Where is the FireControl Compatibility version download located?
I’m running FireControl on Windows in VirtualBox on my Linux computer. FireControl runs fine except the visualizer window is blank and I get a message on startup I need to run the compatibility version due to incompatible graphics.
Therefore I have to reboot into native Windows to run CrossFire, but this is inconvenient with all my design tools running in Linux.
It would be nice if FireControl would simply switch out the visualizer window to the compatibility mode visualizer window if “incompatible graphics” are detected. It seems this would be far simpler than supporting a parallel version of FireControl.
It can be found at this location:

That’s my question, where is the compatibility version download link? I haven’t been able to find it anywhere including the Langmuir downloads area. Thank you.
I may have to try a different virtual machine that uses the gpu directly, unlike VirtualBox.
I did not explain that very well.
Let me start over. This is how the download page used to look:
I circled the one you will be looking for. It is version 21.1.5-compatibility
My conclusion is the they have removed the plain jane version of 21.1.5; and just left the “compatibility” name off since the new current version supersedes it. Back then, they had to tweak the current version. The current version is obvious a few versions along: FireControl 24.1.6.
That version is still available on that download page linked above. So I would say 21.1.5 IS the one compatible with older graphic cards.
Perhaps @Langmuir-Johnny or @langmuir-jake or @langmuir-zachary could weigh in on this. (Sorry guys. I can’t remember who is monitoring the forum.)
