25.1.22.1
=========
+ Rewrite Tales of Graces f framerate limiter override so that SK's slider now
immediately changes the game's internal limit, and no longer causes
conflicts when trying to use Latent Sync on a fixed-refresh display.
25.1.22
=======
+ Remove VectoredExceptionHandler from SteamAPI_RunCallbacks that was causing
some games (Tales of Vesperia) to randomly fail to run.
+ Improved Mono embedded runtime hook initialization procedure to load various
Unity modules and compile their JIT code ahead of time.
+ Improved compatibility with ReShade/RenoDX in Tales of Graces f -- for best
results load ReShade as a global plug-in using plug-in load order, rather
than using ReShade64.dll installed locally to the game directory.
+ Avoid setting IDXGIDevice1's Device Latency for SwapChains created with
support for Latency Waitable Handles.
25.1.21
=======
+ Added experimental support for hooking Mono (C#) code in order to port
Lyall's TGFFix mod to C++ and integrate directly into Special K.
+ Whenever Special K's framerate limiter is enabled, it will override the
internal framerate limiter in Tales of Graces f, allowing > 120 fps
without any special configuration or third-party software.
25.1.20.1
=========
+ Change name of various Tales of Graces f graphics overrides and add
tooltips explaining when to disable them.
25.1.20
=======
+ Added options to disable Heat Haze and FXAA in Tales of Graces f
25.1.19.1
=========
+ Revert 25.1.19 because uncapped framerate support was added to TGFix 0.0.4.
25.1.19
=======
+ Automatically apply an appropriate maximum framerate limit based on display
refresh rate (i.e. 119.5 for displays >= 120 Hz, 59.95 for 60 Hz displays)
when launching Tales of Graces f for the first time.
25.1.18.2
=========
+ Correctly save settings for "Enable Atmospheric Bloom" in Tales of Graces f.
25.1.18.1
=========
+ Added options to control native PlayStation vs. Xbox emulation in Graces.
+ Added option to sharpen character and object outlines in Tales of Graces.
+ Added options to disable Depth of Field and Bloom to Tales of Graces.
+ Allow monitor management keybinds to work on systems with over 16 monitors
* Most likely, a system does not have 16 attached monitors, but it may have
been assigned \.\\DISPLAY<N> values as high as 128 following repeated
driver restarts / monitor power-cycles.
@ All the more reason to NEVER develop a game that stores user preference
for monitors using the GDI Display Name; always use VidPn DisplayPath!
25.1.18
=======
+ Upgrade games to use IDStorageQueue2 when possible to avoid a bug in
DirectStorage that would prevent querying queue capabilities in some
poorly tested games.
25.1.17
=======
+ Disable Tales of Graces' native DualSense support and translate
DualSense HID to Windows.Gaming.Input in order to add rumble support.
+ Alias the Share and Trackpad Click buttons on DualShock4/DualSense
controllers in Tales of Graces f because various button prompts say to
use the trackpad but it normally maps to Share when SK does API
translation.
* For DualShock4 and DualSense users, download:
https://sk-data.special-k.info/addon/TalesOfGraces/DualShock4.dds
or
https://sk-data.special-k.info/addon/TalesOfGraces/DualSense.dds
and place it in SK_Res\inject\textures\8E9DD816.dds to ensure
button icons are correct.
25.1.13
=======
+ Disable flip model upgrades for FarCry 4 because dxdiagn causes too many
SwapChains to be created on the same window.
* Windows 11 "Optimization for windowed games" can upgrade the game to flip.
25.1.5
======
+ Improved handling of mouse cursor when background render is enabled and
the game window is in the background (for games that use GetCursorPos ()).
25.1.3.1
========
+ Revert 24.12.29.1's optimizations that could cause incorrect game rendering.
25.1.3
======
+ Fixed INI file not saving at exit
+ Revert changes introduced in 25.1.1
25.1.2.2
========
+ Fixed potential crash at exit in D3D12 games.
25.1.2.1
========
+ Re-enable anti-cheat workarounds for various Asian gambling games.
25.1.2
======
+ Add hack to workaround dgVoodoo thread sync wonkiness in 32-bit D3D12.
+ Fixed local injection in D3D11 games not working.
25.1.1.2
========
+ HOTFIX to continue installing queued hooks even if one of them fails due to
anti-cheat memory protection.
