World War VR v0.4.0 Beta 1

Beta 1 focuses on custom-map stability, stereo effects, and installation compatibility.

What changed

• Fixed a renderer-transition race that could produce Direct3DDevice9::Present failed: Invalid call when a custom map or mod recreated the game’s D3D9 device or swap chain.
• Preserved native Present and Reset routing across renderer recreation so World War VR can safely reconnect after a mod reload.
• Added a profile-gated stereo correction for emissive particles and smoke that could appear in only one eye.
• Added a seam-safe, per-eye bloom/glow pass for stereo gameplay, improving glowing power-ups and energy effects.
• Reduced renderer-thread logging overhead and repeated diagnostic output.
• Restored support for installations where the verified executable and game-data directory are stored separately.
• Updated the tested compatibility documentation for Meta Quest 2 and Quest 3 with Virtual Desktop.

Known caveats

• Custom maps and mods are third-party content. This update fixes the renderer transition, but not every map’s scripts or assets are guaranteed to be compatible.
• The stereo bloom pass is intentionally conservative and may not exactly match the original flat-screen bloom.
• Higher VR-quality settings can still produce performance spikes while the D3D9 CPU capture fallback is active.
• Zombies remains the primary supported mode. Campaign and Multiplayer are experimental; online multiplayer is unsupported.
• This is an unsigned beta build. Run World War VR as administrator.
