A redesigned launcher and a widescreen fix for Conquer the Mountain, on top of v0.2.4.

No game files are included. You need your own copy of SSX 3 for the Xbox, PAL version, as files: default.xbe and the data folder next to it.

New

  • Launcher, redesigned. The options are grouped in two columns (Display, Graphics, Audio, Game, Logs, Controllers), the version is shown at the top, and a line lists the in-game keys (F3 FPS counter, F4 HD textures, F5 draw distance, F6 shadows, F11 fullscreen, F12 mark a problem).
  • Update check. With "Check for updates at start" on (the default), the launcher asks GitHub for the latest release when it opens and shows a link when a newer version is out. Untick it to turn this off.
  • Reset to defaults puts every setting back (your game folder is kept).

Fixed

  • Lodge and transport prompts in widescreen (Conquer the Mountain, "Would you like to enter the lodge?"): the MCOMM screen's background was stretched to the screen edges in white and grey around a frame in the middle. These full-screen prompts are now shown pillarboxed, like the menus.
  • The session log no longer reports a long "event loaded" time after riding into an event's gate in Conquer the Mountain.

How to play

  1. Download SSX3-recomp.zip below and unzip it anywhere (over an earlier version is fine).
  2. Run launcher.exe, press Browse and pick the folder with default.xbe.
  3. Pick your settings, then press Play.

Saw something wrong? Press F12 in game, try F4 / F5 / F6, then press Open logs in the launcher and send the selected log plus the mark_*.bmp screenshots.

Everything else is as in v0.2.4 (live settings keys), v0.2.3 (session logging) and v0.2.0 (HD textures, anti-aliasing, draw distance, shadows, widescreen HUD, motion blur, modern camera, 5.1 audio).

Requirements

  • Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit
  • A graphics card with Vulkan support and an up-to-date driver
  • Windows "N" editions: the Media Feature Pack
