- Creating a new document with an active live link can cause the application to hang or crash
- Making linked instances unique leads to a crash
- Crash when embedding a vrscene that contains an animated vegetation Cosmos Asset
- Envision crashes at startup due to a low-level graphics DX feature check failure
- Enscape light intensity is set to 0 lm and does not update in Envision with Live Link
- “Wave flow” icons are reversed
- Live-Link Camera Field of View is not updating in real time
- Minimum intensity fails for multi-selection IES

## **Known Limitations**

---
