What's new since v0.2.1

New options

  • Bloom and sharpening (F10 > Graphics > Post-processing), both off by default.
  • Field of view slider (experimental) (F10 > Graphics), 80 to 130 % of the game's.
  • Announce bean flavours on pickup (F10 > Enhancements, on by default). Turn it off and the flavour is no longer said aloud when Harry picks up a bean.

The launcher

  • Checks your game files. On the first start, after unpacking a disc image, and from "Verify game files", every file is compared with the disc's; damaged or missing ones are named, and "Repair" writes them again from a disc image in the game folder. Later starts only check the sizes.
  • A new look: the title in the Magic School One font over a Gryffindor scarlet backdrop, with no game artwork (the old main-menu picture is gone from every build); the exes have a wand icon in the same colours.
  • No more crash under Wine when a DXVK dxgi.dll sits beside the exes.
  • show_launcher is the first setting in hpps.toml, to bring the launcher page back (or hold Shift while starting it, or use F10).

Fixes

  • A crash leaves hpps_crash.log beside the game even with the debug logs off. Please include it when you report a crash.
  • Smoother camera: the game's timer runs at 3000 ticks a second from the start, which removed a camera judder.
  • Starts under Wine 11 and other setups where the usual memory address is taken.
  • Another edition's game files are turned away with a clear message instead of the game stopping at once. Only the PAL release works. A start-up fault that overwrote some of the game's data is also fixed.

Updating

Replace hpps.exe, hpps_launcher.exe and the other files from the zip. Keep your hpps.toml, saves\ and shadercache\. The launcher checks your game files once on its first start.
