# Release v1.0.4
|
|
|
|
**"The Compatibility Update"**
|
|
|
|
This release focuses on maximum stability across different hardware configurations (AMD, Intel, Nvidia) and fixing startup crashes related to corrupted models or missing drivers.
|
|
|
|
## 🛠️ Critical Fixes
|
|
|
|
### 1. Robust CPU Fallback (AMD / Intel Support)
|
|
* **Problem**: Previously, if an AMD user tried to run the app, it would crash instantly because it tried to load Nvidia CUDA libraries by default.
|
|
* **Fix**: The app now **silently detects** if CUDA initialization fails (due to missing DLLs or incompatible hardware) and **automatically falls back to CPU mode**.
|
|
* **Result**: The app "just works" on any Windows machine, regardless of GPU.
|
|
|
|
### 2. Startup Crash Protection
|
|
* **Problem**: If `faster_whisper` was imported before checking for valid drivers, the app would crash on launch for some users.
|
|
* **Fix**: Implemented **Lazy Loading** for the AI engine. The app now starts the UI first, and only loads the heavy AI libraries inside a safety block that catches errors.
|
|
|
|
### 3. Corrupt Model Auto-Repair
|
|
* **Problem**: Interrupted downloads could leave a corrupted model folder, preventing the app from ever starting again.
|
|
* **Fix**: If the app detects a "vocabulary missing" or invalid config error, it will now **automatically delete the corrupt folder** and allow you to re-download it cleanly.
|
|
|
|
### 4. Windows DLL Injection
|
|
* **Fix**: Added explicit DLL path injection for `nvidia-cublas` and `nvidia-cudnn` to ensure Python 3.8+ can find the required CUDA libraries on Windows systems that don't have them in PATH.
