@github-actions github-actions released this 22 Oct 18:57
v13.0.0
d9dcd5b

Layers: renderer 2.0.0 (was postfx), gui-installer 2.0.0, testbench 3.41.2, films 1.12.1.

Removed

  • The vkBasalt bloom and its ReShade preset, everywhere: postfx/postfx.py,
    postfx/vkbasalt/, the bloom layer of a2mod, the release package's bloom/
    folder and publish/installer/shaders.txt, the MagicBloom and ReShade header credits,
    and the GUI installer's vkBasalt panel and how-to. Bloom, tone mapping and every
    other post-process are Render3D.asi's (renderer 2.0.0, gui-installer 2.0.0).
  • a2mod no longer flips vkBasalt's enableOnLaunch; a bloom key in an older
    state.json is ignored.
  • The test bench and the film tooling no longer carry vkBasalt into a session
    (testbench 3.41.2, films 1.12.1).

Changed

  • postfx/ is renderer/, the name of the one a2mod layer it still holds.
  • What an earlier version set up comes out, since both would bloom the frame twice:
    ./install removes the per-user vkBasalt layer; install.sh the armada2-refit-bloom
    folder it wrote; install.ps1 A2Bloom.ini and its ReShadePreset.ini copy; the GUI
    installer the vkBasalt variables it wrote into Heroic. The package's bloom step does
    this now, so the step list and the package schema are unchanged.

Confirmed in game 2026-10-22.

Installing, with the GOG release of the game:

  • Windows: download armada2-refit-installer-windows.exe and run it. It is not signed, so SmartScreen may hold it the first time: More info → Run anyway.
  • macOS: needs CrossOver (or another Wine) with the game installed in it. Download armada2-refit-installer-macos.zip and unzip it. The app is not notarised, so the first time macOS refuses to open it: on macOS 15 and later, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway; on older macOS, right-click the app → Open.
  • Linux: download armada2-refit-installer-x86_64.AppImage, make it executable (chmod +x) and run it.
  • By hand: README.txt in the zip, and Installing by hand.
