When I start Hybrid and check "x264->Quantization->Adaptive Quantization" there are
- disabled
- manual
- automatic
- automatic2 (= aq-mode 3, available since rev 2015.06.28.1)
as options and from the looks of it there is no code in Hybrid which changes this.

----
Import works fine here.

"adaptive Quantization" itself is turned on right?

Correction: I can reproduce the issue on Linux.
-> looking into it

Okay, I know where the issue is:
x264 --version reports: "x264 0.164.x" on Linux
on Windows it reports: "x264 0.164.3075 66a5bc1"
Hybrid interpretes the '.x' as 0 and the '.3075' properly as 3075.
-> I'll think about it.

As a temporary workaround you can change the toolsInfos Hybrid has.
If you check under "Config->Paths->Infos->Settings path" should show you the path where Hybrid saves it's settings on you system (usually ~/.hybrid).
In that folder there's a file named toolInfos.xml in which you should find an entry like:
<ToolInfo version="164" name="x264" path="./x264" additions="opencl;lavfFFMS"/>
If you close Hybrid and change the version to 3075 and then restart Hybrid, the option should be there.
