25.3.3
======
+ Disabled Reflex Sleep unless DLSS frame generation is active in MH Wilds.
25.3.2
======
+ Disabled most of SK's debug-related functionality in Monster Hunter Wilds
to help keep REFramework from crashing.
25.3.1.1
========
+ Disable NvAPI_D3D_Sleep (...) calls in Monster Hunter Wilds if Reflex is
not enabled in the game, or if SK is forcing Reflex off.
+ Automatically workaround SteamAPI issues in Monster Hunter Wilds if user
has not reset their INI after using an older version.
25.3.1
======
+ Enabled background-processing by default in Monster Hunter Wilds.
+ Fixed NVIDIA Reflex-related issues in Monster Hunter Wilds caused by the
engine randomly inserting Reflex Latency Analysis Flash Triggers, and
also never inserting Input Sample latency markers.
* Provided you do not swap between DLSS Frame Generation on/off in a
single session, Reflex frame pacing should be fixed now.
25.2.29.1
=========
+ Disable GPU Decompression Metacommands when forcing GPU Decompression off
in DirectStorage overrides.
25.2.29
=======
+ Added nvngx_dlssg.dll and nvngx_dlssd.dll to the list of DLLs that
Special K can auto-load an alternate version of.
* Place the DLLs in the same PlugIns\ThirdParty\NVIDIA directory as dlss...
+ Fixed potential issue with older games that use DLSS without Streamline,
which could prevent them from loading NVNGX.
+ Minor tweaks to anti-tamper workaround in Monster Hunter: Wilds
+ Allow DirectStorage overrides in Monster Hunter: Wilds;
reset SK's config for MHW if you've previously run 25.2.28.x...
25.2.28.1
=========
+ Allow Steam Input to run in the background in Monster Hunter: Wilds
25.2.28
=======
+ Improved detection of DLSS/DLSSG version when overrides are applied using
NVIDIA App.
+ Various fixes for MonsterHunterWilds anti-tamper
* Game will deliberately corrupt graphics if it detects modification.
25.2.27.2
=========
+ Fixed potential to load ReShade AddOns twice when using local injection
25.2.27.1
=========
+ Added support for DLSS version detection when an NVIDIA App configured
override is being applied.
25.2.27
=======
+ Write DLSS Frame Generation overrides to driver profile instead of
trying to hook the NvAPI driver settings API.
* A game restart is required, and running commands as admin to modify
this part of the driver profile is also necessary.
25.2.26.1
=========
+ Finished support for ForcedMaxMultiFrameCount introduced in 25.2.21.1,
but no control panel option will be added until more testing is done.
25.2.26
=======
+ Restore partial latency statistics (DXGI) on systems that do not have
NVIDIA Reflex capable hardware installed.
25.2.24
=======
+ Added option to prevent Streamline's fake frame pacing for fake frames.
[NVIDIA.DLSS]
AllowFlipMetering={true|false} Default: false
25.2.22.1
=========
+ Optimized shutdown procedure when ReShade is present to avoid rare deadlocks
25.2.22
=======
+ Add workaround for Proton's lack of support for WASAPI's IID_IAudioClient3
interface. It's a never ending series of broken Windows APIs and a real
miracle it can even run a few games; at least they stopped deliberately
crashing for code they do not implement.
* That's an improvement, if nothing else :)
25.2.21.1
=========
+ Added compat hack for using RenoDX HDR in Avowed; load ReShade as
ReShade64.dll from the game directory.
+ Added experimental forced DLSSG Multiframe Generation Frame Count override,
this setting should enable older games on 5xxx GPUs to use 3x or 4x mode.
(Updated Streamline DLLs are necessary.)
[NVIDIA.DLSS]
ForcedMaxMultiFrameCount=1|2|3 (2 = 3x, 3 = 4x)
- Setting is experimental and does not appear in the control panel...
* Note setting this override will expose multiframe generation options in
settings menus for games like Cyberpunk 2077 on RTX 4xxx GPUs, but it
won't actually allow you to use the feature :)
25.2.21
=======
+ Removed reshade::addon_event::display_change from SK's codebase, because
it was not merged into ReShade 6.4.0 and some addons behave funny with it.
25.2.20
=======
+ Added DLSS Multi-Frame Generation Rate to text OSD and control panel.
>> Override support should follow soon...
25.2.19
=======
+ Added hook exclusions for something called medal-hook64.dll, which uses
'Static' window class and a 2x2 dummy window to initialize its hooks.
* SK used to ignore all 'Static' window class requests, but AMD's driver
uses 'Static' for GL/Vk / DXGI interop...
-> Devs: Please use better class names, 'Static' is as bad as game.exe :)
25.2.18.2
=========
+ Added pacing option to Alt-Tab for ADHD users with poor impulse control.