25.1.1.1
========
+ HOTFIX to install DXGI/D3D11 hooks immediately rather than deferring them.
25.1.1
======
+ Sped up hook installation a little bit to reduce hook races.
24.12.31.1
==========
+ Fixed the PlayStation/Xbox Button + Right Trigger to minimize game feature
so that it also hides the ADHD Multi-Monitor background window.
+ Organized Display and HDR menus better.
24.12.31
========
+ Optimized SK's Mouse Window Hook to use the hit test code, rather than
performing hit testing of its own to see if the mouse is insie the window.
+ The ADHD background window will now disappear when minimizing a game while
the feature is active.
24.12.29.5
==========
+ Add backup input thread for games that stop processing input on their
message queue for long periods of time (i.e. during FMV playback),
so that SK's keyboard macros and basic mouse input (no scrollwheel)
remain responsive.
* Or, in the worst-case, this backup thread handles all Keyboard & Mouse
because it wasn't possible to hook the game's window thread.
24.12.29.4
==========
+ Removed foreground window HWND caching, the WinEventHookProc does
not order the events it sends coherently.
+ Added extra checks to ensure mouse cursor can activate games when
clicking on the control panel while the window is in the background.
24.12.29.3
==========
+ Change SK_Thread_HybridSpinlock (Critical Section + Spinlock) w/
a recursive SRWLock implementation for testing.
+ Switch to calling GetAsyncKeyState (...) if SK's thread-local
Keyboard Hook does not pickup any input for 5 frames.
24.12.29.2
==========
+ Added option to have ADHD mode disengage when Alt-Tabbing to apps on
the same display as the game.
+ ADHD mode disables Aspect Ratio Stretch now.
+ Fixed PlayStation controller rumble not being cleared at game exit.
24.12.29.1
==========
+ Added a new display mode to blackout secondary monitors while playing
games (Refer to Display | ADHD Multi-Monitor Mode).
+ Added keybind for ADHD Multi-Monitor Mode to Monitor Management keys
in the Display menu.
+ Added command console variable to toggle this mode:
Display.MultiMonitorFocus {true|false} Default: false
+ Various minor optimizations for mouse (cursor) and window management.
24.12.29
========
+ Improved input neutralization for games that use Overlapped IO to read
HID devices (i.e. SDL2) when blocking input to the game.
+ Fixed problems with mouse cursor clipping caused by treading ClipRect
as thread-local instead of global.
24.12.28.5
==========
+ Updated compiler version; anything broken between 24.12.28.4 and now is
probably a compiler bug.
24.12.28.4
==========
+ Disable dynamic spinlocks feature accidentally enabled for all games
in 24.12.28.1.
24.12.28.3
==========
+ Deferred Context Isolation now re-enables the Wrap -AND- Hook codepath
required for some D3D11 games.
+ Fixed NieR: Replicant setting changes not applying immediately.
24.12.28.2
==========
+ Fixed unintentional creation of empty NVIDIA driver profiles for
games whose .exe exists in multiple profiles when checking whether
ReBAR is enabled for a game during initialization.
24.12.28.1
==========
+ Added caching for calls to GetForegroundWindow (...) and
GetWindowThreadProcessId (...)
+ Removed locking code from XInput, it was already mostly lockless
24.12.28
========
+ Fixed some games inheriting SK's hardware cursor after the cursor
moves off of SK's UI.
24.12.27.3
==========
+ Load ReShade Early plug-ins as early as possible (after INI parse)
+ Optimized various state block and UI code
24.12.27.2
==========
+ Slight performance tweak for D3D11_**SetShader_Override (...) and
D3D11_**SetShaderResources_Override (...).
24.12.27.1
==========
+ Fixed incorrect Reflex eligibility checks introduced in 24.12.27
24.12.27
========
+ Optimized D3D11 state tracker to ignore set shader calls, and draw calls unless
specific combinations of render mods that actually need them are active.
+ Optimized control panel's end-of-frame input polling and cursor status checks.
+ Optimized shader tracker to avoid clearing active RTV cache at the end-of-frame
unless render mod tools window is open.
+ Optimized timer queries used by SK's shader profiler and HDR widget to suspend
while render mod toolkit / HDR widget are not active.
+ Optimized D3D11 Stateblock Restore code to bypass invoking SK's state tracking
hooks.
