| 11.8 doesn't include 5x1 sadly. You need to install 11.8 preview, then 5x1 will be available. If it's not, then run driver sweeper first and it should show up. I was able to still have 5x1 available on 11.8 release if I upgraded from 11.8 preview.. but then CCC failed to load properly. One annoying... |
