GoldenEye VR v0.1.10: smoother and steadier ⚡
Bring your own game. This APK contains no GoldenEye game data. You need a ROM of the USA cartridge you own. Installing over any earlier version keeps your ROM and settings.
Faster
- Busy scenes run much smoother. The heaviest scenes, such as standing next to Frigate's hull, used to drop frames because the game sends the GPU hundreds of tiny batches of geometry each frame. The batches now go into one mapped GPU buffer instead of being re-uploaded one by one. That cut the renderer's time in those scenes by about a third, with room to spare.
- Display rate is now a launcher option: 72, 90 or 120 Hz, with 90 Hz as the new default. 90 Hz looks smooth and is easier on the headset. If you liked the old 120 Hz, pick it under Display rate in the launcher.
Fixed
- No more lockups after waking the headset. The game could freeze after the headset slept, or after you opened the Meta menu mid-game. The game kept running while its sound engine was paused, and the two fell out of step. The sound engine now keeps running, silently, while the game is paused.
For troubleshooting
- With Show stats on, the in-game readout now also shows how each frame's time is spent and how many draw calls it makes. A screenshot of it helps a lot in bug reports.
Install
See the 5-step guide in the README.
