B2recomp v0.2.2 is a small fix for smoother motion on some PCs. As before, this download contains no game files: the game is built on your PC from your own dump.

DISCLAIMER - If you open a issue with no stdout.txt It will be closed accordingly I can't go into your issue and help resolve it being blind to what is going on to the game on your system compared to what your telling me.

Side Note: Nvidia cards have had no reported issue so far which is what this was originally developed for so AMD cards are bound to encounter issues on windows bc the Vulkan 1.3 driver lacks features on Windows But not Linux so they may be the alternative for AMD for now once I release the linux version

##Fixed

  • Uneven motion after a short stall. The game times its frames to your monitor's refresh. On a slower PC (reported on an RX 560 with an i7-4770), a stall of a tenth of a second during play switched that off for the rest of the session, so one frame was shown twice about every 5 seconds. Now the game locks to the refresh again a second later. Nothing changes on PCs where this never happened.
  • Included from v0.2.1: the start-up crash with error code 6 on an RX 9070 XT, and tearing / flickering on AMD cards.

How to use

  1. Unzip B2recomp-builder-870d9ab.zip into a new folder.
  2. Start B2recomp.exe, choose your dump folder and press Build (about 5 minutes on a 16-thread PC).
  3. When the build is done, choose your settings and press Play.

Updating from v0.2.0 or v0.2.1: copy the build\play\userdata folder (your saves) and the config folder (your settings and controls) from your old B2recomp folder into the new one after the build. You can also copy the cache folder, so the game does not prepare its shaders again on the first start.

Windows SmartScreen may warn about B2recomp.exe because it is not signed: choose "More info", then "Run anyway".

Status

Tested on one Windows 11 PC with an NVIDIA GPU (the stall was simulated there). Logs from players (build\play\stdout.txt) are very welcome, especially from AMD cards. Please report problems on the Issues page (never attach game files).
