EA-Weekly Changelog: 8.3.0\*-b20250303 ## Swing ### Designer **IGN-10289: 8.3 Designer slowdown** Fixed a problem where the polarity of the **Disable Direct3D** (Platform\>System\>Gateway Settings\>Launch Settings) option was reversed. ## Security ### User Sources **IGN-10214: RFC-32 (Modern RPC) Adoption: Users** Transitioned the existing RPC over to the Modern RPC that relates to Users. ## Web UI ### Web UI **IGN-11904: Audit Logs Deployment Mode and config overhaul** Audit Profiles page now supports deployment modes and backup config. Due to changes in the form handling, audit profiles created in previous versions may see a validation error saying "Description cannot be null" when attempting to edit an audit profile with no description. Workaround: provide a description when editing, save changes, then remove the description again if needed. **IGN-11911: ResourceModeDataGrid should not disable the ability to create an override** Allow creating a config override as long as either one or more user-defined modes exist, or the resource is not defined in the active mode. For example, this allows creating an override in 'core' for named resources defined in 'system', such as stock JDBC drivers. ## Reporting ### Reporting **IGN-10202: RFC-32 (Modern RPC) Adoption: Reporting** Transitioned the existing RPC over to the Modern RPC. ---
