Beta 5 Hotfix 1

HOTFIX

Beta 5 Hotfix 1 fixes a crash in a popular randomizer option. If you play with Shellsanity, please update.

Fixed

• A crash when an item appeared from a Secret Seashell hiding spot (Shellsanity), for example a Chamber Stone under a rock in Ukuku Prairie (#349).

From this hotfix on, the start screen also tells you when a new hotfix is out. Beta 5 itself can't see hotfixes, so it won't offer you this one: download it below.

Everything in Beta 5

LAS Recomp now works with game versions 1.0.0, 1.0.1 and 1.1.0.

Updating from Beta 4: the first launch takes a few extra minutes to get everything ready. Your saves, seeds and settings carry over. Seed IDs from earlier builds will generate different seeds now.

Randomizer

• Triforce Hunt: collect Triforce pieces to win. Choose 3, 12, 24 or your own count.
• Every seed now starts with a Hint Sheet that points you to your next important item.
• Shellsanity: every Secret Seashell hiding spot can hold an item.
• Shopsanity: stealing from the shop is a check, and you can steal without a sword.
• Mini-boss frequency setting, plus Shadow Link and the Ball-and-Chain Soldier as new overworld mini-bosses.
• Enemy randomizer Random mode: enemies change every time you enter an area.
• Race mode: the spoiler log stays locked until the credits, and the title screen shows a seed hash so racers can check they have the same seed.
• Bomb Bag and Powder Bag can be randomized.
• Dungeon Room Shuffle now has Coupled and Decoupled modes, and rooms no longer show black boxes or seams.
• Item placement is better paced, so big seeds don't hand out most key items right away.
• Silent pickups: heart pieces, seashells, hearts and rupees from bushes, pots and digging no longer stop you for the item scene. Important items and chests still do.
• Link no longer pauses when picking up items from bushes, pots or dig spots.

Tracker and menus

• New tracker on the pause menu's Map page shows how many checks are left in each area and whether you can reach them.
• Run timer, with LiveSplit support.
• New cosmetics: hair, skin and shield colours, leaf, grass and sand colours with season presets, random enemy colours, and Game Boy, Game Boy Color and grayscale filters.
• The light bar on DualSense and DualShock 4 controllers shows Link's health.
• Rumble settings, an input configuration page and a walk speed option.
• Controllers that aren't recognised can be set up with a mapping file.
• The mouse cursor hides while you play with a controller or keyboard.

Performance

• Much faster on Mac, Windows and Linux. A base M-series Mac now holds 60 FPS at 4K.
• Steam Deck runs at 60 FPS.
• Big improvements on integrated graphics and handhelds.
• Less stutter the first time you see new areas and effects.
• If your system can't hold 60 FPS, the game now settles at a steady 30 and goes back to 60 when it can.
• Lowering the resolution or other graphics settings no longer leaves the game stuck at 30.
• Better ultrawide and widescreen support in dungeons, caves and indoor rooms.
• Match display is now the default resolution.

Setup

• Game updates only rebuild what changed, and a cancelled setup picks up where it left off.
• Clearer help on which game folder to choose.
• Game files are no longer copied, saving 5.8 GB.
• You can choose where LAS Recomp keeps its data and move it to another drive.
• Windows: folders with non-English names work, and you get a warning if the LAS Recomp folder is inside OneDrive.

Fixes

• Fixed crashes when warping with Marin or BowWow following you.
• Fixed crashes in the Hot Head fight, at Dampe's amiibo screen and when leaving the map page.
• Fixed a startup hang and random freezes during scene changes.
• Fixed saves failing on long randomizer sessions on Mac. Saves can no longer be left half-written by a crash.
• Fixed a blank screen and crashes on AMD integrated graphics on Windows.
• Fixed missing text on AMD graphics and crashes on Intel graphics.
• Fixed black floors and cave walls on Mac.
• Linux: game text uses a bundled font when you don't have the console's fonts.
• Russian and Chinese text use the right fonts.
• Many randomizer logic and item fixes.
• Logs are more useful when reporting a bug: attach lasrecomp.log from the data folder.
