0.2.0: your DLC folder, no more "Disc Read Error" with lots of DLC, and clean audio on slower PCs

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.

Everything from the two 0.1.1 betas, now in a release: the launcher's Updates page offers it.

New

  • Your DLC folder. In the launcher's DLC tab, choose the folder where you keep your Xbox 360 packages (LIVE, PIRS or CON files, in it or its subfolders), with as many games' DLC as you like. The game reads the packages from there: nothing is copied. Before, the launcher extracted a copy of every package for each game, so the same DLC took two or three times the space with several Guitar Heroes installed. You can point the other ElGus Recomps launchers at the same folder, and your files are never modified or deleted, so they still work on a real Xbox 360. The folder is checked every time you open the launcher, so new DLC you add shows up on its own.
  • The DLC list is grouped by game (Warriors of Rock, Guitar Hero 5, World Tour...), each group folding open or shut, with how many are on and a switch for the whole group. Every package has its own switch too.
  • Packages the game cannot read come turned off, with a note saying what would happen with one on (the game would report it as damaged). You can still turn one on yourself.
  • Fewer first-time stutters: "Compiling shaders" now prepares more of the game's graphics (639 combinations, up from 549). It runs once more after you update, for a few seconds.

Fixed

  • "Disc Read Error" a few seconds after starting the game with many DLC packages.
  • Crackling in songs on slower PCs. The game's audio could fall behind during songs and skip a few milliseconds every fraction of a second. If you changed audio_callback_min_interval_us in ghwor.toml to work around it, you can leave it or delete that line.

Community custom songs

The community's custom songs need its GH:WoR Customs Database package in your DLC folder too: without it the number of songs can change from one start to the next.

Already have DLC installed?

It keeps working, you don't need to do anything: it shows up as Installed copies in the DLC tab. If your DLC folder has the same packages, the launcher tells you how much space those installed copies take, and Remove copies deletes them (it asks first, and never touches your DLC folder); the game then reads the packages from your folder.

Known issues

  • 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

  • Update: the launcher's Updates page offers 0.2.0. Or extract the zip (GHWoRRecomp-v0.2.0-win64.zip) into your install folder, replacing the files. Your profile, saves, settings and DLC stay.
  • New install: download the installer (GHWoRRecomp-v0.2.0-setup.exe), or the zip and extract it into a folder you can write to (not Program Files). Open GH Warriors of Rock Launcher, choose the ISO of your game, create your profile (or keep the one you already have from another ElGus Recomps game) and press PLAY.

Windows may warn about an unknown publisher the first time: click More info, then Run anyway.
