v0.2.1-beta.1: Version 0.2.1-beta.1

Beta 1 of 0.2.1: big DLC collections can no longer stop the game with "Disc Read Error"

Warning

This is a test version, before 0.2.1. The launcher's Updates page does not offer it: download it from here. When 0.2.1 comes out, Updates will offer it to you.

Important

You need your own copy of the game: the Xbox 360 disc, as an ISO. This release contains none of the game's files.

Fixed

• "Disc Read Error" with many DLC packages installed. While the game checked your packages one by one, the recompilation's system layer could close one of the game's own files that it was still reading, and the game then showed "Disc Read Error". It was found in GH Warriors of Rock, where a collection of 190 packages showed it at every start. GH5 checks its packages the same way, but faster, so it was much less likely here: it did not show up in our tests with the same 190 packages. This version fixes it in both games. Thanks to Jazzverso for the logs.

Known issues

• Only Guitar Hero 5's own downloadable content adds songs.
• Drums and singing have not been tested in this game yet.
• AMD graphics cards have only been checked in a simulation.
• Above 60 FPS and the keyboard are experimental.
• The full list is in the README.

How to install

• Over your install: extract the zip (GH5Recomp-v0.2.1-beta.1-win64.zip) into your install folder, replacing the files. Your profile, saves, settings and installed DLC stay.
• New install: download the installer (GH5Recomp-v0.2.1-beta.1-setup.exe), or the zip and extract it into a folder you can write to (not Program Files). The first start asks for your ISO.