24.12.26.3
==========
+ Added missing draw call information to Reflex latency markers in D3D11 games
24.12.26.2
==========
+ Small optimization to text OSD
+ Optimized D3D11 state tracking for SetShaderResources and removed unnecessary
hooks on SetSamplers.
24.12.26.1
==========
+ Fixed potential deadlock in RenoDX mods, the ones that do not check for
nullptr before dereferencing ptrs will simply have to crash until fixed.
+ Disabled floating-point exception handling when ResizeTargets is called,
because it causes all CryTek games to crash.
24.12.26
========
+ Added internal settings to control D3D11 state tracking for map/unmap and
set shader resources API calls, and disabled them for a few high overhead
games.
+ Disabled wrapping of D3D11 device contexts for all games except for
Tales of Vesperia.
24.12.25.2
==========
+ Improved compatibility with RenoDX mods, even the ones that do not check for
nullptr :grimacing:
+ Slightly sped-up initialization in some D3D games.
24.12.25.1
==========
+ Create an IDXGIFactory2 rather than IDXGIFactory when initializing hooks to
avoid complications from ReShade calling QueryInterface to upgrade an
interface that SK has not yet wrapped.
24.12.25
========
+ Reduced performance overhead of the Steam and battery management sections of
the control panel (battery overhead applies to framepacing widget too...)
+ Ignore D3D11DeviceContext Set*Resource state tracking unless the render mod
tools window is open.
24.12.24.2
==========
+ Further reduce performance overhead in D3D11 across the board for CPU-bound
scenarios in games that make a lot of draw calls.
+ Optimized Get/SetMute to avoid constructing a temporary ISimpleAudioVolume
COM object every time it is called.
24.12.24.1
==========
+ Lowered CPU overhead in D3D11 games related to third-party overlay color
correction shader replacement when an HDR display is attached.
>> State tracking for them will only occur during Present (...) calls now.
24.12.24
========
+ Avoid destroying the SwapChain that Special K creates during initialization
to setup D3D11 hooks, because poorly written ReShade addons may crash.
+ The option to disable the Steam overlay's rendering now also blocks it from
installing input hooks, making it finally inert.
+ Automatically apply anti-cheat bypass to all Hoyo games according to their
digital certificate, so I no longer have to manually do this when they
release a new game.
24.12.23
========
+ When ReShade is used as dxgi.dll in D3D12 games, SK no longer gives warnings
about compatibility problems.
+ Avoid using explicitly constructed ReShade effect runtimes as much as
possible when SK is not running in Hookless ReShade (compatibility) mode,
to avoid confusing AddOns that think these are normal ReShade runtimes.
+ Added checks to detect ReShade's incorrectly reported D3D11 immediate device
context reference counts that may cause deadlock during game exit or when
temporary D3D11 devices are constructed and destroyed (ie. overlay init)
24.12.22
========
+ Fixed absent custom resolutions caused by a typo in the Display menu a few
years ago...
+ Restored missing audio devices in the list of pairable display/audio output
mappings, lost about a moth ago.
+ Fixed CPU affinity mask potentially overflowing and not working in 32-bit.
( Whether you have one of those mythical 64-core CPUs or not, chances are
affinity mask settings were not working in 32-bit games ).
24.12.21.4
==========
+ Revert scheduler changes related to Sleep (0) behavior in 24.12.15 that cause
Silent Hill 2 to crash.
24.12.21.3
==========
+ Fixed recent change that would cause the control panel to crash in Steam games
if Steam cloud is disabled or SteamAPI integration is turned off.
24.12.21.2
==========
+ Fixed typo that has been preventing SK's D3D11 texture cache from evaluating
the list of freeable textures when cache capacity exceeds user-defined
limit for several years... oops?
+ Fixed various other small issues, nothing as serious as the one above.
24.12.21.1
==========
+ Fixed cursor auto-hide changes accidentally introduced in 24.12.21
24.12.21
========
+ Re-aranged the window management and mouse cursor section of the control
panel slightly.
+ Opted the majority of the codebase into the non-commerical open source
license of PVS Studio; by placing comments above the license disclaimer
in most source files.
24.12.20.2
==========
+ HOTFIX for NVIDIA Vulkan/DXGI interop issues introduced in 24.12.20.
24.12.20.1
==========
+ Eliminate unnecessary load of Windows.Gaming.Input.dll in games that do not
actually use the API.
