v0.4.0: sharper image, smoother finishers

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

Changes since v0.3.1

• Sharper image. A new setting, Sharpen the image, is on by default. At 1x it upscales the picture to your screen with AMD FSR 1, and at 2x and 3x it sharpens with AMD CAS. It costs almost no performance. Menu text and 2D art come from the disc at 720p, so they look the same at every setting.
• Smoother finishers and signatures. Some special moves made the game stutter for a moment when their effect started. That is fixed, and edited attires from Superstar Threads still render correctly.
• 2x and 3x internal resolution are no longer marked experimental. They need a stronger GPU: 3x uses about twice the GPU time of 1x.
• The shader cache covers more scenes, so fewer shaders are built during your first matches.

What works

Exhibition matches usually play without problems, including entrances, finishers and cutscenes. Menus, backstage brawls, Create a Superstar, Superstar Threads and the Paint Tool work too.

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

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

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 an earlier version: copy your userdata folder (your saves) into the new folder. You can move gamedata across as well to skip the disc setup. Your launcher settings carry over, and sharpening is turned on for you.
