WWE '12 PC v0.8.0-beta: a frozen-picture fix, two players with one controller, PlayStation button icons, display options.

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

Fixed

Frozen picture while the sound goes on (for example the Road to WrestleMania intro): the graphics card was sent an impossible command after the game reused a render surface, and stopped drawing. Found and fixed. This was probably behind other "frozen picture" reports too (#8): please tell us if it still happens!
Game closing right at start when the game or Documents folder path contains special characters (#15).
Coloured blocks on the right during entrances on some Intel and AMD graphics (#7, #11, #13): new render surfaces are now cleared before use. Please tell us if they're gone! If not, add svr_rt_no_compression = true at the end of wwe12.toml and try again.
Graphics with a too old Vulkan driver (for example AMD Radeon HD 8000M, #14): a clear message instead of a black screen.
Lighter on the CPU: the render thread does less work per frame, which helps laptops with 2-core processors.

New

Two players with one controller: the keyboard can be its own controller (player 2). Launcher, CONTROLS page ("Keyboard plays as"), or mnk_player = 2 in wwe12.toml.
PlayStation button icons with a DualShock 4 / DualSense (plug it in before starting the game), or forced with wwe12_button_icons = "playstation" / "xbox".
Display options in the launcher (new DISPLAY / GRAPHICS / ADVANCED tabs): borderless window, FPS counter (F2 in game), frame limit, CPU priority.
The log now shows your game disc's version, to help with bug reports.

Known issues

Freezes reported on PCs with 2-core processors (#4, #11): if it happens, wait 15 seconds, close the game and send us hang_trace.txt and stderr.txt from Documents\wwe12\logs (please close OBS or other overlays first).
White eyes on some AMD cards (#12). Batista missing for some players with the Legends Pack: we're looking into it.
Turbo loading screens are still experimental and off (they can hang a load on 4-thread CPUs).
60 fps entrances (experimental, off by default): title belts can move oddly.
More graphics options (shadows, depth of field, crowd…) are coming in a next version.

Installation

From 0.6.x / 0.7.x: the launcher offers the update; one click, your settings, game folder, saves and mods are kept.
New install: download WWE12-PC-v0.8.0-beta.zip below, unzip it, put the disc image (.iso) of your game in the game folder, and run WWE12 Launcher.exe.

Français : correction de l'image figée avec le son qui continue (par exemple l'intro du Road to WrestleMania), du jeu qui se fermait au démarrage avec des caractères spéciaux dans le chemin, et peut-être des pavés colorés à droite pendant les entrées sur Intel/AMD (dites-nous !). Nouveau : jouer à deux avec une seule manette (le clavier devient le joueur 2), icônes de boutons PlayStation, fenêtre sans bordure, compteur d'images par seconde (F2), limite d'images et priorité du processeur dans le launcher. Mise à jour en un clic depuis le launcher.
