Does the error say that it's caused by Razer Synapse? Please disable the LED plugin then because we are still waiting for Razer to fix this: https://steamcommunity.com/app/431960/discussions/2/2944746708993180912/

If this is not it, please create a thread here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/431960/discussions/1/ and perhaps you can include the error message you are getting.

Just as a heads-up, we have changed the video file size limit to 2 GB but kept the other types at 1 GB. This is sufficient for most 4k videos we can find here, but specifically 4k MMD videos.

The Workshop abuse has been turning into quite a significant issue and therefore a limit like this is urgently needed. These limits should cover 99% of legitimate wallpapers and for anyone else, as it has been mentioned before, we can disable the limitation if they have an upload where they specifically want to share a higher quality video.

Update failed - File Verification Errors. Says it's running and needs to be closed but isn't running. No antivirus. Tried verifying through Steam file check.

Launches and seems to work fine still, but anyways.

That's unusual, turn off Wallpaper Engine manually by right-clicking on the tray icon and selecting "Quit". Then check Windows Task manager and look for any of these .exe files and terminate them:

wallpaper32.exe
wallpaper64.exe
launcher.exe
webwallpaper32.exe
ui32.exe

If you cannot solve it, please create a thread on our help forum, we cannot provide proper support in the update news, thanks.

卸载之后在安装打不开了，防火墙杀毒软件全部关了都没有用，显示文件路径丢失

Yea, for some reason none of the processes were showing up in task manager, I deleted the applications (after restarting pc, because it said files were in use), bin, and redistribution folders and redownloaded through steam.

I post wallpapers with nature in 4k 60 fps, and my three minutes of recording is always more than one gigabyte.How do I upload my video wallpaper now?
I don't like the size limitation, as a lot of high quality video wallpapers will be lost (

Hello,
Thank you for this update, however I noticed something. I usually hide/reveal effect layers while working on an other effect's layer brush to see how the effects blend together, I do that very frequently, now the brush force closes itself when trying to do that, is there any alternate method with the new update?

It looks like your videos are smaller than 2 GB and the limitation for videos is 2 GB.

You can still hide the other effects before editing a texture, you just can't do that while the brush menu is open. It's being closed because some people were confused about how this editing state is not actually saving the texture. It would probably be worth still having some other solution like a button in the brush tools to isolate the effect temporarily, meaning all others get hidden while that is enabled.

Thank you for your reply on this, i understand what you mean. It isn't a huge issue as I don't think many edit wallpapers the way I do, I take unusual approaches (like hiding specific effect layers while working on another layer's brush). Having a button would be worth I agree, in case someone else likes to work this way.
No pressure though, already adapting to this change.
Thanks,

Sure, no worries. Maybe our issue would also have solved itself already by how the new brush panel is replacing the layer hierarchy menu when opened, that makes it pretty obvious that one is currently editing with a brush.

I still think having a button to quickly isolate the effect you're editing right in the brush menu would be nicer though, that's more streamlined than having to go back to the renderable menu and disabling several other effects once by one. Of course in some situations you may only want to remove certain effects but not others (like shake) so for that case being able to hide effects individually is still superior.

In any case we'll look into adding a button for this or perhaps disabling this restriction again for now to see if people are still confused about how the brush tool saves/is closed or not. Perhaps it's not even an issue anymore like I mentioned.

Yeah I agree, thank you for taking the time to reply and the time to look into the button option. @Biohazard
