GoldenEye VR v0.5.17

on GitHub

Fixes for the PC version from players' first reports, more useful crash
reports, and a performance pass before the next round of features. It plays
online with v0.5.15 and v0.5.16.

PC (flat)

• The mouse works in the menus: the cursor follows it, left click
  selects and right click goes back. The mouse is captured for looking only
  in play, and is free in the menus and the in-game panel.
• The in-game panel (F10) has a mouse pointer again: opening it frees
  the mouse, and closing it takes it back for looking (the click that takes
  it doesn't fire).
• The arrow keys move the menu cursor both ways: down moved it up.
• Enter is Start again, and Q, E and F do what the README says
  (next weapon, use, L): they did nothing in play.
• The mouse wheel no longer selects things in the menus.

PC VR

• Playing the flat version no longer puts PC VR on the big screen. Both
  share one settings file, and the flat game saved its screen mode into it.
  If PC VR still opens on the big screen once, hold the right stick click in
  play (or set Play mode in the launcher) and it stays in stereo.
• Virtual Desktop users: after changing VD's frame rate, disconnect and
  reconnect. Changed while connected, the headset switches but the PC side
  keeps running the game at the old rate, and VD drops frames: stutter that
  looks like the game's.

Crash reports

• A crash while drawing now logs the commands the renderer was running
  around the one that failed, and where the bad address points, before the
  system's own report. This is for two crashes reported in Tomorrow Never
  Dies that the reports so far couldn't explain.

Performance

• Test hooks that looked for files many times a second now look once a
  second or less: one of them was opened 15 to 50 times a second, and
  Oddjob's hat looked for its pack on every knife draw while the pack wasn't
  installed.
• The weapon wheel's list is no longer rebuilt every frame while the wheel
  is closed, and the sky no longer reads leftover debug switches per vertex.
• PC: the driver's debug output now reports errors only and no longer
  runs synchronously, which on NVIDIA turned off the driver's own threading.
