Pokopia Recomp 0.7.6 (build K: Kinkajou)

Press Update in the launcher and it does the rest. The game code is unchanged, so you do not need to Set up again.

This one is a small fix for people who keep the game in a different folder than the launcher.

Highlights

• The game starts again when your game folder is not the launcher's folder. It used to close the moment you pressed Play, with "Stopped abnormally, code 53".

Known issues

• Linux still runs the game and the shader setup through Proton. A game that runs on Linux without it is something we are working on, but it is not in this release.
• The launcher can feel slow on Linux (page changes lag, scrolling stutters). We found the reason, it is the big background picture that gets redrawn all the time, and a fix is ready for testing. It is not in this release.
• Updating from inside the launcher has had very little testing on Linux. If Update does not work for you, extract the new release over your old one like before and tell us what happened.
• Link Play with pokopia-native players works in our protocol tests, but nobody has confirmed a full two player session yet, and Story co-op has not been tried. Please tell us what you find.
• The bigger graphics pools for 4K are still not confirmed in game (#164).

Fixes

The game closes right away with exit code 53 when the game folder is not the launcher's folder (#221)

Before: if you picked a game folder other than the one the launcher sits in (common with a games folder of your own on Linux), Set up built pkp.exe there but pkp_rt.dll and the ASTC decoder DLLs stayed in the launcher's folder. pkp.exe looks for them next to itself, so it stopped before it could write a log. Proton showed that as "code 53 (0x00000035)", which tells you nothing. The same thing made the first background run quit after zero seconds.

Now: Play and that first background run copy the DLLs into your game folder whenever they are missing or different, so there is nothing for you to do. If pkp_rt.dll is missing in both places, Home tells you what is missing and offers the game folder setting, instead of letting the game stop with a number.

Still not: if the launcher's own folder has lost pkp_rt.dll and your game folder has no copy either, you need to extract the release again.
