Two frames in a row, standing still:

The sixth mission

Save states	The F1 to F11 slots in LOAD GAME and the pause menu: load, save, delete
Mouse in the menus	Point and click in every menu of the game
Main menu	No memory card or controller menus, saves on either card are found
Gamepad names	Buttons named as your pad prints them, Nintendo and GameCube pads included
Audio	Bass starts at Reduced
Performance	Less processor time in busy scenes and in movies
Fixes	Keys set in the launcher, a crash risk in movies, a gap in the sound

Note

Before you update

• Save states (F1 to F11) made with an earlier version do not load in this one
• Saved games in LOAD GAME, settings, keys and memory cards stay as they are
• Bass starts at Reduced if you never chose one, a Bass you chose stays

Save states

• LOAD GAME shows SAVE STATES under the saved games: the eleven slots F1 to F11
• A slot's card shows the moment it was saved, the mission, the difficulty and when it was saved
• In LOAD GAME a state loads at once
• In play, SAVE STATES under RESUME MISSION in the pause menu shows the slots
• A state can be saved there too, a load or an overwrite asks first
• A state can be deleted there after a question
• A state of another version shows as such and does not load

LOAD GAME with its save states:

The pause menu's save states:

Mouse in the menus

Tip

The menus and the pause menu have a mouse pointer now: point at a row and click

The pointer on a saved game in LOAD GAME:

• Pointing moves the menu's cursor, a click chooses
• That works in every menu: the main menu and its screens, the pause menu, and the screens after a death or a finished mission
• On a volume, a yes or no, a save's mission or a letter of its name, a left click steps it on and a right click back
• The menus draw their own arrow, in the colours of their letters
• Escape goes back: to the main menu from its screens, to the mission from the pause menu
• The strafe keys, A and D in Modern controls, step left and right in the menus
• PASSWORD shows the key or button that types each symbol
• On PASSWORD, Backspace takes a symbol back, a pad's Left as before

PASSWORD with its keys:

Main menu

• MEMORY CARD OPTIONS and CONTROLLER OPTIONS are gone
• Keys and buttons are set in the launcher
• Saves on the right card are found too, the game used to read only the left one
• The game speaks of save data instead of a memory card: NO SAVE DATA, COULD NOT READ SAVES and the like

Gamepad names

• Buttons are named after the pad you press last: Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo or GameCube, in the launcher and in the game's menu
• A Nintendo pad shows B, A, Y, X, L, R, ZL, ZR, Minus and Plus
• The launcher moves through its pages with whichever pad you press
• Linux: the launcher and the game show the game's icon

Audio

• Bass starts at Reduced: the deepest rumble under 80 Hz is softer

Performance

• With Render thread on, busy scenes take the processor about a tenth less time
• With In-between frames on, the in-between pictures of a scene full of enemies take about a third less time to prepare and look exactly as before
• Movies and the game's wait for the next frame take less processor time

Fixes

Keys set in the launcher

• Keys set in the launcher work in the game again in an installed or portable copy, since 0.10.0 the game used the keys it ships with
• A problem report holds your keys too

Movies and save states

• A save state made in the middle of a movie loads without the risk of a crash

Sound

• After fast-forward or a skipped intro the sound goes on without a short gap

Warning

0.10.2 may break things that worked in 0.9.0

• The game moved to a new version of the framework it runs on, and that touched almost every feature
• Not everything could be checked by hand before this release
• If something works worse than in 0.9.0, please open an issue

Note

Before you update

• Save states of 0.9.0, 0.10.0 and 0.10.1 do not load in 0.10.2
• Save the game on a memory card first if a save state holds progress you need
• Render thread is on by default since 0.10.0, 0.9.0 had it off: Display, Render thread turns it off
• Settings, keys and memory cards stay as they are

Fixes

Important

The blocker of 0.10.0 and 0.10.1 is fixed

• 0.10.0 was packed without the game's own enhancements and fixes, so none of them worked
• 0.10.1 packed them, but the game still looked for them in the player's folder, so they stayed off when the launcher started it
• 0.10.2 reads them from its own folder

	0.10.0 and 0.10.1	0.10.2
The game's own enhancements and fixes	Off	On

Display, Aspect ratio set to Match window	Starts at the widest view, with black bars on a 16:9 or 16:10 screen	Fills the screen

Change
Framework	The game runs on PSXRecomp v0.3.4-alpha
Display	Render thread on by default and with in-between frames, less processor time
Fixes	Windows, sky and walls in all levels, settings, the launcher

Warning

0.10.0 may break things that worked in 0.9.0

• The game moved to a new version of the framework it runs on, and that touched almost every feature
• Not everything could be checked by hand before this release
• If something works worse than in 0.9.0, please open an issue

