v1.0.879 Changelog

• New: Added menu identifiers in the lower right of the screen so you know where you are when navigating the menus.
  
• Changed/All: Significant rendering and CPU performance improvements. Should be be most impactful to those with low end systems.
  
• Changed/All: For non-Xinput controllers, DirectInput is now internally preferred over WinMM. This should reduce or even eliminate any controller related crashes, as well as fix issues with some controller triggers not working correctly.
  
• Changed/All: Improved rendering of vision cones.
  
• Changed/All: Better fallback in the case of a missing game resource.
  
• Changed/All: When an error is written to log.txt, the error message is also sent to standard output.

• Fixed/All: Fixed F1 taking a screenshot when the game window was out of focus.
  
• Fixed/All: Fixed a tiny memory leak.
  
• Fixed/All: Other misc. fixes.
  

Notable Changes

• Most graphical elements in the game now make greater use of vertex buffer objects for rendering. This will give a performance boost, particularly for lower end systems.
  
• Music and sound volume can now be set separately in the Options screen.
  
• All 21:9 screen scaling issues have been addressed. There were some size/positioning issues in menus and they have been taken care of.
  

v1.0.874 Changelog

• New: Added separate options for sound and music volumes in the Options screen so they can be set independently.
  
• Changed/All: Floors, walls, deco, shadows, and vision cones are now created/rendered using a new method. This should significantly improve game rendering performance, particularly for low end systems.
  
• Changed/All: Minimap hint arrows (for level exit, followers) will not be shown when you are very, very close to the hints. This should fix any spinning hint arrow issues.
  
• Changed/All: Decreased the sensitivity of joysticks during menu selection, just to help prevent any accidental changing of Options when navigating menus.

• Fixed/All: Options Screen: Fixed left mouse button and right mouse button holds not registering when changing Volume or HUD Opacity values.
  

Render Quality Setting

• Half Resolution: The game will be rendered at half the window resolution and will be scaled up to match the window resolution. This setting will reduce video RAM usage at an image quality loss. This can be useful if you are running a very old video card or an old on-board video chipset and need to increase performance.
  
• 1:1 Resolution: The game will be rendered at the same resolution as the window resolution. This is considered the standard setting.
  
• Double Resolution: The game will be rendered at double the window resolution, then scaled down to match the window resolution. This will consume more video RAM and require more processing power, but will give the best image quality.
  

Full Changelog
