Game pages show the game's screenshots and its Steam description, genres, developer, publisher and release date, and a Steam button in the toolbar opens Steam in one click. Thanks to @matiasmg-ok for both (highball#279, highball#292), and to udance4ever for asking for the button (highball#285).
Loud game sound no longer crackles. Windows quietly turns a game's mix down when it goes over full scale, and Wine on a Mac sent it to the speakers clipped instead. Highball's audio library now does what Windows does, and sound below full scale passes exactly as before. Environments on the default engine get it by themselves (engine r26). On a Wine 11 engine, pick r23 in the environment's settings under Advanced, Engine, or r22 if you use D3DMetal 4. HB_AUDIOLIMIT=0 in an environment's variables turns it off. Thanks to udance4ever for the report (highball-db#349).
The EA app's repair works again. Highball used to put a Mac link next to the folder link the EA installer makes, and a repair could then delete part of the app, so it crashed on its next start. Highball now leaves the installer's own link to Wine and removes the old one the next time you start the EA app. If yours already crashes, install the EA app again from Highball. Thanks to udance4ever for the logs (highball-db#318, highball-db#418).
Also in this version:
- A game the Windows Steam client installed no longer shows as installed in Steam for Mac. A Steam library both clients use, such as one on an external drive, made Play go to Steam for Mac with none of the game's fix. Thanks to Okami on Discord.
- Highball reads Steam's own data to tell whether a game has a Mac version, the way Steam for Mac does. Mac ports whose store page leaves macOS out, such as LEGO Jurassic World, LEGO The Incredibles and Batman: Arkham City, now offer Install on Mac, and 32-bit Mac builds no current Mac can run, such as Stacking or Mafia II Classic, are no longer offered first. Thanks to udance4ever (highball#310, highball#316).
- Installing an Epic game shows its size, a progress bar and the download speed at the bottom of the window. Thanks to udance4ever (highball#287).
- A game's first window comes to the front when it opens while Highball is in front. Thanks to NorseGaud (highball#286).
- Discord activity works with Vesktop and other clients that serve Discord's local socket, not only Discord's own app. Thanks to Nico on Discord.
- GTA V bought on Epic starts through the Rockstar launcher, since Highball now recognizes the Epic copies. Thanks to udance4ever (highball-db#415).
- A frame cap also holds for games that bring their own DXMT settings.
- Steam's setup note no longer tells you to turn off GPU accelerated rendering in web views, which leaves Steam's window black on the Wine 11 engine. Thanks to w8079 (highball#282).
Coming from 0.10.10, this update also brings everything from 0.10.11 to 0.10.14: Steam's window in environments set to D3DMetal, a new environment for a game getting its own Steam, external drives as drive letters, Retina mode no longer doubling the screen size Windows programs see, per-game launch arguments, disc images, Portal and Portal 2 with HDR, and The Sims Legacy Collection's thumbnails. Thanks to @matiasmg-ok, @NorseGaud and @athei for their code, and to Hayden and natalie on Discord. The notes for each are on the releases page.
The database gained many games from your reports, among them Wayfinder, which now starts with -dx11 by itself. Thanks to everyone who sent one.
