EternalVR v0.1.59 (alpha)

The Arsenal's shortcuts work from the controllers and say which button does what, and the Fortress's
collectible viewer names the grips.

• VirusTotal: scan report (0 of 67; the mod's DLL 0 of 71 and the launcher 0 of 71), and Windows Defender finds nothing.

If you have 0.1.6 or later, the launcher offers this update by itself (or use "Check now" on the Checks and log
tab). Otherwise unzip over the old folder or anywhere new, and run EternalVR.Launcher.exe. Your launcher
settings carry over.

Windows Defender may on some PCs quarantine the launcher as "Trojan:Win32/Bearfoos.A!ml". That's a false positive:
the launcher isn't code-signed yet and every release is a new file Windows hasn't seen, so Defender's cloud model
sometimes guesses (the "!ml"). To get it back: Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Protection history,
open the entry, Actions > Restore.

This build was launch-tested on the Steam version (in a level) and the Game Pass version (up to the main menu), on my
test PC with the OpenXR simulator. None of the changes below have been played in a headset yet.

Playing on a lower-end PC? I'd love to hear how it runs:
tell me your card, settings and how it played.

What's new

• The Arsenal's shortcuts work from the controllers. The hint bar in the Dossier's Arsenal named keyboard keys
  (F, X, T) no controller sent. It now reads [X] CUSTOMIZE WEAPON, [Y] EQUIP MOD and [Right Stick Click]
  CUSTOMIZE WEAPON WHEEL, and those buttons do it while that bar is up. Elsewhere they do what they did before.
  Pushing a stick left or right still turns the weapon row.
• The Fortress's collectible viewer names the grips. It showed Q / E around the item's name; it now shows
  LG / RG, the grips that already turned it.

Known issues

• Foveated rendering on AMD and Intel cards (new in 0.1.56) hasn't been confirmed on those cards yet. If it
  looks wrong or crashes, turn it off and tell me.
• The HUD's smallest text is hard to read: the mission challenge names and the Demonic Corruption bar's
  title. A larger HUD size on the Play tab makes them bigger.
• With motion controllers off (gamepad), the weapon wheel still sits off to the right, where the game draws it.
• A few screens still show keyboard keys: tips whose text names a key ("pressing [M]"), the custom weapon
  wheel's reset to default (R), and on Vive wands the Arsenal's customize weapon and equip mod (F, X), which have
  no button there.
• Sights are lined up on five guns so far; the rest can point a little off. Go by the Aim dot.
• The Precision Bolt's scope sits about 3 degrees off your aim, because the Heavy Cannon is lined up for its
  iron sights.
• With head aim there's no crosshair or aim mark while the Precision Bolt is zoomed in. Shots go to the middle
  of your view. On the Game Pass version head aim may still show the scope's ring.
• The gun doesn't sit exactly in your hand on every weapon; some guns sit a little off.
• Parallel Eye Rendering is still highly experimental and off by default. The full list is under "Parallel Eye
  Rendering" in KNOWN-ISSUES.
