Upgrade Notes
PokeMMO's "Compatibility Mode" software renderer has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
Affected users are notified that "Compatibility mode is enabled. Performance will be degraded." on every game start.
PokeMMO's desktop client now requires Java 11. Depending on your installation method, you may be required to manually upgrade your system to continue play. Expected compatibility is as follows:
No action is required for these system configurations:
Windows Installer (x86 & x64)
Android
Linux
* Most modern distributions, including Ubuntu 18.04+ & Debian Stable
macOS users using the previously released Optional macOS Launcher Update
Action may be required for these system configurations:
Windows Portable Zip
Recommended Action: Install the game client via the Windows Installer instead
Other Action: Install OpenJDK 11 from Azul
Old Linux Distributions
Recommended Action: Install OpenJDK 11 from your package manager and update the default java runtime environment for the system
macOS users with the older launcher
Required Action: Upgrade the macOS launcher as soon as it prompts for an upgrade
This launcher upgrade increases the minimum macOS version from 10.9.5 to 10.11.6
Note: A previous iteration of this post indicated a minimum macOS version requirement of 10.13.6. This was adjusted with the latest macOS Launcher update on 18/02/2021.
