WWE '12 PC v0.7.0-beta: no more slowdowns after a few matches, post-match replays are back, Xbox 360 saves import, and a much better launcher.

⚠️ No game data included: you need your own copy of WWE '12 for Xbox 360.

Fixed

Video memory leak. The game lost video memory after every scene and never got it back. After a few matches (or about twenty in Universe mode) this caused frozen pictures, "slow motion", frame-rate drops that stayed until a restart (#10), and the game running at a quarter of its speed on 4 GB graphics cards. Video memory now stays stable from one match to the next.
Post-match replay and MATCH HIGHLIGHTS (#9). The game needs 150 MB of free space for its replays, and the port reported only 64 MB, so highlights were switched off. It now sees the real free space on your disk.
Black flash over the right half of the picture for a split second before the bell. On some Intel and AMD graphics this may also have been the coloured blocks on the right during entrances (#7, #11): please tell us!
Graphics without Vulkan (for example Intel HD 5500): instead of a black window, the game and the launcher now explain that the graphics card has no Vulkan driver and what to try.

New

Import your Xbox 360 saves: in the launcher's SAVES page, pick your WWE '12 save packages; the game installs them at its next start.
SAVES page: back up, restore and delete your saves, or start from scratch. A backup is made automatically before anything is replaced or deleted.
Controller vibration in WWE Universe matches (it was missing there, even on the Xbox 360).
Launcher:
- Updates are safer: everything is checked before anything is replaced, and a failed update leaves your install as it was. Option to include beta versions.
- Keyboard page that really works: "Set" a key by pressing it, wrong names are flagged.
- About page: "Copy diagnostic info" (no personal data) and "Open the logs folder", to help with bug reports.
- The Play page shows your graphics cards, or a clear message if Vulkan is missing.
The log now shows video memory use, to help track down performance reports.

Known issues

Freeze in some entrances on a few PCs (#4): we can't reproduce it yet. If it happens to you, wait 15 seconds, close the game and send us hang_trace.txt from Documents\wwe12\logs.
Random freezes (#8) and white eyes on AMD graphics (#12): feedback welcome, the memory fix may help.
60 fps entrances (experimental, off by default): title belts can move oddly.

Installation

From 0.6.x: the launcher offers the update; one click, your settings, game folder, saves and mods are kept.
New install: download WWE12-PC-v0.7.0-beta.zip below, unzip it, put the disc image (.iso) of your game in the game folder, and run WWE12 Launcher.exe.

Français : fini les ralentissements, images figées et chutes de fps après quelques matchs (fuite de mémoire vidéo corrigée). Le replay d'après-match et MATCH HIGHLIGHTS fonctionnent. Le petit écran noir avant la cloche a disparu (et peut-être les pavés colorés à droite sur Intel/AMD : dites-nous !). Nouveau : import des sauvegardes Xbox 360 et page SAUVEGARDES dans le launcher, vibrations de manette en mode Univers, mises à jour plus sûres, page clavier qui marche vraiment, et un message clair si votre carte graphique n'a pas Vulkan. Mise à jour en un clic depuis le launcher.
