WinXclipse v0.9.1; Bug Fix & Stability Release

WinXclipse v0.9.1

This is an incremental update to WinXclipse v0.9 focused on Community Configs, Wine input and shortcut reliability, x86/x86_64 and 32-bit compatibility, smoother Wine navigation, and safer DXVK/VKD3D setup.

What Changed Compared to v0.9

Community Configs

• Added a Community Configs catalog backed by the dedicated GitHub release.
• Config ZIPs download automatically; users do not need to download or keep the ZIP manually.
• Added fallback through the public release-assets page, a saved catalog index, and validated offline cache when the GitHub API is unavailable or rate-limited.
• Added toolbar search by game name.
• On the first visit, a one-time AMOLED dialog explains how to export and submit tested configs and opens the project Discord directly.
• Equivalent names are grouped regardless of case, trailing spaces, punctuation, or Arabic/Roman sequel numbers through X.
• Every matching config is checked for an embedded cover before browser artwork is requested.
• Community covers can be replaced manually.
• Multiple configs for one game show device choices first, followed by phone, RAM, GPU, CPU, expected FPS, tester, notes, and optional container details.
• Export requires the game/container name, keeps the detected phone model fixed, removes the version suffix from the ZIP filename, and includes Discord handle, expected FPS, hardware metadata, notes, content requirements, and optional cover.
• Fixed config staging, bundled-content matching, import-close failures, and false missing-content warnings.
• Existing exported ZIPs automatically recover their external Xclipse driver from installed content, Downloads, or the maintained driver catalog; old exports such as Xclipse 920 Old do not need to be recreated.

Wine Input and Shortcuts

• Touchscreen mouse handling was aligned with Winlator Mali for left/right clicks, dragging, pointer grabs, Wine context menus, and shortcut creation.
• Wine-created .lnk files now resolve quoted, relative, environment, Unix, and Wine paths correctly.
• Shortcut discovery refreshes executable targets, names, and artwork reliably.
• The controller startup notice was removed.
• Input Controls now includes controller auto-grab (plug and play), master vibration, and vibration testing.
• The obsolete touchscreen-haptic option and feedback path were removed.
• The About dialog links directly to the WinXclipse Discord.

Runtime, DXVK, VKD3D, and 32-bit

• Bundled Box64 is now 0.4.3-260519-024717c; old 0.4.4 selections migrate automatically.
• Fixed Proton x86_64 startup by preserving the shared Box64 executable, using the installed Wine path explicitly, and separating guest library paths from Android's native linker path.
• Conventional x86/x86_64 Wine no longer receives incompatible ARM64EC DXVK entries.
• Missing DXVK/VKD3D DLLs are verified and reinstalled instead of trusting a stale installation marker.
• Disabling VKD3D restores Wine's D3D12 files after DXVK extraction.
• Pure win32 prefixes keep 32-bit DLLs in system32 and no longer create a synthetic syswow64; WoW64 prefixes still populate the required 32-bit side.
• Offscreen FSR/effect buffers retry with core RGBA when a driver rejects BGRA and fall back to direct rendering instead of showing a black screen.
• Wine always opens in fixed landscape orientation, independent of device rotation.

Performance and Responsiveness

• Wine 2D navigation uploads only changed drawable regions for small menu and selection updates.
• Padded-stride texture uploads are packed correctly.
• Present notifications no longer hold the drawable render lock during X11 event delivery.
• Opaque Wine/game windows and full-screen post-processing passes render without unnecessary blending.
• Fully covered windows below the highest opaque full-screen window are skipped while later popups remain visible.
• Repeated startup service rewrites and temporary diagnostic logging were removed from normal launches.
• Container filesystem deletion runs outside the UI thread.
• VSync modes 100%, 50%, and Off are available independently from the FPS limiter.
• Rockstar camera movement no longer shows horizontal tearing: mailbox is preserved independently from 100%/50%/Off pacing, keeps the newest complete image without FIFO's FPS serialization, and Android presents complete compositor frames even when guest pacing is off.
• Proton/Wine entries appear immediately from local cache; catalog refreshes are throttled, unchanged DOS drive maps and shared PulseAudio files are reused, and storage-provider transfers use 64 KiB buffering.
• The Shortcuts screen opens immediately from the sidebar: existing shortcuts and covers load in the background, and recursive Wine .lnk discovery no longer blocks the interface.
• New Box86/Box64 and FEXCore Turbo presets add larger translation blocks and relaxed compatibility checks without altering the existing presets; Experimental Performance can apply the same Turbo group per game without replacing its selected preset.
• DXVK 1.x/2.x and VKD3D-Proton caches are kept on fast internal storage for reuse across launches on both ARM64EC/FEX and x86_64/Box64; disabled renderer logs no longer touch storage.
• Experimental Performance includes a manual 6144 MB VRAM cap option; Auto remains the safe default.
• The Video help explains Mailbox, FIFO, Immediate, and Relaxed. Synchronized modes retain their required presentation wait, while Immediate remains the explicit lowest-wait/tearing path.
• DX12 now receives the chosen present mode directly through VKD3D-Proton, including the correct FIFO Relaxed mapping.

Additional Fixes

• Community/container creation no longer overwrites an existing xuser-1 when manager state is stale.
• Valid on-disk container metadata is preserved during defensive saves.
• External Android storage and configured Wine drives are available in File Manager.
• Runtime/content names are deduplicated and old identifiers migrate automatically.
• MangoHUD mode uses the stable Android-native HUD path adapted from Bannerlator.
• Winlator HUD settings include battery percentage.

Status

Functionally experimental.

Behavior can vary depending on the device, GPU, driver, wrapper, runtime, container, and application.

A package appearing in Downloads does not guarantee compatibility with every device.
