YuutaTsubasa/Free-Riders-Recompiled v0.8.2

v0.8.2 — Two players on ultrawide displays

on GitHub

Changes

• Two players on ultrawide displays: on a display wider than 16:9, two-player races now widen too, where v0.8.0 and v0.8.1 kept them 16:9 with black at the sides.
  • Each half of a split race fills its side of the frame, with a wider view.
  • A Tag Race while the two hold hands fills the frame.
  • The two-player On your Gear screen fills the frame.
  • Each player's HUD moves to their own edge: the first player's rings, rank and speed on the left, the second player's speed and the map on the right. The time stays in the middle.
  • SFR_TWO_PLAYER_WIDE=0 keeps the old 16:9 picture.

Everything else is as in v0.8.1. See v0.8.0 for the ultrawide release.

Validation

• Unit tests: CTest passed on Windows (151) and Linux (143). GitHub Actions builds passed on Windows, Linux, macOS and Android.
• Scripted two-controller Tag Races on D3D12:
  • At 2560x1080 (21:9): On your Gear, the split race, holding hands and the pause menu.
  • At 2560x720 (32:9): On your Gear, the split race and holding hands.
  • A one-player Free Race at 21:9 looked the same as in v0.8.1.
• Windows package: race checks on D3D12, Vulkan, and D3D12 in a 21:9 window. Every pipeline was prepared, no shader was left untranslated and the save was left unchanged.
• Linux package: Vulkan start-up smoke test in WSL, all 455 pipelines prepared.
• AYN Thor: this release's Android 10+ APK prepared all 455 Vulkan pipelines and ran a race without errors at 59.8 fps. The APKs keep the existing signing certificate.
• Not tested:
  • a two-player race other than a Tag Race;
  • two players on Vulkan at an ultrawide size;
  • a real ultrawide monitor (only windows of that shape).