Note

Before you update

• Save states of 0.9.0 do not load in 0.10.0
• Save the game on a memory card in 0.9.0 first if a save state holds progress you need
• Render thread is on by default now, 0.9.0 had it off: Display, Render thread turns it off
• Settings, keys and memory cards stay as they are

Framework

• The game now runs on PSXRecomp v0.3.4-alpha, the framework the recompilation is built on
• 0.9.0 ran on a build of it from August, after v0.3.1-alpha
• Every enhancement and fix of the game was carried over to the new version. That was the largest piece of work in this release

Display

Setting	Where	Default	For
Render thread	Display	On	Better performance, most of all on slower processors and graphics cards

Render thread

• Works with In-between frames on now, 0.9.0 left it without effect there
• On by default now, 0.9.0 had it off

Other changes

• The game asks less of the processor at the same settings
• Busy scenes, such as a field of fallen enemies, take the graphics card less time to draw
• The sky is drawn pixel by pixel from the level's whole panorama now. This is the base for a high-resolution sky and a real skybox later

Fixes

All levels

• A window no longer shows a green wedge between the sky and its frame
• Through a window you no longer see the next room in place of the sky, standing or walking past it
• A green square no longer shows at the edge of a window seen through a doorway
• Thin green ticks no longer flicker along a window's frame as you move past it
• With In-between frames on, the sky in a window no longer lags behind and stretches at the window's edge while you turn
• Outdoors, a thin green line no longer runs along the bottom edge of the screen, and no longer grows when you jump
• In widescreen, the sky beside a pillar no longer shows a thin line of the fog colour where two parts of the sky meet
• In widescreen, a wall you stand pressed against no longer turns see-through at the edge of the screen
• A thin light line no longer runs down the edge of some wall textures

Settings

• Dynamic resolution now works on a graphics card below 15 FPS, and after a few slow steps it can still raise the resolution again
• Dynamic resolution with In-between frames on no longer counts the in-between pictures as the game's own drawing
• Loading a save state with Render thread on no longer turns the picture one flat colour
• With a longer Draw distance and Smooth distance fade, a far wall at the end of a long corridor no longer opens a lighter hole into the fog

Launcher

• The launcher's page titles no longer show letters of another size after a while, as the S in "DiSplay"

Thanks

• Southpaw: Dual analog with the sticks swapped

Turning speed and Turning dead zone

• Turning speed sets how fast a full push turns, from 25% to 300%
• Turning dead zone is how far the stick moves before it counts, raise it if the view drifts on its own

Looking up and down

• With Vertical mouse look on, the right stick looks up and down too
• Invert vertical stick turns that around

The Gamepad tab of the Controls page:

Second keys

• Every action on the Keys tab takes a second key
• A second key may be a mouse button: left, right, Mouse 4 or Mouse 5
• Key profiles keep the second keys too

The Keys tab with its second column:

Launcher

• The launcher takes the game disc and a language disc as a CHD made with chdman, about 425 MiB in place of 607 MiB

• Borderless fullscreen keeps the desktop's size
• Exclusive fullscreen with Desktop takes the desktop's display mode now, 0.8.0 took the window's size

Dynamic resolution

• Lowers the internal resolution while the graphics card cannot keep up, and raises it back when it can
• Meant for weaker graphics cards, integrated ones above all

Render thread

• Can make the game smoother on slower processors and integrated graphics
• Has no effect with in-between frames on

Other changes

• 16x MSAA and 16x SSAA are gone, a saved 16x reads as 8x

The Display page with Resolution, Dynamic resolution and Render thread:

Sprites face the camera

Setting	Where	Default
Sprites face the camera	Enhancements, the game's menu	Off

• Enemies, pickups and shots stand in the world like cut-outs and face you
• Without it they turn with the view when you turn on the spot
• Toward the screen's sides they get wider, as walls there do

facing-sprites.mp4

Main menu

• EXIT under CREDITS closes the game
• It is translated for the game's German and French discs: BEENDEN and QUITTER

The main menu with EXIT chosen:

Loading

• The level data the game streams during play arrives at once instead of at the console drive's speed
• The pause of about a second and a half near the prison's H Block is gone

Fixes

Near H Block

• With a longer Draw distance or the smooth fade, the game no longer stops for several seconds near the prison's H Block

hblock-stall.mp4

A crash after long play

• The game no longer closes with an access violation (0xC0000005) after an hour or more of play

The teleport at a level's end

• The green wave and the fade after it stay in widescreen now, 0.8.0 showed them at 4:3 with black bars

teleport-wave.mp4

The pause menu under 60 FPS gameplay

• With many enemies, bodies or pickups in view, the pause menu no longer shows broken pictures and streaks of text

pause-menu.mp4

The menu's demo

• With a longer draw distance or a wide screen the menu's demo no longer runs slow

