SM64 Co-Op DX VR v0.5.6
This maintenance release completes the reusable physical-cap feature, improves physical Bowser throws
Highlights
- Remove, hold, throw, recover, and physically place Mario's cap back on his head when Immersion > Grab Cap at Any Time needs to be enabled.
- Enable Cheats > Shaking Hat Gives Wing Cap and shake the removed cap vigorously to convert it. Putting it back on grants the Wing Cap; throwing it sends it rising away before it fades.
- Looking down fully, now makes Mario's body transparent. There is an option in immersion to remove this.
- Grab Bowser with one or two hands. A two-handed hold continues when one hand releases, and the final release aims the native throw from the physical controller swing. Bowser is currently still locked to the headset visibly.

Diagnosing a severe PC hitch
Launch SM64-Co-Op-DX-VR.exe --console. A stall of at least 150 ms reports timings for network, interpolation, game, Lua, audio, and render/OpenXR work. A slow first-use shader compilation produces a separate [GFX] Runtime shader cache miss line.
