FWIW: Just ran the updater for UVI Portal and then updated Falcon. No issues at all.

(Running DP 11.2 under Monterey.)

Looks like 2.8.1 of Falcon just dropped today. Appears to just be minor maintenance update, although not sure about the "disable metal layer on OSX" item. Perhaps slightly slower graphics until they have some "proper fixes?"
2.8.1
------------
- Fix crash with Ableton Live
- Fix crash with Slice Remixer if there was no sample in Slice oscillator
- Fix truncated volume name in browser for UFS with very long name on Windows
- Disable Metal layer on OSX until proper fixes

Maybe it's to maintain compatibility for those who haven't yet a Metal-capable graphics card James?

At any rate, it brings it to parity with the v2.8.1 library that was posted the other day. They must've discovered some minor bugs at the last minute and opted to sort them out first, is my thinking.
