v0.2.45

v0.2.45 — match wins now count after long pauses + SOCD picker actually applies offline

Two real-world bugs from the forum, both "thing I configured silently does nothing" with a confusingly-cheerful UI:

1. Match wins not counting after a long pause (aprl, Spooder, pringle, Patrick, toki)

Symptom: a long pause mid-set, then subsequent wins don't update the W/L. aprl reported 12-5 instead of 15-5 after a ft5. Spooder reported "played a looooong set, but not a single match was recorded." pringle suspected the long-pause angle, called it.

Cause: when the hub WebSocket dropped (long-pause keepalive timeout is the classic trigger), PollMatchOutcome early-returned silently. Every subsequent match outcome was lost for the rest of the set. The local results.csv mirror was also gated behind the same early-return, so the per-user record drifted too.

Fix: outcomes now fall through on disconnect. Local CSV writes immediately (every match is captured offline-side, no matter what the hub is doing). The hub send is queued onto a per-launcher pending_match_results vector; on reconnect the K::Connected handler drains the queue and replays every entry. W/L/D + recent-matches refresh after the catch-up, so the UI snaps to the corrected totals right away.

Launcher restarts will still lose pending entries — but the local CSV already captured them, so the per-user record stays accurate even if the hub is permanently down.

2. SOCD picker doesn't apply offline (Froglet)

Symptom: the SOCD combo in the input binder appeared to save fine but the spawned game always ran at the default (Hitbox SOCD — L+R neutral, U+D = U wins). No matter what you picked, you got the default.

Cause (two-fold):

• The launcher wrote FM2K_SOCD_MODE_P1 / _P2 via _putenv_s, but the hook reads FM2K_SOCD_MODE (no suffix), AND _putenv_s writes the CRT env table — CreateProcess inherits the Win32 env table. So even the suffixed vars never reached the child process.
• StartOfflineSession never set FM2K_SOCD_MODE at all; only the online K::MatchStart handler did. Offline play therefore always ran at the compiled-in default.

Fix: ::SetEnvironmentVariableA("FM2K_SOCD_MODE", ...) from LoadSocdState (so the first launch inherits the saved setting) and from the combo change handler (live update). Online K::MatchStart still re-applies the role-resolved per-slot value on top, so host/guest each pick their own.

Also in this build

• v0.2.44's launcher resilience (Ianthina's bad-UTF-8 manifest crash) is still in.
• Hook now emits valid UTF-8 manifests (game_id + paths via the wide Win32 APIs).
• Per-game input override actually loads offline (v0.2.43).
• Idle CPU/GPU vsync soft-cap (v0.2.42).
• Games-folder window has Browse buttons via SDL3's native folder picker.
• New: per-game input binder offline routing works for all FM2K games (was online-only).

Known issues still being investigated

• Computed-delay can pick different values on the two peers when the link is jittery (Melancholy, toki). On stable links both peers see the same RTT and agree; on jittery links the means drift. Workaround: flip the launcher's Delay combo from "computed" to a fixed value (8–12 is a good starting range) to force symmetric delay until the fix lands.
• Replay desync past ~4000 frames and spectator-mid-battle determinism (para). Still open.
• Audio/music continues into CSS (toki). Acknowledged as a core 2dfm-rollback issue.
