ReCompiled Steel 0.2.0

ReCompiled Steel 0.2.0

What's new

• Two new robots: ANGLER and QUILLBACK. Made for this project and free
  for anyone to use (public domain). ANGLER is a deep-sea salvage diving suit
  with an anglerfish lure over its helmet; QUILLBACK is a spiked speedster
  with seven glowing gems caged in its waist. They are a separate, optional
  download: unzip ReCompiledSteel-mods-0.2.0.zip into the game's folder
  (on Android, copy the robot folders into RealSteel/mods). The official
  add-ons must be installed. Tested on Windows so far.
• The game builds mods itself. A robot mod is now just its models and
  pictures: the game turns them into game files when it starts, from your own
  copy of the game, so no mod has to carry game data and nobody runs tools.
  Mods with a built folder still load. A robot that can't be loaded (no
  add-ons, an unknown base set, a model with a problem) is left out, and the
  game says which and why at the bottom of the screen.
• Options for slower devices, all off by default so nothing changes
  unless you turn them on: Crowd off, Texture quality: Half and
  Keep game speed (fewer frames instead of slow motion on devices that
  can't hold 60 fps), next to the lower resolutions from 0.1.2.
  Show memory use and Frame rate position help to see what they
  change. Large textures also load faster, and memory use on the GPU is much
  lower.
• Android: older drivers. Drivers that report Vulkan 1.1 or 1.2 can now
  work through the extensions they offer; if something is still missing, the
  game says what instead of closing.
• Android: the right way up. The picture is drawn in the screen's own
  orientation, so it is correct whichever way round you hold the device,
  also on handhelds with a sideways-mounted screen.
• Android: touch controls your way. Settings, Controls: size and
  see-through for all controls, and Arrange touch controls to drag each
  button where you want it and change its size, shape (circle, rounded,
  square or a curved kidney) and angle. Settings lists scroll by dragging.

ReCompiled Steel 0.1.2

What's new

• Phones: the game is landscape and fills the screen. On phones (which
  are portrait by nature) the game could start sideways, and turning the
  phone stretched the picture instead of rotating it. It now always runs in
  landscape, either way up, and draws at the screen's real size.
• Lower resolutions for slower devices. Settings, Graphics, Internal
  resolution now also offers 540p, 480p and 360p. They are faster but softer
  than the original 720p, which stays the default.
• Android: better bug reports. Save diagnostics in the launcher now
  writes one zip with everything a report needs (the app's log, the game's
  logs, the renderer's log, any crash report and the settings), and a start
  that fails saves one by itself. Attach it to an issue: your online name,
  match password, lobby and IP addresses are left out of it. The logs also
  name the GPU and its driver.
• Android: optional custom graphics driver (Qualcomm/Adreno devices).
  Graphics driver in the launcher can load a Vulkan driver file you
  choose instead of the device's own, through libadrenotools. It is off
  unless you choose a file, entirely at your own risk and not supported by
  this project: check any problem with the system driver before reporting
  it. Use system driver undoes it, and after a failed start on a custom
  driver the launcher offers to switch back.

ReCompiled Steel 0.1.1

What's new

• Android installs the game by itself. Press Install game files in
  the launcher, pick the folder holding your Xbox 360 files (the game, its
  title update and any add-ons, for example the Content folder from your
  console or USB stick), and the installer lays everything out, the same way
  the PC and Steam Deck setup programs do. No more copying folders across
  from a PC install.
• A new Android launcher: the banner, what is installed at a glance, and
  a progress bar while installing.
• The title update is required, and the game now says so. The port is
  built for the updated game, so the original executable alone could not
  start: on Android it crashed (#1). The setup programs and the Android
  installer now refuse to install without the title update, and the game
  shows a clear message instead of crashing if it is missing.
• A start that failed could crash on the way out (a GPU thread outliving its
  service); it now shuts down cleanly.

ReCompiled Steel 0.1.0

ReCompiled Steel 0.1.0

The first public release: Real Steel (Xbox 360, 2011) as a native program for
Windows, Linux / Steam Deck and Android (arm64). It contains no
game data. The setup program copies your own copy of the game from files you
took off your Xbox 360.

What's in it

• The whole game, recompiled: career, assembly, local multiplayer,
  add-ons, achievements and saves.
• A native Vulkan renderer in place of the Xbox GPU:
  • internal resolution up to 5K, MSAA, FXAA or both, and anisotropic
    filtering up to 16x;
  • v-sync on or off, and HDR output on HDR displays;
  • 60 fps on a Steam Deck and on a Retroid Pocket Nova.
• Any screen shape: 16:9, 16:10, 21:9 and 4:3. The 3D view widens instead
  of stretching, and menus are laid out for the shape. The help bar sits at
  the bottom and flashes cover the whole screen.
• Settings in the game's own menus: HELP AND OPTIONS > GAME OPTIONS, with
  tabs above the panel (LB / RB, or click or tap a tab). F1 or both stick
  clicks open the same settings as an overlay. F11 toggles fullscreen.
• Online multiplayer through the game's own Xbox Live code:
  • matches found through lobby servers anyone can run (LOBBY_SERVER.md), on
    the local network, or by typing an address;
  • match passwords and leaderboards.
• Achievements with unlock pop-ups, and the list in the game's menus.
• Robot mods: drop a robot folder into mods/ (MODDING.md). Each one is
  built on any of the 24 stock skeletons, with its own models, textures,
  names, stats and prices. Removed mods are cleaned up once no saved robot
  uses them.
• Controls: keyboard controls you can rebind next to any controller. On
  Android, touch controls appear when no controller is connected, with the
  dodge buttons under the right thumb.
• Android: the APK keeps the game data in a RealSteel folder on the
  device and survives being suspended and resumed. See android/README.md in
  the repository.
• Small comforts:
  • F12 screenshots, and saves backed up on every launch;
  • English or Japanese, and mute while in the background;
  • a Cheats tab with game speed and a cash button;
  • QUIT GAME on the main menu, and no more DOWNLOAD CONTENT.
• Third-party licences are in the licenses folder of each download.

Known issues

• Windows shows "Windows protected your PC" the first time, because the
  release is unsigned. Choose More info, then Run anyway.
• The MY SCORE page of the leaderboards stays empty.
• Hole punching through home routers has only been tested on a few networks.
  LOBBY_SERVER.md has the port-forwarding fallback.
• At 4:3 and 16:10, the full-screen fades in fights cover only the 16:9 part.
• On Android only the Retroid Pocket Nova has been tested.
