of the playlist and the icons i made that are shown in front of the game names since all these icons reside in the asset folder they got over written even though i had the folder set to read only. No problem though as i had a backup and all i had to do was copy it back over replacing the files.

My playlist backgrounds and 3d/2d boxart and 3d/2d cd/cartridge icons which i used to replace the screenshots remained.

Did retroarch update for you in the past 2 days?

Yeah, around morning. I thought it was odd that there wasn't a Steam post about it, so I checked the discussions for anyone talking about it, found your earlier thread, and well, here we are.

Weird that i got it on the 28th and you got it on the 29th. Even their website where you download the standalone version is 1.21.0 now. On the 28th when i checked their website it was still 1.20.0. Also it's weird the devs hasn't said anything here yet.

Usually some of my customizations are reset to defaults after updating. For this update, I was not prompted to update. The update occurred automatically before I was given the option to update, and all of my customizations are intact. Nice.
