Added

  • FAQ covering Discord RPC, log locations, and VR, adapted from upstream.
  • input.raw_mouse in config.yaml sends mouse look deltas in the host's
    own units. Turn it on when first-person aiming feels too slow or too fast
    under fractional display scaling. Off by default.
  • Nightly AppImage builds, published as the continuous prerelease. They are
    untested; use a tagged release for normal play.

Changed

  • Values in fflags.json now win over the performance preset instead of
    stopping the launch. Startup prints each key it kept.
  • Discord Rich Presence uses Nightcap's own Discord application, so it shows
    as "Playing Nightcap". Terms and privacy pages for it live on the
    project site.
  • Discord Rich Presence is on by default. Set
    integrations.discord_rpc.enabled: false to turn it off.
  • The AppImage build verifies its reduced dependency packages against digests
    taken at build time, rather than a digest list kept in the repository.

Fixed

  • Mouse look keeps responding after a long turn. The tracked pointer position
    could drift past the edge of the view, which swallowed every reversal until
    the mouse travelled all the way back.
  • Nightcap no longer refuses to start with cannot lock appStorage. It
    created its own credential directory using the process umask, then rejected
    that directory for being group writable. Systems with a permissive umask,
    such as 002, failed on first run.
