AfroSamuraiRecomp v0.0.12 – RTV black frames fixed, stable 30 FPS

Highlights

• RTV black frames fixed – stable 30 FPS. The black frames in combat and at cutscene camera cuts are gone. The game now runs at a stable 30 FPS on the default RTV path (host render targets), with a correct image.

Changes

• Cause of the black frames: EDRAM range wraparound in the render target cache. An end-of-frame depth-only pass (at EDRAM tile 736, estimated 2048 tiles long) wrapped round to tile 0 and took ownership of the colour image (tiles 0-720). The lossy colour→depth→colour transfer then blacked out the frame whenever the game skipped the pass that normally restores it. The new GPU plugin patch patches/rexglue/afro-edram-no-wrap.patch (cvar afro_edram_no_wrap, default on) clamps the range instead of letting it wrap.
• Default GPU render path is RTV again (correct image, stable 30 FPS).
• ROV is still available as a fallback: Advanced options (--advanced) or --render_target_path_d3d12=rov.
• tools/build_gpu_plugin.bat applies every patches/rexglue/*.patch, skipping those already applied.

Known issues

• Some gameplay voice lines are silent or cut off (music and sound effects are fine).
• Only the Europe disc is supported.
