"The latest update for Shield Android TV is fully complaint with the Vulkan graphics API from the Khronos Group. "

Freudian slip?

Warning if you're using the Gamesome app. After the update It messes up your configuration because it changes the folder location of your USB stick. It can't be fixed either because Gamesome crashes when you try to go back to the parent folder. Hopefully when Gamesone updates it'll get fixed.

One other I don't like is that you still can't move data to the SD Card. So if you sideload an app with data. Especially large data. It still goes on the Internal HDD taking up storage space. You can move the app to the SD Card but it only moves the tiny portion installed from the apk file. Data will not be moved to the SD Card.

Oh the irony in this .. Vulkan has a lot of Mantle API code from AMD and they didn`t want to support Mantle ... Nvidia is like the envious kid from the school.