Ceilings at the screen's edge

• Ceilings at the screen's edge no longer show grey patches

ceilings.mp4

Sky

• Looking out of a doorway, the sky no longer turns into a flat purple rectangle

A doorway onto the sky:

sky-doorway.mp4

• Where the skies of two rooms meet, the clearer one shows now, 0.8.0 left a pale band of sky beside a pillar

The sky beside a pillar:

sky-meet.mp4

• With geometry correction on, walking beside a wall with smooth mouse aim no longer flashes a strip of sky at the screen's edge

A pillar's edge with the depth-sorted world

• With the depth-sorted world on, the line between two faces of a pillar no longer jumps back and forth

At half speed:

pillar-line-slow.mp4

Walls and floors right in front of you

• A texture right in front of you, such as the striped frame round a wall button, no longer changes its shape while you turn

A wall button's frame up close:

near-texture.mp4

near-texture-turn.mp4

• The floor or wall right beside you no longer opens onto the sky at the screen's corner

The floor under a wall button:

floor-corner.mp4

Staircases

• Climbing a staircase onto its landing no longer opens a strip of empty background under the landing's edge

staircase.mp4

Bodies and enemies behind walls

• A body behind a column no longer shows through the column's base
• An enemy just behind a wall no longer shows over the wall

Fog

• With Smooth distance fade on, far shapes in the fog no longer show a faint blue line along an edge, as the terraformer's claws on Triton did

Memory cards and save states

• A game that closes or crashes while saving no longer leaves the memory card empty or cut short
• A save the disk refuses shows as failed in the game, it was reported as saved
• A memory card that cannot be read is left as it is, it was replaced by a blank card
• A save state that cannot be loaded is refused and the game goes on as it was

RetroAchievements

• The game counts Disruptor's RetroAchievements set: 52 achievements
• They are for finishing levels, finding hidden areas and clearing a whole map

Sign in

1. Make an account on retroachievements.org if you have none
2. Open the launcher's Achievements page
3. Enter the account's name and password and press Sign in
4. Start the game: it signs in and shows how many achievements you have

Signing in on the launcher:

• The password is sent to retroachievements.org once and is not stored
• The launcher keeps the token the site returns
• On Windows the token is sealed for your Windows account
• A problem report never includes it
• Sign out, on the same page or in the game's menu, removes it

In the game

• An unlock shows a card in a corner of the screen and plays a chime
• The card has the achievement's picture, name, points and description

Finishing the Reactor:

• The game's menu, opened with Backquote (`), has an Achievements tab
• It lists every achievement with its picture, points and description
• A counting one shows how far it has come, such as the kills and pickups of a level's 100%
• All, Locked and Unlocked filter the list
• The tab shows your count of achievements and points
• It links to your profile and to Disruptor's page on the site

The Achievements tab of the game's menu:

Settings

• They are on the launcher's Achievements page and in the game's tab

Signed in, with the settings below:

Setting	Default	What it changes
Count achievements	On	Off plays without them, the account stays signed in
Show notifications	On	The card of each unlock
Notification time	12 seconds	3, 5, 8, 12, 15 or 30 seconds
Notification corner	Top right	Any corner of the screen
Progress indicator	Off	A short note when a count moves
Unlock sound	On	The chime, at the game's volume
Sound file	The chime	A WAV of your own in place of the chime
Encore	Off	Achievements you have can trigger again, with their card
Unofficial achievements	On	Also the set's three unofficial ones, which the site does not record

• Achievement pictures are downloaded once and kept with your files, the grey ones of locked achievements too

Save states

• A save state keeps how far each achievement has counted, in a file beside it
• After a load, a 100% achievement still counts the kills made before the save
• Loading a state does not stop an unlock

Casual only

• Unlocks count as casual on your profile
• Hardcore stays off until RetroAchievements approves our client
• Any copy of the disc counts as the USA one, a language disc too

Details: RetroAchievements in the player's guide

Launcher

• The whole launcher works from the keyboard
• Tab and the arrows move through a page, Space or Enter presses, Escape goes back to the side bar
• On the side bar, Right or Space opens a page
• Ctrl+Tab steps through the pages
• A gamepad moves through it too: the D-pad, A to press, B to go back, LB and RB for the pages
• The cursor shows as a light frame
• Enter starts the game only on the home page, while no control has the cursor
• Default keys, Default weapon and psionic keys and Default buttons ask first
• They are grey while nothing would change
• Save to 1 or 2 asks before it replaces a key profile saved earlier
• A settings.toml that cannot be read no longer leaves the pages grey
• The page says why and offers Start over with defaults, keeping the file as settings.unreadable.toml
• A change that cannot be written is named on the page it was made on
• On a wide window the settings stand in a column in the middle of the page
• Every page keeps its own scroll
• Group headings such as Picture and Notifications are larger and red
• On the Controls page the names in a hint stand in a column of their own, with one fact a line beside them
• Anti-aliasing moved from Experimental to Enhancements, in the launcher and in the game's menu
• The side bar fits short windows, 125% on a 1366 by 768 screen included
• Troubleshooting lists the steps of a bug report
• Report a problem moved there from the side bar, beside Detailed logging

