v1.7.36 - Performance: no more lag with the launcher open
Some players reported stutter or lag while the rVclient launcher was open. This release removes the causes.
Game client (Client.dll)
- Fixed: a small stutter every 2 seconds while the launcher was open. The game re-scanned every audio device (mics and speakers) on its main thread every 2 seconds to report them to the launcher. With many audio devices (Bluetooth headsets, virtual audio drivers such as Sonar or Voicemeeter, monitor speakers) this cost several milliseconds per scan. Devices are now listed once when the launcher connects, and the regular update only sends settings that actually changed.
- Logging is now errors-only. The client used to write every diagnostic line to
RVClient_v1.log, which could reach a million lines and cost disk writes during play. Only errors and failures are written now. For troubleshooting, full logging can still be turned on by launching with-RVVerboseLog.
Launcher
- Fixed: the launcher getting slower the longer it stayed open. Each visit to Settings left extra background listeners running, so the launcher did more work every few seconds the more you used it. They are now cleaned up when you leave the page.
- Fixed: the mic/speaker dropdowns resetting by themselves while open.
- Smoother launcher UI: the "is the game running" check no longer runs on the UI thread and uses one process scan instead of up to four.
Includes everything from v1.7.35: Safe Mode launch, the Play sign-in fix, native matchmaking, voice chat, Discord Rich Presence and choosing your own username.
