Project RE: Visited - Resident Evil 3 v1.4.3 (Authentic Timing & Smooth Transitions)

Project RE: Visited - Resident Evil 3 (v1.4.3 Authentic Timing & Smooth Transitions Release)

Official v1.4.3 maintenance and polish release restoring authentic dialogue audio playback cadence, smooth camera angle cuts, seamless room transitions, and sanitized distribution packaging.

---

What's New in v1.4.3:

• Authentic Dialogue Speed & Audio Cadence Restored:

  • Unconditionally disabled the generic PSXRecomp turbo_loads loader (g_turbo_loads_enabled = 0).
  • Removed turbo_loads = true from settings and launcher persistence, eliminating the 30-frame CD burst gap bridge (CD_BURST_GAP_FRAMES) and release frames that previously bled into save loading.
  • Jill's voice lines, opening monologues, and in-game dialogues now play at 100% natural, authentic 60 FPS pacing.

• Smooth Door Transitions & Camera Angle Cuts:

  • Door Skip unpaced acceleration is strictly bound to active physical CD sector reading (cdrom_data_read_active = reading && !xa_stream_active), dropping back to 60 FPS pacing immediately upon sector delivery.
  • Eliminated the abrupt catapult/flinging effect where the character was propelled forward violently during angle switches or room entrances.
  • Restored GPU message box detection (gpu_is_message_box_active) and the 15-frame camera cut stabilization threshold for seamless fixed-camera framing.

• Cleaned & Standardized Distribution Architecture:

  • Purged old diagnostic freeze dumps (psx_freeze_dump_*.json) and temporary telemetry files from game distribution folders.
  • Standardized Launcher window title to v1.4.3.
  • Recompiled release binaries and updated documentation across all supported languages (EN, PT-BR, ES).

Project RE: Visited - Resident Evil 3 v1.4.1 (Sanitization & Stability Release)

Project RE: Visited - Resident Evil 3 (v1.4.1 Sanitization & Stability Release)

Official v1.4.1 maintenance release delivering a comprehensive technical audit, complete dead-code sanitization, configuration persistence fixes, and synchronized release binaries.

---

What's New in v1.4.1:

• GPU & Runtime Dead-Code Sanitization:

  • Removed obsolete heuristic safe-zone hooks and dead latch variables from gpu.c and gpu_gl_renderer.c.
  • Removed disconnected QoL prototypes from main.cpp, ensuring an uncluttered, stable codebase.
  • Fixed camera cut snap logic in the renderer to eliminate any remaining inter-camera drift.

• Launcher Configuration Persistence:

  • Launcher SaveConfig() now reliably preserves advanced settings.toml options, including turbo_loads = true and rumble_intensity = 1.0.
  • Fixed runtime initialization logic where g_turbo_loads_enabled could be inadvertently cleared.
  • Standardized the Launcher window title to v1.4.1.

• Honest & Clear Display Modes:

  • 16:9 Widescreen Stretched: Optimal modern full-screen presentation without cutting dialogue boxes, examination subtitles, or Live Selection prompts.
