Patch Notes

Update v1.0.8

Regular update with many small internal improvements:
  • Modified the displayed framerate calculation so it's more accurate and easier to read.
  • Should be consistent with what normally other tools display and players expect.
  • Improved GUI (de)activation responsiveness in games that spam Windows functions incorrectly (e.g. Mafia II remastered). Also works as an optimization for those games (run better once the GUI is activated for the first time).
  • Revamped window processing so it's more obvious where the tool is working. The GUI doesn't switch between windows automatically now unless users initiate it, and should make it more intuitive and reliable as nobody used that feature anyway.
  • Re-engineered thread handling to add support for arbitrary number of simultaneous threads with active windows and possibly different settings. Technically this is overkill as games only use one window, but it showcases the flexibility of the new internal processing and could be useful for other 3D applications.
  • Optimized CPU usage when GUI is active and mouse cursor is updated to avoid unnecessary processing.
  • Added extra checks to disable features safely in rare cases of abnormal termination conditions.

This should be the last update before a major version change which will include new technology currently being tested. For those interested in using it in multiplayer please indicate your favorites, so we get a better idea of the priorities…
