v0.2.0
Thanks for the reviews on v0.1.0. This release goes through them.
Speed
- Much faster in missions. The launcher no longer pins the game to a few "fast" cores, which was costing 12 to 14 points of speed on laptops.
- The runtime was rebuilt so the CPU and GPU threads stop fighting over shared data, and it skips mod lookups that were done millions of times a second.
- On an Intel i7-1355U laptop (plugged in), the opening mission now runs at about 90 to 100%, up from roughly 65%.
Sound
- Sound effects should all play now: Accurate audio (Dolphin's DSP LLE) is on by default. The faster HLE drops sound effects in this game. You can switch it off in the settings window for about 5% more speed.
Movies
- Fixed the vertical stripes in the FMVs (Dolphin's "Manual Texture Sampling" for the game's VP6 videos).
Install and launcher
- The first run asks where to install the game files.
- A settings window opens before each start: resolution, graphics (D3D11/Vulkan/OpenGL), fullscreen, widescreen, accurate audio, the speed display and reset controls, plus change disc, rebuild and open folder. Tick "Don't show this window" to skip it; hold Shift to get it back.
- Setup shows progress and time estimates. A full build takes about 20 minutes on a plugged-in laptop.
- .ciso disc images are accepted now, as well as .iso/.gcm and Dolphin-extracted discs.
- Updating from v0.1.0 does not rebuild the game. New default settings are added and your own are kept.
Controls
- Keyboard and mouse: WASD, mouse look, left click to fire, right click to aim, E action, Space jump, R reload, wheel for weapons, Esc to pause. Xbox-style controllers work as before. If you changed the controls in v0.1.0, press Reset controls in the settings window.
