Athelas 1.7.6

Press Update in the launcher, or unzip it over your Athelas folder: your settings, saves and achievements are
kept.

Fixed

  • European, Japanese and other copies of the Xbox games (#36): the game's page no longer refuses them. It
    warns that the version is untested and unsupported (a European or Japanese copy is expected not to start yet: the
    games are built from the US discs' code). Two buttons, It worked and It didn't work, open a GitHub page
    with the copy's details to send us. A version built from the other regions' discs is planned.
  • The Return of the King (PC): PlayStation buttons as white discs in the combo list and the upgrade shop (#34):
    the check for button pictures in a line of text never fired; it now compares against where the font's letters end
    (thanks to brig-dev's analysis).
  • Vulkan: textures dropping out in The Third Age (it ran out of room for the game's ~13,600 draws a frame and skipped
    the rest).
  • The Return of the King (Xbox): black bars flashing at the sides on ultrawide screens (#38) in Southern
    Gate and the Minas Tirith Courtyard: a full-screen effect in those levels was taken for a menu picture.
  • The Third Age: a short stutter every few seconds with Sharper text on (#37): when the game changed a few
    words, the whole page of text was redrawn (about 40 ms); now only the part that changed is.
  • The Third Age: characters bursting into spikes with widescreen on (#37), in cutscenes and sometimes in play.

New

  • The Third Age on ultrawide screens (#35): the game fills the whole width (3440x1440 and wider); the text and
    the HUD stay 16:9 in the middle, as in the other three games.
  • Ultrawide menus (#35): the menus of The Two Towers, The Return of the King and The Third Age widen with the
    screen up to 21:9 (black beyond that, on 32:9), instead of staying 16:9; play and in-game cutscenes fill the
    whole width.
  • Movies never wider than 21:9: on a 32:9 screen the intro and story films get bars at the sides instead of
    being zoomed (The Third Age's lost their top and bottom) or stretched.
  • The Third Age: Button pictures (Graphics): PlayStation, Nintendo or keyboard keys in place of the Xbox buttons,
    as in the other three games. For now the A button; more to come.
