ACEvoPerf 0.4

New in 0.4

Fixed

Reported by players

• Fences looking like glass.
• Cars glowing.
• Trees unlit or white at night.
• Your own headlights vanishing.
• Parts of the track flickering.

These came from the game's shader cache, which the mod no longer turns on. If you kept your own acevo_perf.ini from 0.3, delete its enable_pso_cache line.

• Video memory left unused on cards with more than 6 GB (experimental).
• The graphics card working below what it can on those cards (experimental).
• The game sometimes hanging on those cards (experimental).

Texture memory is now sized at every launch from your card and screen resolution. If it causes trouble, set tile_pool_mb in acevo_perf.ini to a fixed number such as 2048.

Also fixed

• NVIDIA Reflex switching off when you turned off frame time measuring.
• NVIDIA Reflex sometimes not turning on at all.
• NVIDIA Reflex stopping after a graphics driver reset.
• Wrong or empty settings in acevo_perf.ini breaking things quietly. The log now says what it corrected.
• acevo_perf.log recording your PC's folder names.
• The mod not starting when the game sits in a very long folder path.
• Turning off stats also turning off the big screens fix, the menu fixes and your mods folder.
• Your own mods folder files for the menu styling or the big screens being ignored.
• Part of the game failing to load when a mods folder file could not be opened.
• A linked file in the mods folder being served empty or cut short.

Changed

• The mod uses about 60 MB less memory.
• Cards smaller than 6 GB get texture memory sized to the card.
• Five settings in acevo_perf.ini that only ever said to leave them alone are gone. An older ini that still has them works as before.
• The zip now carries Microsoft's license for the DirectStorage file it includes.
• dstorage_orig.dll is no longer needed. You can delete it if an older version left one.