+ Fixed various minor issues discovered using static analysis with PVS-Studio.
24.12.20
========
+ Fixed EOS crash in games using extremely old versions of EOS SDK lacking
support for EOS_UI_AddNotifyDisplaySettingsUpdated (i.e. Path of Exile 2).
+ Add mutex to SK_IWrapD3D11DeviceContext::Release (...) to handle recursion
during deferred destruction of D3D11 Immediate Device Context singleton.
24.12.19.4
==========
+ Fix DualShock 4 Bluetooth analog stick problems caused by typo in 24.12.19.2
24.12.19.3
==========
+ Correctly show PlayStation icon in GameInput games only when PlayStation
input/output is active, for native GameInput remove the icon.
+ Allow DualSense users (non-Edge version) to access the Impulse Trigger
strength slider.
24.12.19.2
==========
+ Add logarithmic scaling to deadzone compensation on PlayStation controllers
and extend the option to native Xbox controllers also.
+ Fixed off-by-one issue when quantizing the x-axis in some PlayStation device
configurations.
24.12.19.1
==========
+ Added system to ensure XInputGetState{Ex} (...) packet counts are always
monotonic increasing in mixed-native/translated hot-swap scenarios.
(i.e. Xbox and PlayStation controller are both connected and SK's
auto-switch-on-new-input causes the game to start reading the other)
DOOM Eternal only responds to sequential packet numbers, so exposing the
_real_ device packet numbers would cause it to stop responding to input.
+ Clear the state of the PlayStation button when all PlayStation controllers
disconnect, so that SK doesn't block all other buttons because it thinks
the user is trying to input a PlayStation + <...> button combo.
24.12.19
========
+ Overhauled Windows.Gaming.Input implementation to support hot-plugging
PlayStation controllers and enabling "Xbox Mode" without requiring a
complete game restart.
+ Add 7.5 second delay before announcing virtual PlayStation controllers
to games using Windows.Gaming.Input
+ Added logging for games that try to create IID_IRawGameControllerStatics.
24.12.18
========
+ Correctly implement AVIF screenshot encoder quality; quantizer was set to
lossless at all quality levels before!
+ When holding Xbox Guide / PlayStation / Nintendo Home button, ImGui menu
navigation is now temporarily blocked (if chords are enabled).
24.12.17.2
==========
+ Reduce latency on HID output reports (i.e. rumble, lighting changes, etc.)
for DualShock 4 and DualSense{Edge} controllers.
24.12.17.1
==========
+ Revert ResizeTarget optimization from 24.12.15.4, because it only works as
intended in D3D11 games.
24.12.17
========
+ Reduced default Impulse Trigger strength in Forza Horizon 5 to 33%
+ Added PlayStation controller latency readings back to the control panel
24.12.16.1
==========
+ Fixed beeping when pressing keyboard input in some games after using chords:
PlayStation + R2 / PlayStation + L2 to minimize and restore a game.
24.12.16
========
+ Improve HID->XInput timestamp management when threads are updating the state
concurrently.
+ Fix potential crash while games poll keyboard input from multiple threads
and SK's primary render context is not active.
+ Speed up render context re-initialization following a window resize.
24.12.15.4
==========
+ Revert recent changes to Sleepless Window Thread that could hurt framerate.
+ Unset most hooked window management trampoline functions during shutdown.
+ Use ShowWindowAsync (...) in all cases where synchronous state change is
unnecessary, in order to minimize window management wait-chains.
+ Do not show Windows.Gaming.Input warnings to PlayStation controller users
if theey have deliberately blocked a game from using XInput-derived APIs.
+ Avoid IDXGISwapChain::ResizeTarget (...) when appropriate, in favor of
the simpler and much more likely to succeed without disrupting MPOs,
IDXGISwapChain::ResizeBuffers (...).
24.12.15.3
==========
+ Add hacky workaround for Indiana Jones' Vulkan window not properly releasing
topmost status on alt-tab.
24.12.15.2
==========
+ Removed unnecessary Windows.Gaming.Input warning messages in SDL2 and Nixxes
games if they initialize input before creating a game window.
24.12.15.1
==========
+ Apply/reset trigger resistance for DualSense controllers every time they
connect/reconnect, and do not wait for vibration data to be written first.
24.12.15
========
+ Added configurable constant trigger resistance for DualSense controlelrs...