The keyboard cursor on a switch:

Troubleshooting:

Text on a small HUD

• Below HUD size 100 the game's text shrank with the HUD and its one-pixel strokes got thin
• Now it is drawn bolder and with a dark edge, so a small line stays readable
• Dark text, such as the weapon and psionic names, gets no edge
• At 100% and in 4:3 the text is as before

HUD 50, before and after:

Mission 9

The reactor under 60 FPS gameplay (#51):

• After the lever the teleport comes before the explosion again, as at 30 FPS
• Before, the explosion came first and killed you

60 FPS, before and after:

issue51-teleport.mp4

• The countdown line no longer flickers with a pickup's message
• A message stays as long as at 30 FPS, before it stayed half as long

60 FPS, before and after:

issue51-message.mp4

• The reactor's voice says its whole line again, before it stopped at "sec"
• The countdown stays on screen while the weapon or psionics list is open
• The list shows the chosen item's name beside it
• The same holds when a weapon or psionic key opens the list
• The original game hid the countdown and showed only the name

The original game, the name without the countdown:

Now, the countdown and the name:

Fixes

• Abort mission no longer flashes the world behind the darkening pause screen
• In widescreen that world was half-drawn, with see-through floors
• The reactor mission's end: the "0 SECONDS" line no longer blinks while the screen fades
• A list's name no longer shows alone for a frame before its box, as the original game drew it
• The menu's demo: the mouse no longer turns its camera and number keys no longer change its weapon
• A click still ends the demo
• With Psionic keys use the power a power's key uses it 9 to 13 frames after the press, it was 21 to 23
• For that the game reads the power's pictures from the disc at 4x
• Under 60 FPS gameplay a sound that does not loop plays its full 8 seconds again, it was cut after 4

Changes

• The Cheats tab of the game's menu is gone from this release
• God Mode and all weapons and psionics are no longer offered
• The Debug tab keeps Detailed logging and the capsules
• Record the screen and the diagnostic views are left out
• The Experimental page holds a note: what is tried there comes in a later version
• Anti-aliasing, its one setting in 0.7.0, is on Enhancements
• Occlusion strength is 100% at first, it was 80%, and goes up to 100%
• Occlusion reach goes up to 160
• A saved occlusion value past the new end is taken as the default
• Psioni...

Launcher	Controls in four tabs, long paths and every window width handled
Fixes	Mars pickups, Prison walls, cracks along walls
Save states	States from 0.6.0 load as they are

Movie filter

• A new setting on the Enhancements page: Movie filter, Smooth at first
• Smooth takes away the square blocks of the PlayStation's video compression and the grain in flat areas
• The movies are drawn smoothly at the size of your screen
• Original shows every pixel of a movie as a square, as before
• It is in the game's menu too, on Enhancements

The first mission's movie:

mission1-movie.mp4

The second mission's movie:

mission2-movie.mp4

Launcher

• The Controls page has four tabs: Keys, Weapons, Mouse and Gamepad
• A slider shows its value beside the track, where the handle no longer covers it
• The settings' controls stand in one column on every page
• About shortens a long folder path in the middle
• The whole path shows when you point at it
• Folder names in Japanese, Chinese or Korean show correctly
• An available update shows green, a download amber
• The launcher fits its smallest window, 900 pixels wide, without cut text
• Help shows its F1 key
• PLAY says that Enter starts the game too
• Switches and tabs move smoothly, unless Windows has its animations turned off

Fixes

• Mars (mission 6): pickups no longer turn into pink or cyan squares after the second part of the level loads (#49)
• Prison (mission 12): windows and gates are no longer solid green up close with Smooth distance fade (#49)
• Smooth distance fade: each texture fades with its own palettes on every level
• Walls no longer show light cracks along the edges of their polygons
• They showed in widescreen, with Smooth distance fade or with a longer draw distance
• Detailed logging also counts the pictures shown and the longest gap between them

The ice level, before and after:

ice-wall.mp4

The same in the shading view, where the cracks show best:

ice-wall-shading.mp4

Save states

• The game's code did not change in this version
• Save states from 0.6.0 load as they are
• Capsules from 0.6.0 load, but the game leaves their recording at once
• Memory card saves are not affected
