Aidyn ReChronicled 1.0.0

Aidyn ReChronicled 1.0.0 for Linux and Windows (x86_64).

Play on Linux: download AidynReChronicled-1.0.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz, unpack it, run bash install.sh (or
game/aidyn-rechronicled.sh in place). Needs glibc 2.38+ (any current distribution), a Vulkan driver and libdbus.

Play on Windows: download AidynReChronicled-1.0.0-windows-x86_64.zip, unpack it anywhere, run AidynReChronicled.exe. Needs
Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) and a Vulkan driver; nothing to install (the Visual C++ runtime is included).

Put your own NTSC-U 1.0 ROM (.z64) in the download's ROMs folder, and the Aidyn Patch / Aidyn Plus / Action Edition ones if
you have them, under any names: the game finds them by their contents (without one, the first start asks for it).
The README in the download has the rest: controls, Aidyn Patch, settings, adding it to Steam.

Contains no game data. Includes the newly painted art (portraits, item and slot icons, button prompts, HUD
pieces, world textures); the HD menu and world texture packs (upscales of the game's own pictures) aren't part of it.

Aidyn ReChronicled 1.0.0. The first full release with in-game updates: from here on, Updates on the title menu brings each new release in, downloading only what changed. Everything since 0.9.1 is below; 0.9.2 was the test build. 1.0.0 is the main release: new features stop here so the game can be played; bug fixes will follow as they turn up, and maybe some quality-of-life additions.

What's new since 0.9.1

• In-game updates. At each start the game looks on GitHub for a newer release, and a line at the top of the title screen says when one is out. Updates on the title menu shows what's new; Update downloads only the files that changed (each one checked, and the list of them signed, so nothing else can be slipped in), and Restart now puts them in, or the next start does. Undo the last update goes back. Saves, settings and ROMs aren't touched. Check at start turns the looking off; Test builds too also offers test builds. Linux (Steam Deck and Bazzite Game Mode included) and Windows 10 / 11; under Wine or Proton it opens the release page instead.
• Frame rate on the Display page: 60, 90, 100, 120, 144, 175, 240 or Unlimited, applied straight away and remembered.
• Above 60 fps on Steam Deck / Bazzite Game Mode and on Linux desktops. Under Game Mode (gamescope) and through XWayland the game read every screen as 60 Hz and held itself to that; it now uses the frame rate you set, and on a Linux desktop it opens its window through Wayland, which gives the real rate.
• Anti-aliasing and Supersampling are separate rows on the Display page. Anti-aliasing is MSAA alone (Off, 2x, 4x, 8x); Supersampling is its own row (Off, 2x).
• Supersampling is off by default. On handhelds such as the ROG Xbox Ally X, 2x supersampling is more than the graphics chip can draw at 120 frames a second, and the game then drops back to its own 60; MSAA 4x alone holds 120. A new install starts with it off; an existing install keeps its setting, so set Supersampling to Off on the Display page if you're held at 60.
• LB quicksaves, View shows or hides the controls card (the other way round before). The card, the Help book and the keyboard (Q quicksaves, J the card) follow.
• Camera sensitivity on the ReChronicled page, walking and battle each its own: how fast the right stick turns the camera, 0.5x to 2x walking (1x by default) and 0.25x to 2x in a fight (0.5x by default).
• The party row leaves no sliver at the bottom of the screen once it has slid away.
• The controller you're using is the one the game reads. It used to read only the first controller in the system's list; on the ROG Xbox Ally X under Steam Input that wasn't the one in your hands. Now whichever controller you press or move is followed.
• A new title logo: "Aidyn ReChronicled: The First Mage" (AIDYN, RECHRONICLED, THE FIRST MAGE in the original game's lettering style), on the title screen, the Steam art, the manual's cover and the GitHub page. When you play Aidyn Patch, Aidyn Plus or Action Edition, the title card says so under THE FIRST MAGE.
• Baird is clean-shaven, as in the game (his painted portrait had a beard).
• The title card is centred (the game had it 12 units left of the middle).
• Display on the title menu: the Display settings (widescreen, textures, VSync, window, frame rate, FPS counter, HUD at the screen edges, draw distance, anti-aliasing, supersampling) can now be set before starting a game, not only from the pause menu.
• Books in the world (Becan's Journal and the like) no longer say B closes them: their hints read Choose A (the list; Leave the Journal closes it) and Return A (an entry's page). The map's Journal and the Help book still close with B.
• Fixed a crash when continuing or starting a game from the title menu. The menu's list had room for seven entries and, with Display, Updates and the others, holds nine: the extra ones were written past its end, and the game crashed as the menu closed. (0.9.2 had this: Continue could crash it.)
• The title menu hides under its panels (Controls, Achievements, Updates); its box and last entries showed below them.
• The Steam library art has the woman's sword back as in the original cover (a long sword in its black scabbard across her hips; the repainted art had lost the scabbard). Handhelds pick it up with steam_shortcut.py.
• The title screen shows a test build's version properly ("v0.9.1 patch2", not "v0.9.1 1").
• The log (logs/last-run.log) has a Display: line with the refresh rate the game read, for problem reports.
