Version History

Version 1.23.4

Removed an assert when failing to create the occlusion query when using -testing.

Version 1.23.2

Made the locking of the render targets (only used when not using Direct3D 9) read only.

Version 1.23

• Added a description to this hack.
• Made this hack work differently (using an occlusion query instead of a lockable render target) when using Direct3D 9.
  • Also added a -noocclusion command line argument to opt out of this.
  • Also added a -occlusionsleep command line argument.

Version 1.20

• Made Lens Flares not get enqueued if their World Sphere is deactivated.
  • Also added the -deactivatedworldspherelensflares command line argument to suppress this behaviour.
  • This fixes an issue where deactivating a world sphere would not deactivate its lens flare.
