⚡ THIS IS THE AUTO-UPDATE RELEASE ⚡

From 0.2.2 on, COGBox updates itself: one click on the red UPDATE button at the top downloads, installs and restarts COGBox. No more manual downloads.

Getting 0.2.2: on 0.2.1 or older, go to any game's About tab → Update (or download the zip below and extract it over your COGBox folder, with COGBox closed). This is the last time you'll need to do it by hand.

COGBox 0.2.2

Fixed

• AMD graphics cards: flickering shadows and surfaces in Gears 3 and Judgment. AMD cards store 24-bit depth as 32-bit float, and the renderer read some of those values back one step off (#27, #25).
• PCs with two graphics chips (CPU graphics + graphics card): the game now uses the graphics card (#29).
• Antivirus warnings (#24): the Tracy profiler (TracyClientrd.dll) is gone. All games now use the Release runtime, and COGBox deletes the old files from earlier versions by itself.
• Gears 2 camera shake Off now also works with Title Update 6.

Changed

• One-click updates with progress on the button; COGBox restarts by itself.
• The version number is shown in the bottom right.
• Steam Deck / Linux: problem reports are saved in COGBox's reports folder.

Known issues

• SteamOS / Vulkan: scrambled text in Judgment on some AMD systems (#27). DirectX 12 under Proton is still being worked on.
• Light glows can show through walls (#30). Turning Lens flares off hides them for now; a proper fix is in progress.
• Gears 3 RAAM's Shadow: the campaign shows "coming soon" for some players (#25), and reloading a checkpoint in the bank vault fails.

As always: you need your own copy of the games. No game files are included.
