v0.1.2

0.1.2

New

• Physical reload: grab the magazine with your free hand, pull it out along the weapon's own well, carry it, push it home.
• Rack the slide with your other palm; the right stick click is the slide release.
• Ammo count and reload sounds follow the hands instead of a timeline.
• Thirteen weapons tuned individually: Unity, Tamayura, Tsunami Nue, Constitutional Liberty, Arasaka Kenshin, Militech Lexington, Militech Omaha, Kang Tao Chao, Tsunami Kappa, Arasaka Yukimura, Militech Ticon, Silverhand's Malorian, Malorian Overture.
• The Overture revolver rolls its cylinder, ejects its cases and reloads from a real speedloader item.
• Recoil kicks the HAND, not the camera, on a damped spring, with a per-weapon angle.
• The empty hand now rests instead of clawing at nothing while a weapon is out.
• Two-handed hold: bring the off hand to the weapon, squeeze, and it steers the aim and drops the kick. Twelve weapons have a captured hold.
• Physical body rotation (optional): the character turns to follow the headset through the engine's own heading, so mesh, capsule, aim and movement all follow.
• VRIK suspends itself entirely during cutscenes, with a per-tier threshold.
• VR driving: grab the wheel with your own hands, steer by the tilt of the line through the controllers, adjustable deadzone and lock angle.
• A palm on the wheel hub sounds the horn; a hand that is grabbing never honks.
• Draw a weapon while driving and the right trigger becomes the gun, with the throttle latched and trimmable from the left stick.
• The F10 overlay now reaches the second eye, so opening a settings panel no longer costs you stereo.
• 13 headsets and 60 resolutions, every ladder reaching 6000 px; PlayStation VR2 and Bigscreen Beyond 2/2e added.
• The port's HUDitor setup ships as an opt-in config: the editor on F11 plus a VR-tuned layout for all 26 widgets.

Changed

• Movement speed is discrete: past the deadzone only the direction comes from the stick, so a wrist tremor no longer changes your pace.
• Sprint is the left stick held forward for 0.2 s, held rather than toggled, and it survives a dash.
• No sprint out of a crouch, read from the game's own locomotion state machine.
• Dash moved to the right stick pushed fully up, one dash per push.
• Crouch stays on the right stick pushed fully down.
• The right stick click is now the slide release; it no longer crouches.
• B drops the magazine while a weapon is in hand, and reaches the game normally when holstered.
• The scanner is a one-hand gesture: raise the left controller to your left ear and squeeze the left grip.
• A snap turn needs a FULL stick push, so a resting thumb no longer turns you.
• Leaving a vehicle is X HELD; B is never the exit in a car, so no stray press can eject you.
• No hand smoothing while a hand is holding the steering wheel.
• The HUD is pasted at the same pixel in both eyes by default, so markers land in the same place.
• Virtual Desktop drives the XR loop inline again, behind an ini key.
• The cascade shadow rows are removed from Graphics -> Advanced: raising them gives you artefacts the port cannot fix.
• The persistent centre dot ships off.
• The shipped UserSettings.json no longer forces the game's language.
• The port's own HUD mod is deleted; HUDitor does this properly and the two fought over the same widgets.
• Hand and weapon collision is off in this release: the body capsules came back out after a vehicle launched the player.
• 61 .anims left the archive; they were export scaffolding, not files the game needs our copies of.
• README and the overlay's binding list rewritten against the code.

Fixed

• The second eye's random image jump every 2-4 seconds: it had ONE capture texture where MAIN keeps a pool of three, so a blit overwrote the pixels a submit was copying out.
• Sun cascade shadows disagreed between the eyes and MAIN's blinked on its own: a view samples the atlas it rasterised itself, so the fit record, the cascade camera and the sampling matrix must all come from one view.
• MAIN's cascade pass turned out to be a duplicate; 373 draws a frame stop being submitted.
• Nothing animated in a shader moved in the second eye: its frame clock was zero forever, which is why cloth flags hung dead.
• Vegetation jittered in MAIN on head turns: the wind volume is claimed by one view per frame, and MAIN was reading last frame's.
• The second eye marched its reflections 4000 units in 5000 steps, mirroring a ceiling MAIN leaves matt.
• The render mask table knew 13 of the engine's 27 categories, so a missing pass could not even be named.
• A reflection-probe face was being compared against the second eye as though it were MAIN.
• Black band down the outer edge of each eye on off-axis lenses (Quest 3): the frustum is sized to COVER the panel now, not to match its span.
• Hands looked laggy and ghosted. Five separate causes, all measured: the solve was clocked by a Lua callback; the hand offset was measured against a different head than it is re-anchored on; a 72 Hz stream was resampled at 52 Hz; the per-frame locate aimed at the wrong clock; and Present is the wrong clock by phase, so 3-7% of displayed frames replayed the previous arm.
• The hips jumped 22 cm in 2-4% of animation passes -- the same clock defect from another angle.
• The elbows swung when you looked around: the shoulder girdle was anchored on the camera and now hangs off the body.
• The camera heading and head displacement were each a frame old -- 4.2 deg of error at a 300 deg/s turn.
• The avatar was thrown forward on a dash: the body anchor paired a current camera with a tick-old entity position, and used that same reading to decide which character it was.
• Getting into a vehicle threw it into the air: the body capsules interpenetrate the seat, so they come off at the door.
• A held magazine floated clear of the palm at a run -- 21 cm, because a script write is not in the race the hand is drawn in. It is carried by a component on the player's own template now.
• The magazine started floating again in 0.1.1's archive: the carrier components had only ever existed inside the packed binary and were lost on the next repack. Their sources are tracked now.
• A firearm's hit is redirected in the engine's own PhysicalRay evaluator, so the muzzle is the origin and shotgun spread stays spread.
• An NPC firing at you no longer kicks YOUR hands or sends its projectiles down your barrel.
• A crash on save load: the second eye replayed a node whose indirect argument buffer was NULL.
• The overlay was draining the game's GPU queue every frame -- 43.8 fps against 70.3 with the fence guarded.
• VRIK never armed at all under Proton: a pointer classifier assumed the Windows heap layout, and Wine's allocator sits two orders of magnitude below it.
• The laser dot was being zoomed twice.
• The driving view faced off to one side, differently per car: it was pinned to the body's yaw rather than the camera's.
• Pushing the left stick to the stop in a car was handing it to the autopilot (Vehicle_Autodrive is the same L3).
• Brushing X while driving ejected the player instantly; the exit is a hold now.
• Seating a magazine and keeping the grip held made the weapon take the support hold by itself.
• The Kenshin Spy lost its frame twice: once to cooked collision left behind in the mesh, once because twelve of our weapon overrides were built on the pre-Phantom-Liberty copies of base\ files.
• The Overture's speedloader disappeared after a Windows reinstall; the source was in the repo all along.
• The archive in the repo was three months behind the one the game runs, so a release built from it shipped almost none of this.
• The tester package could not be built at all, and shipped 3 of 14 grip poses when it could.
• Two loose r6\scripts files the port silently depended on are versioned with it now.
• The reload's slot probe asked for slots the weapon does not have, which left it inert on any revolver.
