Release B2recomp v0.2.3 · K0NL/B2recomp

B2recomp v0.2.3 is a small update for the launcher. As before, this download contains no game files: the game is built on your PC from your own dump.

Fixed

Launcher without a Play button on high-resolution screens. At high display scaling (for example a 4K screen at 200-300 %), the launcher window was taller than the screen, so the bottom row with Play could be out of reach. The launcher now scales itself down to fit your screen.

Report... button. At the bottom of the launcher, and on the build screen. It makes b2recomp-report.zip in your B2recomp folder with the logs and your PC’s details (Windows version, CPU, memory, graphics card and driver), and nothing of the game. If you need help, attach that file to an issue with a few words on what happened.
AMD Radeon RX 400 / 500 (Polaris) explained in the README. AMD’s Windows driver for these cards lacks Vulkan features B2recomp normally uses, so the game takes a slower path on them. It runs, as confirmed on an RX 560, but builds more shaders while you play the first time. On Linux these cards get the full renderer (https://github.com/K0NL/B2recomp/releases/tag/linux-test-1)

Unzip B2recomp-builder-8454a34.zip into a new folder.
Start B2recomp.exe, choose your dump folder and press Build (about 5 minutes on a 16-thread PC).
When the build is done, choose your settings and press Play.

Updating from v0.2.x: after the build, copy these folders from your old B2recomp folder into the new one:

build\play\userdata (your saves);
config (your settings and controls);
optionally cache, 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”.

The game itself is unchanged from v0.2.2. Please report problems on the Issues page with the file from Report... (never attach game files).
