1.9.7: a full-screen map, frame generation, seamless co-op that gives its bells, and many fixes. The launcher offers it as an update (Install update), or download bbport-windows.zip and extract it over your current folder: your saves, settings and mods are kept. Everyone in a co-op session needs 1.9.7.
Seamless co-op: the Hunt Bell and Kin Bell now arrive
BBSC hands out its bells only after it has backed up your save, and that backup always failed while the game was running, so the bells never came and a new character had no way to start co-op. They now appear in your inventory when you start a co-op session from the launcher. Host: ring the Hunt Bell. Guest: ring the Kin Bell.
New
- Hunter's Atlas, a full-screen map by MikeTat1988 (HuntersAtlas, GPL-2.0): your position, floors, lamps, NPCs and gates in all 16 main areas, with optional fast travel to discovered lamps, pickup markers and a map that opens up after each boss. Settings → Mods & Patches → Hunter's Atlas: turn it on, press Prepare maps once (5–15 minutes; made from your own game files), then choose Map in the game's quick menu. Needs the clean 1.09 game.
- Frame generation (from Supermedo's port): AMD FSR 3.1 on any GPU, in Visuals → Frame generation. NVIDIA DLSS frame generation comes in a later build.
- Ultrawide (21:9, 32:9) done properly (emurphy04's work): camera, HUD and menus fit the screen, the item menu is no longer scrambled, and HUD position puts health and items at the edges. The game's own PC Graphics menu now lists ultrawide sizes.
- Older processors (Intel 2nd/3rd generation, many Xeon E5 v1/v2): run with translated instructions, best effort.
- More game languages, including Portuguese (Brazil) with its dubbing, Chinese, Korean, Polish and Turkish.
Fixes
- Sharper 4K: with Live resolution on Auto, outputs above 1080p no longer get a blurred depth of field.
- Mods on exFAT/FAT32 or USB drives no longer stop the game with "[WinError 1] Incorrect function"; read-only game files no longer stop it either.
- Discord sign-in works on PCs whose certificate list is out of date.
- Crash fixes from Supermedo's port: lamp travel, random crashes after about an hour, video memory full, flips out of order.
- Game of the Year dumps get the FPS, resolution and effect patches.
- Keyboard: a sprint is kept when you change direction.
- Integrated graphics (Ryzen laptops, ROG Ally), HDR black level, audio crackle, offline title screen goes straight to the menu, a clear message for a damaged game extraction, and a 3-second "hold Shift for the launcher" notice at start.
