Barony Android Port 5.0.2 Beta 7

Beta 7 restores adaptive HDR exposure on Android so dark scenes retain normal
visibility without giving up the mobile framebuffer compatibility fixes.

Fixed

  • Dark areas now adapt beyond Beta 6's fixed exposure of 2.0.
  • Scene luminance is reduced to 1x1 on the GPU and read asynchronously through
    a double-buffered PBO, avoiding full-resolution framebuffer readback.
  • The proven core RGBA8 + DEPTH24_STENCIL8 framebuffer and linearly filtered
    RGBA8 lightmap paths remain unchanged.

Beta 6's 720p, 1080p, and Native render-resolution presets and 60, 90, and
120 FPS limits are also included.

Verification

  • Clean signed ARM64 release build from commit
    49cd82747307dd71f31137858bb64cf32cfbb9bf.
  • The exact release APK was installed over the public adaptive-HDR test build
    on a Galaxy S24 Ultra / Adreno 750, and its installed hash matched the local
    verified artifact.
  • Both checked framebuffers were complete. Adaptive exposure progressed from
    2.000 to 3.488 during startup, and no framebuffer, luminance-reduction,
    shader, GL, crash, or ANR failure was detected.
  • Startup, lightmap, touch-layout, and all three DLC entitlement diagnostics
    passed on the S24 Ultra.
  • The Poco F7 / Adreno 825 reporter confirmed normal brightness, no flickering
    or corrupted tiles, solid performance at Native / 60 FPS, and successful
    background/resume with the identical renderer implementation.
  • Hosted Android CI independently builds and verifies clean smoke and full
    ARM64 APKs from public main.

Compatibility

  • ARM64 devices running Android 8.0 or newer.
  • Offline single-player.
  • Gamepad, mouse/keyboard, and optional touch controls.
  • Users must own compatible Barony 5.0.2 game data and any DLC they enable.
  • Existing Beta 5 or newer owned-data archives, saves, settings, and transferred
    DLC entitlements remain compatible; no archive rebuild is required.
  • Steamworks, EOS, PlayFab, achievements, Workshop, and multiplayer services
    remain disabled.

Updating

Install the APK over Beta 5, Beta 6, or the adaptive-HDR test build; do not
uninstall first. Beta 7 uses version code 15000220 so test-build users can
upgrade in place. Existing owned data, saves, settings, and DLC entitlements
are retained.

The APK is code-only and contains no commercial Barony game data or DLC assets.
