Beta v0.1.3

Fourth beta of the Serious Sam (Xbox, USA) static recompilation for Windows: smoother mouse look and a widescreen fix.

You need your own copy of the game (original Xbox, USA release). Unzip, put your disc image (.iso or .xiso) beside serious_sam_recomp.exe and start it; the disc is extracted once into a game folder. Keep d3dcompiler_ms.dll next to the exe. Existing game folders and saves from earlier betas carry over.

Fixed since Beta v0.1.2

• Mouse look was uneven: mouse movement reached the game in bursts every 15.6 ms, so at high frame rates some frames got none and others two at once. It now arrives every frame
• Widescreen/ultrawide: resuming from the pause menu flashed to 4:3 for half a second while the menu slid away; it now stays wide

Known issues

• Only the first levels have been played (up to Tomb of Ramses)
• If an enemy is ever invisible, press F11 while it is on screen and attach the capture_*.txt it writes beside the exe
• A rare freeze during the boot movies
• One crash once seen after firing in Hatshepsut, and one stack overflow when loading Sand Canyon (neither reproduced since)
• The main menu has no music, and a Kleer only bursts into bones from a heavy enough hit; both are how the original plays

If it crashes, please attach serious_sam_log.txt from beside the exe.
