Stunt Double: Reignition 0.3.0

Smooth 60 FPS

• Frame pacing: 60 FPS no longer stutters. Frames used to wait for the emulated vblank, so one that was a little late was shown a whole refresh late. Now a precise PC timer paces them: in testing (Ryzen 7 9800X3D, RX 9070 XT) 1% lows went from 32 to 59.8 FPS. PC menu > Video > Frame pacing: Smooth (default) or Console. It replaces the old V-Sync row, which actually switched this vblank emulation.
• Faster GPU emulation: the emulated GPU thread, the bottleneck, does about 25% more work per second (uncapped 720p: 83 → ~105 FPS).
• Crash fixed in the pause menu and when a scene restarts (null vertex declaration in the game's DrawVertices).
• Supersampling: at 1440p, 1X and 2X hold 60; 3X (7680x4320 inside) is too heavy even for high-end cards. The menu says so now.

Updates from the launcher

From this version on, the launcher checks GitHub for a newer release when it starts and shows Update to x.y.z. It downloads the new setup, checks its SHA-256 and version, and rebuilds the game from the game files already installed (no ISO needed). Saves, achievements and settings are kept.

Coming from 0.2.0 or earlier: download StuntmanSetup-0.3.0.exe below once and install over the same folder (pick the same ISO and folder). Future updates then go through the launcher.

As before, the release contains only this project's code: the game is built on your PC from your own disc.

Stunt Double: Reignition 0.2.0

Stunt Double: Reignition is a PC port of Stuntman: Ignition (Xbox 360) by static recompilation with ReXGlue.

You need your own Xbox 360 ISO of the game. This release contains no game files and no recompiled game code: the installer builds the game on your PC from your ISO.

What's new in 0.2.0

• PC menu in the game's style. The game now opens on a full-screen start screen that looks like its own menus: Play, Video, Controls, Game, Achievements, Quit. While playing, press F1 (or Back + Start on a controller) to open the same menu over the game. It works with keyboard, mouse and controller, and every change is saved at once.
  • Video: fullscreen or windowed, resolution (ultrawide too), black bars or stretch, 30 or 60 FPS, V-Sync, supersampling, texture filtering, FPS counter (also F2)
  • Controls: keyboard on or off with two keys per action, and a controller layout that swaps buttons. The menus always keep the normal layout, so a bad layout can't lock you out.
  • Game: language, start screen on or off, log file
  • Achievements: what you unlocked and when, with the game's icons
  • Settings that apply only at startup offer Restart now.
• Keyboard ready to drive: W / S gas and brake, A / D steer, arrows for the menus, Esc pauses. All keys can be changed in Controls.
• The launcher is simpler: it installs the game and manages your saves (backups, restore, start over). The settings moved into the game.
• The desktop shortcut now starts the game directly. The launcher is in the Start menu as Stuntman Ignition Launcher, with Uninstall.
• On the first start the game uses your desktop resolution and the Windows language.

Upgrading from 0.1.x: run the new setup and install over the old folder. The old desktop shortcut opened the launcher; the new installer replaces it with one that starts the game.

Install

1. Download StuntmanSetup-0.2.0.exe and run it. Windows may warn that the app is unrecognized: click More info → Run anyway.
2. Pick your Stuntman: Ignition ISO and an install folder, press Install.
3. Start the game from the Stuntman Ignition shortcut on the desktop.

The installer checks the ISO, extracts it, installs the free Microsoft Visual Studio Build Tools (about 6 GB, asks for administrator rights) and a portable Git if they are missing, then generates and compiles the game. Count about 12 GB free and 30–60 minutes the first time. If it stops, run it again: finished steps are kept. The log is install.log in the install folder.

Requirements: Windows 10/11 x64, a GPU with Direct3D 12.

Known limitations

• Early development: expect bugs and crashes
• No true 21:9 view yet (needs a game patch)
• The PC menu is in English and Italian (it follows the game's language; French, German and Spanish games show it in English)
• The automatic Build Tools and Git setup has only been tested on PCs that already had them; please report problems with your install.log
