v0.8.8

What's Changed

Force 4K Movies

• Added option to force 4K movies.

Thanks to this tweet for pointing out that the game actually had 4K video files but just didn't show them. This inspired me to look further and see that the game does actually have functionality for serving up 4K video assets but only if your vertical resolution is higher than 2000. Patching out this check allows 4K video assets to be displayed at any resolution.

🚩This build was updated at 02:30 UTC 16/06/24 to fix a bug with the intro skip functionality.

• Added Gen5 TAAU(r.TemporalAA.Algorithm 1) option to the "Enable TAA" section. This produces better image quality but has a performance hit. #5
