v0.3.3-alpha - Launcher Update & Installer Fix

What's New

• Automatic update checking: Launcher now checks for updates on startup and prompts to download/install
• Inno Setup installer: Replaced custom installer with standard Inno Setup to fix Windows Defender false positives
• Fixed version tracking: Installer now correctly updates version.txt on upgrades
• Centralized theme: Shared WPF resources via Theme.xaml
• Cleaned up controller config: Removed duplicate glyph handling and redundant properties
• Improved packaging: Streamlined release build pipeline

Notes

The previous custom installer was triggering antivirus false positives due to its payload-append behavior. This has been replaced with a standard Inno Setup installer.

If you're updating from a previous version, please uninstall it first and download the latest installer from this page.

v0.3.2-alpha - Installer Hotfix

Installer Hotfix

Fixes

• Installer now preserves your settings on update — resolution scale, anti-aliasing, texture filtering, fullscreen, and controller preferences are kept instead of being overwritten with defaults
• Skips ISO re-extraction if game data is already present — updates are much faster now
• Correct version number — the installer reads the version from its payload instead of using a hardcoded 0.2.0-alpha. The launcher will now show the correct installed version on both the Play and Updates pages
• Logging defaults to off — the installer forces log_level=off on install/update. Users can re-enable logging in Settings if needed for crash reports. The log generation causes performance drops since they are quite aggressive. Default is now off. The generated logs also amount to a high file size on disk. The launcher clears previous log files on launch.
• Logging toggle moved from the Play page to the Settings page (under Controls)
• Play button saves settings silently — no more dialog popup when launching the game

Upgrade

The auto-updater will detect this as a new version. Download DantesInfernoInstaller.exe and run it to update.

v0.3.1-alpha - Hotfix

Hotfix

Changes

• Removed Frame Rate setting from the launcher — the game runs at a hardcoded 60 FPS, so the 120/Unlimited options were misleading. VSync is now always enabled at 60 Hz for smooth, tear-free frame pacing.
• Added FPS counter overlay that counts the in-game FPS — press F1 in-game to toggle the FPS counter and frametime graph on/off.
• Fixed host VSync — the D3D12 presenter now actually syncs to your display refresh rate (previously it was always uncapped, causing choppiness).
• Restored ROV render path — fixes invisible character models (alpha/transparency rendering).

v0.3.0-alpha - Resolution Scaling + Settings Menu

What's New

Resolution Scaling (2x crash fixed!)

• Select Original (720p), 2x (1440p), or 3x (4K) from the launcher settings
• Fixed a crash that occurred at 2x resolution when the game created 3D-as-2D wrapper textures without scaling the host resource dimensions

Settings Menu Enabled

• The settings tab is now fully functional (previously hidden behind a COMING SOON overlay)
• Fixed dropdown menu colors so options are visible on the dark theme

User-Friendly Labels

• Removed technical jargon from the launcher (ROV, SDL, FXAA Extreme, render_target_path, etc.)
• Settings now use plain English: Resolution Scale, Anti-Aliasing, Texture Filtering, Frame Rate, Fullscreen, Controller

Settings Applied on Launch

• All settings are saved and passed to the game when you click PLAY
• Recommended defaults: 2x resolution, FXAA, fullscreen, 60 FPS VSync, controller support
