YuutaTsubasa/Free-Riders-Recompiled v0.10.15

v0.10.15 — Macs with Retina or scaled displays

on GitHub

Changes

• Macs with a Retina or scaled display (#191). On such a Mac the game closed right after Start game.
  • Cause: the game's window wasn't marked as high-resolution, so its drawing surface had half the pixels of the frames the game prepared for it. MoltenVK then answered every frame with "suboptimal", and the game gave up after 8 tries.
  • Fix: the window is now high-resolution, and the frames are sized from the window's real drawing surface.
  • Safety net: if frames are still reported as suboptimal, the game keeps running instead of closing.
• Better reports for display problems: when the system refuses to show a frame, game.log now names the exact reason, on every platform.

Everything else is the same as v0.10.14.

Validation

• macOS (M1), set to a scaled 1280x720 HiDPI mode (2560x1440 pixels):
  • this release's package ran a whole Dolphin Resort race at full speed (1.00), with all 455 pipelines and no refused frames;
  • v0.10.14 in the same mode refused 8 frames and closed, as reported.
  • Also checked: windowed and full-screen launcher settings, a 1x 2560x1440 mode, and a 960x540 HiDPI mode.
• Not tested: a real Retina panel or 4K monitor (a virtual HiDPI display was used), and moving the window between screens with different scaling.
• Windows x64 package, Vulkan, with the validation layer: a whole race, no validation errors, all 455 pipelines.
• AYN Thor, this release's APK: Dolphin Resort at full speed (0.999, 60 fps), all 455 pipelines prepared.
• Unit tests: 159 passed on Linux. GitHub Actions builds and tests passed on Windows, Linux, macOS and Android.
