Release v3.00 - STABLE

Caution

This version is only compatible with the Epic Games Store version. Do not attempt installing on Steam. Join the Discord server for updates on Steam version.

Changelog:

All Games:

• Added the ability to launch and play the game whilst offline.

• Changed the save data and config locations to a more suitable place.

Kingdom Hearts I and Kingdom Hearts II:

• Added the ability to Auto Attack by holding down the configured attack button. It will trigger everywhere except the World Map. Toggleable through the config file.
• Added the ability to enforce either Controller or MKB Prompts and Camera through the config file.

• Returned the ability to exit the game from the title screen.

Kingdom Hearts II:

• Added the Port Royal Map Skip in order to avoid every possible crash that can happen in the Interceptor and the Black Pearl.
• Added the ability to re-organize Limit Form's Shortcuts through the config file.
• Added the ability for Dual Audio to detect what Dub Patch is being used when not set to Japanese. A save function for Japanese mode is yet to be implemented, so it falls back to "Default" in that instance.
• Added the ability to unpause in Atlantica Tracks and instantly end them (Although on a fail condition).

• Fixed a bug with Retry where certain stats would NOT be reverted.
• Fixed a bug with Retry that caused chests to be permanently lost.
• Fixed a bug with Retry where it would loop the battle over if Mickey was summoned.
• Fixed a bug with Retry where it would say "Retry" in places it is not supposed to.
• Fixed a bug where Retry would immaturely trigger during the Underdrome cups.
• Fixed a bug with Roxas Skip that caused the Journal to be bricked.
• Fixed a bug with Roxas Skip where the Skip would immaturely trigger at Day 3 if it was loaded from a save file.
• Prevented Autosave from saving where it should not.

• Removed the FMV on the Title Screen.

Kingdom Hearts - Birth by Sleep:

• Hopefully not fucking borked anymore:tm:

Kingdom Hearts - Dream Drop Distance:

=> Initial Release.

• Added the ability to toggle the Drop Gauge at will.
• Added the feature to Autosave!
• Added the feature to soft reset. It follows the key scheme of the rest of the games.
• Dual Audio capabilities!
• Added the ability to start the game on Critical without the need for a Proud save.

Notes:

• BBS is no longer 100% borked. It's now only like, 2%. Hopefully fixed soon!
• DDD at this moment only supports English. This will be corrected in v3.10, hopefully.
• Do not use "Map Skip" on KH2FM Randomizer when using Re:Fined. It will not crash but the GUI in Port Royal will get funky.
• KH2FM Dual Audio crashes in SP when used with KH2 Randomizer. I do not know why, but disabling Dual Audio and saving before SP is highly recommended.
• I do in fact realize that Final Form in inventory shows "dummy" shit. This will be fixed uhh, eventually.
• Move your saves to "Documents/Kingdom Hearts/Save Data/" and your config files to "Documents/Kingdom Hearts/Configuration/"

Hotfix:

• DDD's Title Screen Detection was borked, locking out Autosave and Soft Reset for new saves. This was addressed.