[Input.Gamepad]
{Left|Right}TriggerResistance={-1.0,[0.0,1.0]} Default=-1.0 (not applied)
{Left|Right}TriggerResistsAt={-1.0,[0.0,1.0]} Default=-1.0 (not applied)
TriggerResistsAt defines the ratio of trigger pull (1.0 = full pull)
before any resistance is applied; set to 1.0 or -1.0 to disable.
NOTE: 0.0 resistance actually has slight (minimum supported) resistance.
* This is a per-game setting, not currently exposed in the control panel.
+ Added command console variables to control the settings listed above:
Input.Gamepad.DualSense.ResistStr{L|R}={-1.0f,[0.0,1.0]}
Input.Gamepad.DualSense.ResistPos{L|R}={-1.0f,[0.0,1.0]}
+ Added command console variables to control Xbox Impulse Trigger strength:
Input.Gamepad.DualSense.ImpulseStr{L|R}=[0.0,1.0]
24.12.12
========
+ Disabled anisotropic filtering optimizations in Metaphor: ReFantazio because
most textures are not mipmap-complete.
24.12.8
=======
+ Uncommented checks for PlayStation controllers when a game uses
Windows.Gaming.Input warning about potential incompatibility.
24.12.3
=======
+ Various changes to ensure GameInput games do not read from the same memory
that SK's input I/O threads are actively writing to, lockless of course.
24.12.2.1
=========
+ Fixed internal deadzone on PlayStation controller input used to determine
which gamepad has the most recent input (i.e. if the same controller is
attached to USB and Bluetooth simultaneously), being applied to the
readings sent to games.
* This was causing stick drift.
24.12.2
=======
+ Added a trigger deadzone applied during trigger force feedback to keep
games from registering the small force feedback movement as actual user
input (i.e. pulling and releasing a gun's trigger rapidly).
24.12.1.4
=========
+ Support native GameInput implementations when Xbox Emulation is turned off.
24.12.1.3
=========
+ XInput emulation now bypasses GameInput.dll for systems that do not have
this DLL.
24.12.1.2
=========
+ Enable Impulse Trigger strength sliders in Windows.Gaming.Input games
24.12.1.1
=========
+ Allow Starfield to read Windows.Gaming.Input and write XInput
24.12.1
=======
+ Fixed issues with games that poll XInput multiple times per-frame from more
than one thread.
+ Implemented support for reading XInput and writing Windows.Gaming.Input in
the same game (Forza Horizon 5's Impulse Triggers now work on DualSense).
24.11.30.4
==========
+ Added Xbox Impulse Trigger->PlayStation Adaptive Trigger emulation for games
using Windows.Gaming.Input (99.99% of games that support the feature).
* Make sure Xbox Mode is enabled and restart if needed; off by default.
24.11.30.3
==========
+ Properly remove Adaptive Trigger force feedback when impulse vibration stops
24.11.30.2
==========
+ Implement PlayStation Adaptive Trigger support for DualSense controllers
connected using Bluetooth.
24.11.30.1
==========
+ Bring back original slUpgradeInterface / slGetNativeInterface implementation
that could handle situations where sl.interposer.dll is loaded late.
+ Increase default impulse trigger strength modifier to 0.75x, and properly
handle the case where setVibration (...) has zero trigger data.
24.11.30
========
+ For all Unreal Engine games that use GameInput, enable Xbox Emulation by
default on first launch.
+ Implement Adaptive Trigger response for GameInput Impulse Trigger emulation,
shooting guns and stabbing stuff in STALKER 2 now has Force Feedback that
would otherwise be Xbox exclusive!
24.11.29.5
==========
+ Enable XInput emulation by default in STALKER 2
24.11.29.4
==========
+ Ensure that "LowSpecMode" is enabled even for Metaphor: ReFantazio users with
texture mods installer, and change the auto-disable feature to only apply
when staging texture cache is enabled.
+ Disable deferred context isolation in Metaphor by default for performance,
re-enable it if you need live texture modding or hudless screenshots.
+ Improved thread interlocking for XInput rumble
24.11.29.3
==========
+ Make Impulse Trigger Str. (Left/Right) configruable from SK's control panel.
+ Correctly clear rumble when games pass a nullptr to SetRumbleState (...).