+ Added command console variable to control Alt-Tab pacing:
Input.Keyboard.AltTabPace (Milliseconds between Alt-Tab if >= 0)
25.2.18.1
=========
+ Made Windows Key / Alt+Tab block/unblock into a configurable feature in the
new Input Management | Keyboard section of the control panel.
+ Added command console variables to control keyboard special key blocking:
Input.Keyboard.EnableAltTab
Input.Keyboard.EnableWinKey
-1 = Don't Care, 0 = Block, 1 = Allow
25.2.18
=======
+ Fixed (low-level) keyboard/mouse hook function table issues in 32-bit games
+ Prevent games from using low-level keyboard hooks to block Alt+Tab
25.2.17
=======
+ Fixed cursor issues in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 once and for all.
25.2.16.3
=========
+ Added DontHookWndProc=true to Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 to keep the mouse
cursor from randomly appearing when the game detects modified memory.
+ Enabled drag-n-drop functionality (for INI files) for all graphics APIs;
texture mod drag-n-drop still requires D3D11.
+ Added config profile for Avowed and set "Treat Foreground Window as Active",
because the game is using the wrong test for window activation.
+ Added an INI option to control whether Alt+Tab stuck-key fixes are
applied even for non-background-render scenarios.
[Window.System]
FixStuckAltTabKeys={true|false} Default=true
25.2.16.2
=========
+ Re-enable background rendering mode in Hello Kitty: Island Adventure,
because 25.2.16.1 fixed the original input problem.
25.2.16.1
=========
+ Add 5 millisecond delay between each of the keys listed in 25.2.16;
seems to fix Avowed's menus not working correctly...
25.2.16
=======
+ When "Continue Rendering" is enabled, generate fake key release events for
Tab, Escape, Alt, Ctrl, Shift, Windows after alt-tabbing back into a game
unless keyboard input is set to always block.
* This should help with games that think Alt, etc. are still down after
Alt-Tab when using background render mode.
25.2.15
=======
+ Fix for Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 mouse cursor issues.
25.2.13
=======
+ Added BsSndRpt64.exe to internal injection blacklist; some kind of bs
crash handler for Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.
25.2.11
=======
+ Blacklist "WaitTitleProject.exe" for some weird Square Enix game's launcher.
25.2.10.1
=========
+ Enable the rest of NVIDIA's Reflex stats even for Steam users, since they
are not affected by the overlay.
25.2.10
=======
+ Disable NVIDIA Reflex PC Latency Stats if the Steam Overlay is loaded, or
if SK has not been setup to disable Steam's hooks.
* They hook and place a mutex on PeekMessageW (...), which makes the Reflex
latency stats thread that SK uses block execution of the game's main
thread, and the original solution of throttling PC latency stat
updates only results in inaccurate values reported by NV's overlay.
- Instead of hurting performance, this feature is disabled for Steam users.
25.2.8.3
========
+ Added support for importing settings from an INI file using drag-n-drop
from a URL (i.e. drag the download icon from Discord into the game).
* Currently SK allows importing any INI file named "SpecialK_import.ini",
or "<game_executable_name>.ini" (with the .exe extension removed).
25.2.8.2
========
+ Automatically download the AVIF codec if a user selects AVIF clipboard
format and does not already have the codec.
+ Fixed HDR snipping screenshots when AVIF is the selected clipboard format,
it will use HDR PNG for the snip because it is simpler and lossless.
25.2.8.1
========
+ Apply Xbox analog stick remapping to Windows.Gaming.Input and GameInput
+ Added INI setting to hide Windows.Gaming.Input support from games, which
usually causes them to fallback to XInput.
[Input.Gamepad]
HideWindowsGamingInput={true|false} Default: false
* XInput has a few benefits, such as support for higher polling rates, and
the API allows polling while the game window is in the background.
25.2.8
======
+ Added options to invert X/Y-axes on analog sticks in Xbox mode.
+ Added options to swap left/right analog sticks in Xbox mode.
+ Added command console variables to control the aforementioned options:
Input.Gamepad.InvertLX, Input.Gamepad.InvertLY
Input.Gamepad.InvertRX, Input.Gamepad.InvertRY
Input.Gamepad.SwapSticks
* All variables are booleans
25.2.7.3
========
+ Drag-n-Drop D3D11 .dds texture mods no longer need a game restart, as long
as the texture is the same format and dimensions as the original.
25.2.7.2
========
+ Fixed NieR: Automata and potentially other games processing mouse input
while "Continue Rendering" is turned on and the mouse cursor is failing
hit tests (i.e. another window is between the game and the cursor).
+ FORCEFULLY write the default INI values for Kingdom Come Deliverance 2,
because these issues were fixed a long time ago but users are not
resetting their INI.
+ Disable forced Anisotropic Filtering in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.
25.2.7.1
========
+ Handle games that run Render and Window on different threads when setting
up drag-n-drop support.
25.2.7
======
+ Added experimental support for dragging and dropping .dds files into D3D11
games to setup texture injection.
* Drag files from Discord with the .dds extension and SK will download the
texture and place it in the right location (game restart required).
This will be extended to support .dll, .asi and .addon{32|64} also, but they
require extra config (i.e. load order and local vs. global ReShade).
25.2.6.8
========
+ Hide the controller reading debug menu under Input Management / Gamepad
unless Xbox debug mode is enabled (right-click the Xbox Deadzone slider),
if you have an Xbox controller this doesn't apply to you.
* That debug menu loads up DirectInput 7 and causes issues with some
overlays, so it's going back to hidden by default...
25.2.6.7
========
+ Added widescreen patch to Ender Lilies.
+ Fixed EOS frame counter in games that use both SteamAPI and EOS SDK.
25.2.6.6
========
+ Fixed some EOS games not triggering EOS SDK hooks for overlay/achievement
features when using Global Injection.
+ Disable Hardware Cursor in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.
25.2.6.5
========
+ Xbox Guide + Start or PlayStation + Start now triggers HUDless screenshots,
provided d3d11_shaders.ini defines any HUD shaders.
25.2.6.4
========
+ Fixed HUDless screenshots not working in some D3D11 games...
(mostly ones that use fewer than 3 buffers in their SwapChain).
25.2.6.3
========
+ Fixed monochrome JPEG achievement icons showing up as misaligned Red-only
textures in D3D12 achievement popups. (They are converted to RGBA now...).
25.2.6.2
========
+ Fixed Chrono Cross resolution uncap not working after December's D3D11 state
tracking optimization.
+ Pass initialized values for interface count when building stateblocks during
SK_D3D11_BltCopySurface (...) and calling ID3D11DeviceContext::*SGetShader
25.2.6.1
========
+ Change D3D11 hook initialization to avoid "Out of Graphic Memory" jibberish
error in NieR: Automata
25.2.6
======
+ Workaround Steam overlay manipulation of DirectInput 8 that could deadlock
25.2.5.4
========
+ Fixed DirectInput8 related crash in Cyberpunk 2077
25.2.5.3
========
+ Added experimental support for DLSS 310.x presets J and K;
tooltip descriptions have not been updated.
25.2.5.2
========
+ Fix DInput 7/8 hook race that may occur when opening SK's control panel if
Epic's overlay is loaded in a game that uses DirectInput 8.
25.2.5.1
========
+ Avoid endless deathloop of ResizeBuffers (...) in Kingdom Come Deliverance
by lying to it about the format of its SwapChain when it calls GetDesc.
25.2.5
======
+ Enable "continue rendering" by default in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2,
(and 1 because the dummies use the same executable name) to prevent
the game from wigging out on alt-tab.
25.2.4.3
========
+ Disabled D3D10 and DXGI Flip Model in Assassin's Creed Origin and Odyssey
+ Add 3000 frame delay befor enabling visibility hacks for wide aspect ratio
displays in Tales of Graces f, to mask glitches on the title screen.
25.2.4.2
========
+ For shadow scissor rectangles completely within the normal 16:9 area,
in Tales of Graces f, simply rescale and offset the scissor instead
of disabling it.
For shadow scissor rectangles that extend to the left/right of the 16:9
area or top/bottom (i.e. 16:10), extend the rectangle to the edge of
the screen.
* This gets rid of most artifacts without completely disabling scissor
tests on shadows.
25.2.4.1
========
+ Continue auto-disabling texture cache for non-mipmapped textures if
UnityPlayer.dll is from 2020 or older.
25.2.4
======
+ Stop auto-disabling texture cache for textures without mipmaps in
Unity engine games.
+ No longer cache 16-bit or 32-bit single-channel no mipmap textures
25.1.31
=======
+ Disable XInput Emulation in Hello Kitty: Island Adventure.
+ Disabled render in background in Hello Kitty: Island Adventure or it
breaks input and requires you to use keyboard and mouse.
25.1.30.2
=========
+ Enable modified form of scissor rectangle hack for 16:9 users running at
resolution scales != 100% in Tales of Graces f to prevent shadows from
disappearing.
25.1.30.1
=========
+ Restored the proper behavior for the command console command:
D3D11.ShaderMods.ToggleConfig <shader_config.ini>
25.1.30
=======
+ Fixed DisableIfTexture=... condition in d3d11_shaders.ini not actually
enabling texture binding state for vertex, pixel, and geometry shaders.
25.1.29.3
=========
+ Increase allocation size for DEV_BROADCAST_DEVICEINTERFACE_W global
structs to accomodate storing a device path MAX_PATH-many characters.
