Download removed: this release is superseded by v1.2.2 - BRIGHTNESS, the widescreen HUD switch, camera options in the pause menu, pop-ups at 120 fps and the Warehouse crate fix. Only the newest release keeps its download.

A small fix release: the grind balance meter is whole again at the wide aspect ratios, and 120 fps now also runs
on a 60 Hz monitor when V-Sync is OFF.
Full list: CHANGELOG.md.
Download, update and Proton / Wine notes: README.

Fixed

  • Grind balance meter at 16:9, 16:10 and 21:9: its left end was drawn far off to the left, apart from the rest
    of the meter (since v1.2.0). SCORE, SPECIAL and SWITCH stay at the screen edges as before.

Changed

  • 120 fps with V-Sync OFF on any display: RECOMP OPTIONS -> FRAME RATE: set FRAME RATE to 120 and VSYNC to OFF
    (restart) and the game runs at 120 fps also on a 60 Hz monitor - smaller tears and slightly fresher input, at twice
    the GPU work. With V-Sync ON, 120 fps still needs a display with 120 Hz or more.

Known issues (planned for v1.2.2)

  • Wide aspect ratios (16:9 / 16:10 / 21:9): two screens that are drawn during a level are pulled apart by the
    widescreen HUD - the ENTER NAME letter grid when saving a career (the outer letter columns sit at the screen
    edges) and the competition results after run 3 (the black outline under the selected scores is off to the
    right). Everything still works; at 4:3 both look as in the original.
  • Warehouse (THPS 1): at the start of the level one of the boxes to smash floats in the air. I'm checking
    whether the original game does the same.
  • Grass changes its colour with the camera angle and shows seams between pieces - under investigation.

Notes

  • Updating: keep your saves\ folder (see the README).
  • Requirements: a graphics card with Vulkan 1.3 (see the README).
  • Known: Linux via Proton / Wine is best effort.