24.11.29.2
==========
+ Added preliminary Xbox Impulse Triggers -> DualSense Haptics, in STALKER 2;
think of it more as supplementary rumble for the time being.
It does give a sensation you wouldn't get from just the 2 normal high/low
frequency rumble motors (or emulated motors in DualSense's case), but it
is not as advanced as actual haptic effects or Force Feedback Triggers.
I think a combination of the two could possibly create a convincing feeling,
but haven't had time to implement the various force feedback effect types
yet.
24.11.29.1
==========
+ Avoid memory move in SK_Exception_HandleThreadName (...) when assigning
wide character name, explicitly copy the string.
24.11.29
========
+ Stop forcing latency waitable swapchains on in games that do not normally
use them unless SwapChainWait is set to a non-zero value in INI.
+ Optimize NVIDIA Reflex timing marker code in D3D12 games to avoid a constant
check for sl.interposer.dll.
24.11.28.7
==========
+ Adjust Unreal Engine thread priorities for reduced stutter.
+ Disable OpenGL and D3D9 hooks in ReShade is loaded as dxgi.dll or d3d12.dll,
in order to speed initialization up and reduce the chances of hook races.
24.11.28.6
==========
+ Fix potential crash on non-Latency Waitable D3D12 SwapChains when SK
attempts to query the device latency from the D3D12 Device's DXGI Device.
+ Remove Latency Waitable status from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2's SwapChain to help
reduce stutter slightly.
24.11.28.5
==========
+ Implemented PlayStation->GameInput translation for DualShock 3/4 and
DualSense controllers over USB and Bluetooth (DS4/DualSense only).
+ Removed warning about needing DS4Windows in GameInput games.
24.11.28.4
==========
+ Implement haptic/rumble blocking support for GameInput; S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2
uses impulse triggers, so next step is to translate those to DualSense.
24.11.28.3
==========
+ Remove warning for ReShade loaded as dxgi.dll/d3d12.dll in D3D12 games;
it's still not a fully compatible combination, but the UI will at least
work (no SK Add-On releated features will).
24.11.28.2
==========
+ Add 1 frame delay before returning GAMEINPUT_E_READING_NOT_FOUND when
initiating GameInput device blocking, so that the game will first read
safe neutralized input values.
(i.e. you don't keep running forward when the control panel opens).
24.11.28.1
==========
+ Improved gamepad input blocking when using GameInput
+ Wrapped IGameInputReading in order to implement PlayStation->GameInput
translation (not complete).
24.11.28
========
+ Added initial support for GameInput; that means activity indicators in the
active Input API section of the control panel and blocking device classes
when SK's control panel is open or devices are enabled/disabled.
+ Currently Special K cannot emulate GameInput for PlayStation controllers,
>> You must use DS4Windows to play games such as STALKER2 using a DualShock
or DualSense controller.
* Emulation support is planned, but the API is new to me and there is only
one known game that uses the API at the moment :)
24.11.27
========
+ Adjusted Tomb Raider Remastered (OpenGL)'s default settings to use 8-bpc
instead of 10-bpc, because the game is sRGB.
24.11.25
========
+ Disable the option to clear Flip Model backbuffers on present by default,
because it prevents OBS Game Capture in some (D3D11) scenarios.
24.11.24.2
==========
+ Allow moving windows to different monitors by dragging without triggering
SK's monitor-change message (causes games to maximize the game window).
24.11.24.1
==========
+ Fixed accidentally using ImGuiKey_MouseLeft to index the ImGuiIO::MouseDown
array (which only has 5 buttons; the value of ImGuiKey_MouseLeft is 653!)
* It should have been ImGuiIO::AddMouseButtonEvent (ImGuiKey_MouseLeft,...).
>> This relatively new bug only affected games w/ (Low-Level) Mouse Hooks...
+ Ignore mouse button capture when the mouse cursor is over a non-client part
of a game window (i.e. title bar or resize grips).
+ Disengage the "confine cursor" option temporarily while a game window has
been grabbed and is inside of the "size/move" modal loop, so that the
window can actually be resized or repositioned without interference.
24.11.24
========
+ Unload plug-in DLLs at game exit _before_ uninstalling all hooked functions.
+ Add plug-in DLL names to the unload log entires during game shutdown.
+ Run each plug-in unload attempt within its own exception handler and
continue unloading remaining plug-ins if there is an exception.
