HaptiSync Center 1.4.0 – September 14, 2026

This release brings a major focus on hardware monitoring, giving both users and our support team deeper visibility into system status and history, along with several improvements and bug fixes that enhance stability and overall performance.

Features

  • Added a new Fault History section to the Haptic Output/Status page, giving users visibility into past hardware faults directly within HaptiSync Center.

  • Fixed an issue where the currently selected Adaptive Gaming profile was not being returned correctly.
  • Reduced the number of Motion Engine restarts required when installing or updating a haptic code.
  • Various stability and reliability improvements. 

Known Issue:
