Still on v0.73 or v0.74? Download this release by hand once (their launchers check the wrong place for updates, fixed in v0.74.1). From v0.74.1 on, the launcher offers it by itself.
🔊 Sound Without the Console's Files
• The game now has sound out of the box. Until now, sound needed two firmware files from your own PS4 (libSceNgs2.sprx and libSceUlt.sprx), which we cannot ship. Without them, the game was silent.
• A built-in sound mixer (Oussama268's port of HayatoG/tlg_pc's NGS2, GPL-2.0) now plays the game's sound, ATRAC9 included. It is the default for everyone: nothing to copy, nothing to set up.
• Your console's modules are now optional. To use the firmware's mixer instead, tick "Use my console's sound modules" on the new Sound page.
• Tested side by side: normal sound and the same FPS either way (69.7 with the built-in mixer, 69.5 with the console's modules).
🎧 New Sound Page in the Launcher
• Channels: Automatic (Windows fits the game's 7.1 to your device), Stereo 2.0, Surround 5.1 or Surround 7.1. For 2.0 and 5.1 the port mixes the game's 7.1 down itself (ITU coefficients, soft limiter, no clipping). Pick Stereo if voices sound quiet on headphones or ordinary speakers.
• Subwoofer bass in stereo: the LFE channel mixed into both speakers, or left out.
• Sound device: play on a headset, TV or speakers by (part of) its name, without changing the Windows default. The game log lists your devices.
• Volume up to 500%, here and in the in-game menu (F10). Peaks are softened instead of clipping.
• The sound engine setting (built-in mixer or console modules).
🌐 Launcher
• The "What's new" screen shows English notes when the launcher is in a language other than Portuguese (#410).
ℹ️ Notes
• Includes everything from v0.74.2 (AMD Radeon crash fixes, random colours on older AMD cards fixed, Control Flow Guard fix).
• With the game's debug menu on, rare crashes can happen. Keep it off for normal play.
