What's new since 0.3

• Fix guest-memory exhaustion during extended play by reusing freed allocations. This resolves the reproduced out-of-memory crash during Jungle volleyball.
• Recover missing Take a Rest callback and predicate paths, including the reported morning and Tina midday stops.
• Correct the excessive white glare at the dusk pool.
• Correct input-history expiry that caused delayed crouches at rally start after an action button was released.
• Restore the reached Radio Station entry callback.
• Show FPS and frame time in the window title and log performance once per second, with continuous image capture disabled by default.
• Build the game as x64 Release with Visual Studio 2022, matching the tested local runtime.

Tested and still open

This release retains the tested R6 runtime and generation unchanged. The player reports Jungle, Beach, Niki Beach, Private Beach, Take a Rest and Hopping Game working. The latest session ran for approximately 27 minutes and closed normally. Final performance samples were 60 FPS; this does not establish uninterrupted 60 FPS throughout the session.

All ten native tests and eight setup/recipe/extraction/launcher tests pass. The sound allocation stress check completes 3,072 create/free cycles, compared with failure after 161 on the previous allocator. These checks do not establish complete game fidelity or every route/time variant.

Known issues: occasional 1–4 second volleyball slowdowns, movie and area-transition slowdown, audio crackle, and some hair/rendering defects. The previously reported Zack of All Trades exit crash has not been reconfirmed fixed. The cause of the volleyball stalls, including any connection to allocation, remains under investigation. Full offline acceptance is still open.

Setup

1. Extract the whole ZIP into a new folder with a short path.
2. Drag your supported USA game ISO onto BuildGame.cmd and wait for Setup complete.
3. Open RunGame.cmd in the same folder.

Requires Windows 10/11 x64, Git with internet access, CMake 3.20+, and Visual Studio 2022 Build Tools with the C++ desktop workload and a Windows SDK. Python, Capstone and the ISO extractor are bundled. If the extractor needs it, install the included Prerequisites/vc_redist.x86.exe.

Download and rebuild to receive these fixes. Preserve your previous installation and saves; saves are not migrated automatically. Audio is enabled at the standard 0.2 game gain. The package contains source and prerequisite tools, with no game files or prebuilt game runner. GitHub's automatic source archives require separately installed tools. See README.txt, CHANGELOG.md and docs/building.md.

Please report issues with reproduction steps and your build version. Remove private paths from logs; do not upload game files, generated game code, saves or BIOS.
