Peter Jackson's King Kong PC Port v1.9.10
What's new
- Fixed: the screen shaking non-stop in the V-Rex chapter (#39). Above 30 FPS, the camera shake from the V-Rex's footsteps could stop fading out and keep going until you died. The shake now fades the same way at any frame rate, as it does on the Xbox 360 at 30 FPS. Thanks to MustopuhGgi for the report.
- Camera shake settings. Camera shake (on or off) and Camera shake strength (10% to 200%) are on the Gameplay page.
- The best upscaler for your graphics card, by default. The launcher checks which graphics card you have (your dedicated card if you have one, otherwise your integrated graphics): NVIDIA NIS at Quality on an NVIDIA card, AMD FSR 1 at Quality on AMD, Intel or anything else. If you've picked an upscaler yourself, it stays as you set it.
- Every graphics preset uses that upscaler. Low draws at Performance, Medium at Quality, and High, Ultra and Steam Deck at Native. Supersampling is now its own setting, and FXAA Extreme is gone (Ultra uses FXAA).
- Join the official Discord and Add to Steam are now panels at the bottom right of the Home screen. Press Y for Discord and X for Add to Steam (R and Del on the keyboard), or press right to move to them.
- Stable or beta. Change version on the About page switches between the stable version and the beta, for early test builds of upcoming features. Betas can have bugs and support for them is limited; your saves and settings are kept either way, and you can switch back at any time. There's no beta build yet.
- Button prompts that match your controller. Button prompts has a new Automatic setting, now the default: Xbox 360, Xbox Series, PlayStation and Steam Deck controllers each get their own buttons, in the game and in the launcher. Pick any style yourself and it stays as you set it. Steam Deck prompts are new too.
- Steam style achievement pop-ups. Pop-up style on the Achievements page picks between the Xbox 360 pop-up and a Steam style one.
