What's Changed in v2.8.4

PZ-ModGuard v2.8.4 whitelists the new Shenandoah GC probing and vendor upscaler asset downloading features in Viewpoint (3809306528).

🛡️ Viewpoint Performance & Upscaling Whitelist

  • Shenandoah GC Optimization Probe (Collector.class): Whitelisted ProcessBuilder.start used exclusively to invoke java.exe -version on the game's JDK to check for Shenandoah GC support (offering smoother frame rates and fewer micro-stutters in Build 42).
  • Vendor Upscaler Asset Downloader (NativeDownload.class): Whitelisted URL.openConnection used to download official signed vendor upscaler DLLs (AMD FSR, Intel XeSS, NVIDIA DLSS/Streamline) directly from verified manufacturer GitHub repositories with SHA-256 cryptographic verification when upscaling is enabled in game options.
  • Continuous Bytecode Auditing: All Viewpoint classes and other mod JARs continue to undergo strict heuristic inspection for malicious code, trojans, and webhooks.

📦 Assets Included

  • PZ-ModGuard.bat (Windows launcher & scanner)
  • pz_modguard.py (Linux / SteamOS / Cross-platform core scanner)
  • pz-modguard.sh (Linux launcher)