25.1.29.2
=========
+ Changed Widescreen Visibility Hack and "Smog" (now renamed to "Blur")
settings in Tales of Graces f from unsaved debug test options to
actual settings stored in SK's INI for the game.
+ Added tooltips explaining what the abovementioned things even are :)
+ Disable notification about fixing achievement bugs in Tales of Graces f
after the first one has been unlocked.
25.1.29.1
=========
+ Fixed a SERIOUS screwup in the Tales of Graces f Steam port, where ALL
achievement-related code is contingent upon the end-user having the
Steam overlay enabled!
* Bad Bandai Namco, Bad! Pay me to do your QA next time? :)
25.1.29
=======
+ Detach Mono threads after invoking C# functions on threads that are not
originally part of the Mono runtime to avoid garbage collection on the
render thread in Tales of Graces f.
+ Increased color grading LUT size to reduce banding in Tales of Graces f.
25.1.28
=======
+ Finished porting all of Lyall's Tales of Graces f fix BepInEx mod to C++,
including aspect ratio centering and new code to address object culling.
25.1.27.3
=========
+ Remove Temporal AA option when MSAA is selected in Tales of Graces f.
+ Improve overall UI layout and spacing in Tales of Graces f control panel.
25.1.27.2
=========
+ Boosted default gamepad polling rate up to 1 kHz again after disabling WGI
in favor of XInput for Tales of Graces f.
+ Added options to control anisotropic filtering front and center in
Tales of Graces f's control panel.
25.1.27.1
=========
+ Prevent Tales of Graces f using Windows.Gaming.Input to get it to fallback to
XInput 1.3, which has support for gamepad input polling on -real- Xbox
controllers while the game window is in the background.
* This also reduces overhead on controller rumble and potentially allows for
the use of higher polling rates on devices that SK is not handling the
HID <--> XInput/Windows.Gaming.Input translation for.
25.1.27
=======
+ Add protection against recently changed versions of "Kiero" hook framework,
which changed its window class from "Kiero DirectX Window" to "Kiero".
* This hook system is used by CyberTweakEngine and Overwolf overlays, and
generally causes all kinds of window management problems if special
compatibility code isn't activated...
Renaming the damn window class was much appreciated, Kiero :-\
25.1.26.4
=========
+ Fixed tone-mapped screenshot setting not applying to clipboard screenshots
+ Tweaked ReShade compatibility slightly
25.1.26.3
=========
+ Fixed AVIF screenshots copied to the clipboard _after_ being saved to disk
the normal way not being valid because they had a .jxr file extension in
the clipboard name...
25.1.26.2
=========
+ Added Discord compatible AVIF HDR screenshot encoding, for MUCH more
efficient image sharing than crappy old HDR PNG.
+ Added an option to copy HDR AVIF images to the clipboard instead of
PNG; default remains PNG for now -- eventually AVIF will reign supreme!
25.1.26.1
=========
+ Always clear the camera's background to black in Tales of Graces f,
to avoid random -white- bars in places where the UI has to be
centered in 16:9 for wide/narrow screens.
+ Set the "opaque downsampling" pass in Tales of Graces f to native
resolution when MSAA is used.
25.1.26
=======
+ Fixed scenario where SK wouldn't correctly detect RenoDX in
Tales of Graces f.
25.1.25.1
=========
+ Released new version to get 25.1.25.1 version number
+ Disable HDR in Tales of Graces f without RenoDX
25.1.25
=======
+ Changed default gamepad polling rate to 240 Hz in Tales of Graces f,
because Steam Input and the native Windows.Gaming.Input implementation
do not work reliably at higher rates.
+ Enabled HDR rendering in Tales of Graces f w/o using HDR remasters;
uses R11G11B10 instead of FP16 to improve performance w/ MSAA.
25.1.24.1
=========
+ Reduced D3D11 render state tracking when ReShade is loaded, but there are no
actual ReShade triggers defined in d3d11_shaders.ini that would require
tracking ReShade draw call triggers.
+ Fixed assignment to config variables in refactored Tales of Graces f code
not actually writing a value to the INI file (i.e. Temporal AA not saved).
25.1.24
=======
+ Default Tales of Graces f to 1 kHz input polling rate, since SK's handling
input and the dummies hard-coded 60 Hz input polling rate no matter what
framerate limit you have selected (!!)
+ Added MSAA, Temporal AA and Resolution scaling options to Tales of Graces f.
25.1.23
=======
+ Disable scissor rectangles in Tales of Graces f in order to fix screenspace
shadows being clipped incorrectly on non-16:9 displays
+ Avoid potential recursive hook initialization in DirectInput 7 software
+ Fixed accidentially disabled D3D12 device cleanup between 25.1.22 and .22.1
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).
