Thanks to @Flash1122 for pointing out the potential security concerns so I could reach out to the team for a fix.
Some known problems with this beta version (to my knowledge):
Idle kicks will result in a broken / self-closing tab w/o a reconnect button
For some users some folders and files appear on the desktop
The files in question are: DawnCache/, GPUCache/, MediaDeviceSalts, MediaDeviceSalts-journal, and debug.log
They can be safely deleted
Until a fix is published they will reappear
The displayed chromium version is still not correct and only shows the major version
When the sidebar has a scrollbar the active server indicator has an unintended offset
The German translation is mostly done but not all translations are final
The emoji picker shows the wrong category when opened
Some users can not see the appearance settings
Kudos to @LeonMarcelHD for finding the source and solution to this problem!
This is caused by a malformed settings file and there is a fix.
The file preferences.json contains the following section: "application.language":"en". If the value is neither en nor de the appearance settings will not load. Simply set the value to en and restart the client.
Update 5.0.0-beta75 is unfortunately a bit of a mess right now.
It causes the appearance menu to not load at all, regardless of whether any user themes were loaded or not.
And like Gamer92000 says.
It automatically generates 2 files and 2 folders onto the desktop.
That being the MediaDeviceSalts, MediaDeviceSalts-journal, DawnCache and GPUCache.
Didn’t see debug.log being generated onto my desktop though.
And if you delete them after exiting TeamSpeak, it will generate them again the next time you boot it up.
I hope this can be quickly fixed.
Otherwise, it would have been better to stay on Update 5.0.0-beta74 for me personally.
Can you provide more details on this? Several installations run fine and open the view correctly.
It may be a better from a usability standpoint, but due the potential threat from CVE-2023-4863, the release of the beta was carried out earlier than planned. Therefore I would not recommend downgrading regardless of the fact, that the Client automatically updates to the latest version every time it is restarted.
→ there are ways to bypass the updater, but I don’t think they are an option for everyone.
I found the reason why the appearance settings were not opening. In your files you should see a preferences.json
On Windows it is here → %AppData%\TeamSpeak\Default
On Linux it is here → ~/.config/TeamSpeak/Default/
On macOS it is here → ~/Library/Preferences/TeamSpeak/Default/
(Default is your default Profile for TeamSpeak if nothing else is specified.
In this file you should specify the language of choice. Either German or English:
If it is empty or does not exist just add this or create the file and add this:
{"application.language":"en"} [ENGLISH] or {"application.language":"de"} [GERMAN]
If there is already something inside, you’ll need to format the content like this:
{"application.language":"en","application.mute_mic_on_lock":true} [ENGLISH] or {"application.language":"de","application.mute_mic_on_lock":true} [GERMAN]
→ this is just an example and may be different depending on your settings. Just make sure you’ll place the language part inside the curly braces with a comma spacing the other setting parts.
since 5.0.0-beta75 various files are created on the desktop at app start. I can’t delete them until i close the app. They will be recreated when i start the app again.
Here is a list:
DawnCache → data_0, data_1, data_2, data_3, index
GPUCache → data_0, data_1, data_2, data_3, index
These are created because they updated the CEF Version of the TeamSpeak Client as there has been a potential threat from CVE-2023-4863, therefore the release of the beta was carried out earlier than planned and this has been overlooked, as not everyone has these files on their desktop.
