Changelog
- tentative new name; too edgy?
- added fallback path for slightly older GPUs (see updated requirements below)
- more CPU & GPU rendering optimizations (e.g. +~20% on ad_tears)
- more loading time optimizations for complex maps
- new software emulation mode (r_softemu 0=off / 1=subtle / 2=balanced / 3=raw)
- support for lightmapped liquids (r_litwater 0/1)
- fixed various vid_restart issues and simplified it to be practically instant
- changed vid_vsync, vid_fsaa and gl_texture_anisotropy to apply immediately (no vid_restart required)
- fixed various stability and Intel compatibility issues (big thank you to @j4reporting for all the testing!)
- added lightstyle interpolation for reduced eyestrain (r_lerplightstyles 0/1/2) - thanks, @mhQuake!
- added more options to the video menu
- r_scale > 4 now allowed on high-res screens
- fixed 'texture not aligned to 16 pixels' crash in mg1/horde2
- added code to handle sky textures with non-standard sizes and warn about them (e.g. ad_tears)
- updated SDL2 to 2.0.18
System requirements
Note: these requirements might not be 100% accurate since they are based solely on reported OpenGL capabilities.
There could still be unforeseen compatibility issues.
