A small update to the beta: fewer crashes, and a controller that plays more like a guitar.
Important
You need your own copy of the game: the USA / Europe Xbox 360 disc, as an ISO. This release contains none of the game's files.
New
- Auto-strum on controllers too, GH2 / GH3 style: each fret button strums as you press it, as the keyboard already could, and a chord is one strum. Turn on "Strum when a fret is pressed" in the launcher's Controls tab, on your controller. It works only during a song, so the menus are not affected.
Fixed
- The game no longer closes now and then with a crash: the controllers were read from several threads at once.
- The whammy bar no longer acts half pressed on every sustain when you play with a controller or the keyboard. Push the right stick to either side to use it (the Right arrow on the keyboard).
- James's guitar and Rob's bass are no longer white during songs.
Known issues
- Singing is experimental: if the pitch line jumps around, lower the microphone's Gain in the launcher; if the game does not hear you, raise it.
- Drums, AMD graphics cards, and Wii or PS3 instruments have not been tested yet.
- Above 60 FPS and the keyboard are experimental.
- The full list is in the README.
How to update or install
- Already on 0.2.0: open GH Metallica Launcher, go to Updates and install 0.2.1. Your profile, saves and settings stay.
- New install: download the installer (GHMetalRecomp-v0.2.1-setup.exe), or the zip (GHMetalRecomp-v0.2.1-win64.zip) and extract it into a folder you can write to (not Program Files). Open GH Metallica Launcher, choose your ISO, create your profile, press PLAY, and calibrate the audio and video once in the game's options.
Windows may warn about an unknown publisher the first time: click More info, then Run anyway.
