v0.2.0: exhibition matches, smoother pacing

You still need your own disc image of WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2011 for Xbox 360 (USA/Europe). This download contains no game files.

What works

Exhibition matches usually play without problems, including entrances, finishers and cutscenes. Menus and backstage brawls work too.

Road to WrestleMania has not been tested. It can crash at any point, so save often if you try it. Create modes, Universe and online are untested as well.

Tested on Windows 11 with an AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT.

Changes since v0.1.0

• The game holds a steady 60 FPS on its own. Turn off FPS limiters such as RivaTuner, or set them to exactly 60.
• New Frame pacing setting. Automatic shows each frame as soon as the game finishes it on monitors of 100 Hz and up, and keeps an even 60 Hz beat on 60 Hz monitors. With FreeSync or G-Sync, Match game timing is smoothest.
• The download now includes a shader cache. In testing, the game prepared all 185 cached shaders in about 6 seconds at startup and then played 6.5 minutes without building a new one. A scene the cache does not cover yet costs one held frame instead of a longer stall.
• The launcher has a new look built around the cover art from your own disc.
• The mouse cursor hides over the game after one second without movement.
• Bug report is gone. To report a crash, close the game and choose Logs: the newest session folder is selected. Zip it and attach it to an issue.

Install

Extract the zip to a normal folder such as C:\Games\SVR2011, open SVR 2011.exe, choose your .iso, then Set up game files. After a few minutes, choose Play.

Coming from v0.1.0: copy your userdata folder (your saves) into the new folder. You can move gamedata across as well to skip the disc setup.