24.11.23.2
==========
+ Fixed the issue in 24.11.23.1 the correct way :) The staging copy of the
backbuffer needs to be enqueued, the reference to the backbuffer released,
and the command queue flushed immediately and then there are no chances
for the swapchain backbuffers to have outstanding references.
24.11.23.1
==========
+ Fixed D3D11 screenshots occasionally causing display mode changes to fail if
a (Blt Model) game requested a mode change within 500-ms of the last screen
capture.
24.11.23
========
+ Cleaned-up Mouse Cursor section of Input Control Panel and removed the old
"Low-Level Mouse Settings" section.
+ Auto-Bluetooth Compatibility now only powers off PlayStation controllers
that have advanced Bluetooth mode active if SK has seen the game attempt
to poll input using WinMM or DirectInput 7/8 at least one time first.
# Controllers start in "simple" Bluetooth mode when initially powered on,
which is a mode compatible with DirectInput and WinMM.
>> Prior to this change, it could cause an endless loop of the controller
powering off, Steam Input re-initializing the controller in advanced
Bluetooth mode when powered back on, and then SK turning it back off!
* It is a niche feature that is more likely to be accidentally enabled by
users not completely familiar with its purpose than the chances of
playing a game that requires it.
24.11.22
========
+ Update ReShade Add-on API headers to include new events in the next release.
+ Reduce unnecessary WM_NCHITTEST messages sent to games when the cursor is not
even moving.
24.11.21
========
+ Enable Fake Fullscreen mode by default in STALKER 2, because it uses that
crap (in D3D12) for HDR... yay!
24.11.20
========
+ Fixed only a single monitor being listed in the Display menu.
+ Added measures to prevent various ATLUS ports from moving the game window
back to the primary monitor whenever HDR is enabled/disabled or resolution
changes (they handle WM_DISPLAYCHANGE and WM_MOVE weirdly).
24.11.19
========
+ Restored support for using D3D11 Render Mod Tools in games with multiple
deferred contexts to debug shaders when ReShade is active.
24.11.18
========
+ Disable SteamAPI file hash checks on Fallout 4
+ Handle window activation more explicitly in Metaphor Re:Fantazio so that
its Keyboard Hook does not capture input events when the window is not
focused.
24.11.16.3
==========
+ Fixed various problems indicated by static analysis...
24.11.16.2
==========
+ Fixed problems with SK not re-initializing D3D11 when the active SwapChain
is destroyed and re-created.
+ Fixed potential issues with loading ReShade as a plug-in and config files
not correctly being passed to create_effect_runtime (...).
24.11.16.1
==========
+ Implement Lossy scRGB->HDR10 Quantization the correct way :)
24.11.16
========
+ Added texture sampling fixes for Metaphor: ReFantazio so that it actually
can make use of anisotropic filtering, instead of setting MaxAnisotropy
and then using a texture filter that doesn't support anisotropic...
+ Revert a few ReShade integration changes (synchronous loading of PlugIn)
+ Added Lossy scRGB->HDR10 Quantization mode to reduce filesize on HDR PNG
screenshots.
24.11.16
========
+ Disable GOG Overlay in Unity Engine games with AMD GPUs, because the GOG
overlay will cause AMD's shitty interop to kick in when it sets up for
OpenGL (an API the game does not use, but AMD's driver starts interop)
24.11.15.3
==========
+ Fix various problems with games that use (Low Level) Keyboard hooks thinking
Alt/Tab are stuck.
+ Allow mouselook in games even if Mouse Input is set to Disable in Background
+ Added fixes for Metaphor: ReFantazio using wrong SRV formats for textures
24.11.15.2
==========
+ Use synchronous init when loading ReShade as a plug-in for maximum compat.
24.11.15.1
==========
+ Fixed ReShade (Add-on version) not being exempt from settings that block
mouse input to games.
+ Added HUD vtx shader hashes for Metaphor: ReFantazio for hudless screenshots
24.11.15
========
+ Add support for generating mipmaps for BC7 textures that are mip-incomplete,
they will be decompressed and then the mipmaps will be generated, and no
attempt to recompress them back to BC7 will be made because that's SLOW!
24.11.14.2
==========
+ Revert recent change to foreground window checks.
24.11.14.1
==========
+ When loading ReShade as a Plug-In, automatically load all AddOns in a Game
Profile's ReShade\AddOns\ directory and any in Global\ReShade\AddOns\.
