A big batch of crash, freeze and speed fixes. Thanks to Mevlock, drakolordx7, Lalit Shankar Chowdhury and BilalReloaded!
Faster
- Uncharted 3: the sinking characters fix no longer costs FPS. In 0.3.13 it took the Cartagena square from 88 down to 66 FPS on my PC; now it runs at about 96-104 with the fix on.
- The game itself is built with profile-guided optimization (PGO), a few percent faster everywhere.
- Uncharted 3 London Underground: no more drops from 60 to 10 FPS on cards with 8 GB or more. Textures the game still needed were being thrown out and loaded again.
- Frame generation no longer flickers on and off when the game runs at about 165 FPS.
New: Low latency mode (Display > Low latency)
NVIDIA Reflex on GeForce cards, AMD Anti-Lag 2 on Radeon cards. The game waits to read your controller until the GPU is ready for the next frame, so what you press shows sooner. It helps most when the GPU is the limit. The FPS counter shows "Reflex" or "Anti-Lag 2" when it's on. It's off by default for now. Anti-Lag 2 hasn't been tested on a Radeon yet, so please tell me how it works for you.
Crash and freeze fixes
- Switching games in the collection: the next game sometimes never started. Fixed.
- A game that stops on an error now closes at once instead of sitting frozen for 20 seconds.
- GPU hangs ("device lost") in some effects, and the rare Uncharted 3 start-up crash at 3440x1440.
- A freeze when several game threads mapped memory at the same time.
- Uncharted 2: a crash after a checkpoint jump.
- Games on update 1.02 sometimes stopped when a job ran before it was ready (all three games).
- More fixes in texture levels, depth images, the presenter and the shader cache.
Other
- Continue and New Game go straight into the game: the "friends' stats are not available" notice is skipped. It's a launcher option, on by default, and nothing goes online.
- Uncharted 2 Chapter Select: the first checkpoint of a chapter gets the right weapons.
- No sound? If the audio device won't open, the game now tries simpler audio modes before going silent.
Update: the launcher offers it when it starts, or unpack uncharted-windows.zip over your old folder. Saves and settings are kept.
⚠️ Never paste "fix commands" from GitHub issues, those are malware.
