HWDER v0.3.2

HWDER v0.3.2 (pre-release)

This is a pre-release. It adds support for the Japanese release of the game, which has not been tested with
real Japanese game files yet, and a "Try anyway" option for game versions HWDER does not recognise. It also
carries everything from v0.3.1, which was never published on its own: the Vulkan device fix for Windows, the Linux
link fix (not yet confirmed on an affected system), the version in the menus and the antivirus notes. If you just
want to play, v0.3.0 remains the last full release.

New in v0.3.2

• Japanese release recognised (issue #3). Setup accepts the Japanese game (title 01002AB007FD2000). It builds
  the game if its code matches a version HWDER knows; otherwise Setup names the build (build ID and SHA-256) so it
  can be reported. The game asks for Japanese text with it. Saves use the same folder as the other releases.
  Untested: nobody has run it with Japanese game files yet, and a Japanese game update is not read. Please report
  what Setup says, and whether the game starts, on issue #3.
• Try anyway (may crash). A Setup option (Windows: under Advanced; Linux: next to Prepare) that builds a game
  version HWDER does not recognise using the closest known version's layout. It only works if the code is laid out
  the same; otherwise the build or the game fails.

From v0.3.1

• Windows: "Vulkan not available" on PCs with the OpenCL/OpenGL/Vulkan Compatibility Pack (issue #2). The pack
  adds Microsoft's Vulkan-on-Direct3D 12 layer as an extra device, which lacks an extension HWDER needs; it could be
  chosen over the real NVIDIA/AMD/Intel driver. HWDER now checks every device for the extensions it needs and
  prefers native drivers, then discrete GPUs, then Vulkan 1.3. When no device is usable, the error says so instead of
  claiming Vulkan is missing.
• Linux: Setup's build failed at the final link with unsupported linker arg: --dependency-file=... when
  ld.lld was on the PATH (issue #1). Fixed, but not yet confirmed by someone who had the error.
• Version in the menus. The startup menu and the F1 menu header show the HWDER version.
• Links for bug reports, Releases and cloning point at blocker-3/HWDER, with credit to the original repository.
  Releases no longer carry separate .sha256 files: GitHub lists each asset's SHA-256.

Antivirus warnings

Some players saw a virus warning when downloading v0.3.0. An audit of the v0.3.0 release found nothing malicious:
both packages hold exactly the tagged source, HWDER Setup.exe is byte-identical to an independent build of that
source except for its link timestamp, the tools Setup downloads match the official files, and Microsoft Defender
reports no threats. Setup is still unsigned and starts PowerShell and downloads compilers, which heuristic scanners
can dislike. docs/antivirus.md explains what is flagged and why, and how to check your download against the
SHA-256 GitHub lists next to each file. If your antivirus flags HWDER, please report the product and the detection
name.

Install / upgrade

• Windows: unzip HWDER-setup-v0.3.2.zip and open HWDER Setup.exe. On an existing install the main button
  says Update; saves and settings in %LOCALAPPDATA%\HWDER\play are kept.
• Linux: extract HWDER-linux-x86_64-v0.3.2.tar.gz, run hwder-setup and choose Update over an existing
  install. Saves stay in ~/.local/share/HWDER/save.
• You still need your own dump of the game and your prod.keys; nothing from the game ships with HWDER.

Known issues

Unchanged from v0.3.0: Linux is tested on a ROG Ally with Bazzite only, the first Linux audio report after start-up
can show the output running dry, and an Update spends 10-20 s on "Checking your game".