24.11.14
========
+ Prevent loading/saving INI files in blacklisted processes, and do not create
logs if blacklisted.
+ Do not spawn an global injection unload listener in blacklisted processes.
+ Render the first 120 frames in DXGI-based games without fractional VSYNC if
a game tries to use it, so that SK can detect VRR support correctly.
24.11.13.2
==========
+ Fixed SK's UI not rendering correctly in D3D9Ex games beginning in 24.11.5.1
+ Handle EDID Display Names that do not adhere to specs and do not space-pad
names shorter than 13 bytes.
24.11.13.1
==========
+ Hide/disable "Overbright Tonemapping" when RenoDX ReShade AddOn is detected.
24.11.13
========
+ Replace attempts by games to set DLSS Presets A-D with E, when DLSS version
is >= 3.8.10.
* Needed for Nixxes games, since they explicitly request Preset C instead of
DLSS default.
24.11.11
========
+ Reinstate background render mode as default policy in Metaphor: ReFantazio.
+ Allow Steam Input to hook and override WinMM Joystick APIs by default;
Steam Input's hooks can be disabled if needed (perf overhead) by setting:
[Input.Gamepad]
AllowSteamWinMM=false
24.11.9
=======
+ Fixed INI parser not returning to the start of the INI to scan for macros
after looking for plug-ins to load.
(i.e. macros in SpecialK.ini or dxgi.ini being ignored)
24.11.5.1
=========
+ Detect local ReShade DLLs as ReShade, and allow pressing the default
ReShade UI toggle keybind to work even if SK is blocking keyboard input
to the game.
24.11.5
=======
+ Optimized keyboard handling in proxy Windows (Low-Level) Hook procedures
+ Ensure that all keyboard input a game sees through a keyboard hook while
the window is not actually active are key releases, so that upon upon
alt-tabbing back, they do not do that stupid thing they usually do
where they think a key is permanently stuck down.
24.11.4.5
=========
+ Removed the last remaining remnants of SK's original cursor anti-warp system.
24.11.4.4
=========
+ Disable periodic LatentSync resync when G-Sync is active
+ Remove warning about using LatentSync on VRR displays
24.11.4.3
=========
+ Xbox/PlayStation + Right/Left trigger will Minimize/Restore the game.
24.11.4.2
=========
+ The Xbox/PlayStation button on gamepads can now be used to activate a
chord input without that input counting for screensaver deactivation.
* In other words, you can use chorded feature like volume control while
a screensaver is active.
+ Make UI navigation moving the mouse cursor a persistent (global) config
option, and turn it off by default.
24.11.4.1
=========
+ Correctly restore hardware cursor image when closing the control panel and
cursor centering is turned off.
24.11.4
=======
+ Ensure confirmation dialogs cannot be dismissed using the overlay toggle
keyboard / gamepad bindings, and gamepad is always captured while they
are waiting for a user response.
+ Make cursor centering on SK's control panel into a configurable option.
* Refer to: Input Management > Mouse Cursor; this is a global preference.
24.11.3.3
=========
+ Hide mouse cursor when the game is using SetCursorPos (...) to implement
mouselook and cursor management is enabled.
+ Ensure that upon closing the keybind editor dialog, the keybind configured
does not immediately trigger.
24.11.3.2
=========
+ Change keyboard/mouse/gamepad blocking state so that it is evaluated
once per-frame frame and all other tests use the value set at the
beginning of a game's frame.
24.11.3.1
=========
+ Handle UnhookWindowsHookEx (...) correctly, by setting the HHOOK handle
during SetWindowsHookEx{A|W} (...).
24.11.3
=======
+ Disable mouse while SK's control panel is open in Dragon Age The Veilguard.
24.11.2.3
=========
+ Workaround CAPCOM DRM catching exceptions it should not be using a
Vectored Exception handler during CPU test for illegal instructions.
24.11.2.2
=========
+ Fixed missing DLSS and other API functionality caused by 24.10.31.4
24.11.2.1
=========
+ Remove all cursor anti-warp config settings and control panel items.
24.11.2
=======
+ Added INI setting to disable DirectStorage hooks.
[Render.DStorage]
EnableHooks={true|false} Default: true
+ Disable DirectStorage integration in Monster Hunter Wilds.
24.11.1.4
=========
