Trap Team Recompiled, 0.5.0-beta.6 (test version).

  • Portal speaker in Automatic: with a Trap Team portal that has a speaker (the Xbox 360 one or a PS3 / Wii U Traptanium portal), the trapped villains now talk through the portal's own speaker in Automatic too, as they do with Real USB portal only (#22). An older portal without a speaker, or F4 > Portal > Portal speaker: PC speakers, keeps the sound on the PC.

  • A shorter Skylander intro: F4 > Game > Skylander intro: Short ends the arrival of a figure put on the portal 1.5 s into its magic moment, as in Swap Force, SuperChargers and Imaginators: about 3 s quicker for a Skylander or a trapped villain. Off by default (tsapZ/SkylandersCoreOfLight#65).

  • Normal speed at high frame rates: above 120 FPS the whole game ran faster (about 1.4 times at 165 FPS, #25): it counted every frame as at least 1/120 s. That bound now follows the frame rate limit, so 144, 165, 200 and 240 FPS run at the right speed.

  • VSync really stops tearing (Direct3D 12): with VSync on (F4 > Frame rate), the picture could still tear, as the game showed each frame the moment it was ready; now it waits for the screen as the setting says (tsapZ/SkylandersCoreOfLight#75). With a FreeSync or G-Sync screen, VSync off lets the screen follow the game's frame rate instead.

  • Vulkan shows the right colours again: since the November 11 update the picture came out in false colours with F4 > Graphics > Graphics interface set to Vulkan. A setting tested only with D3D12 acted on Vulkan too; it now stays with D3D12 (tsapZ/SkylandersCoreOfLight#76, found by jonshack1990-ship-it).

  • Faster Automatic: a toy you put on your real portal now reaches the game after its first blocks, and the rest is read while the game already reads it, instead of after the whole toy (up to 1.8 s on an Xbox 360 portal). Swaps feel about as quick as on Real USB portal only. Idea and first version by TheBiemGamer (tsapZ/SkylandersCoreOfLight#62), lag measured by MythicFunkable (#22).

  • Switching the portal mode in the game: a toy on your real portal shows up right after switching to Automatic in F4, without a restart.

  • "Lift it off" in front of the portal menu: short messages like that one no longer hide behind the F6 menu.

The easy way: install Core of Light, the launcher. It sets this game up from your disc and keeps it up to date by itself.

On its own: run TrapTeamRecompSetup-0.5.0-beta.6.exe and point it at your own Xbox 360 disc (an ISO file or an extracted folder). It's not signed, so Windows may show "Windows protected your PC": "More info" > "Run anyway". The README says which disc version it needs.

The game's data (graphics, sound, levels, movies) doesn't come with it: the setup takes it from your own disc.

Problems: F4 > Game > "Report a problem" in the game, then a new issue.
