Release notes for 1.141 December 1st, 2011
- Removed a bunch of old and unused DX9 clean-up code that
stopped the correct unhooking of functions in DX10/DX11. This resolved
some crashes that occurred in WoW and other games on exit when resources
were not correctly cleaned up.
- Added some new failsafe hooking checks and debug logging
to ensure that hooks do not get attempted until they have passed another
layer of sanity checks.
- Changed the hooks used for DX10 & DX11 to use
ResizeBuffers instead of ClearState. A large range of games called
ClearState many times per frame, which would result in a huge fps drop
because it would clear all devices and bitmaps and they would need to be
recreated every frame. Also ResizeBuffers is the new way in DX10/DX11 to
know when the screen size changes. Without this hook, newer DX11 games
were crashing on re-size or switching to Fullscreen mode.
- Added another layer of protection in the get screen size
function to stop crashes that occurred when resizing certain games.
- Fixed a memory leak where the DX10 sprite proxy was never
being cleaned up when exiting.
- Fixed an issue in DX10 where screenshots and video were
not displaying the XIG interface because the sprites were not correctly
getting flushed to the GPU.
- Fixed an issue where DX10 & DX11 games that used
multi-sampled (anti-aliasing) back buffer would always result in black
screenshots and video capture.
- Added full support for R10G10B10A2 back buffer format
which fixed black screenshots and video capturing for any games that use
that buffer format.
- Optimized the loop logic that grabs the pixels in the back
buffer for all buffer formats. This was needed because some games were
dropping to 15 fps (or less) when video capturing occurred.
- Changed the core DX11 render logic to use our own render
target view instead of depending on the the render target view the game
left us. This fixed a lot of games (Deus Ex, Dirt 3, Civ 5, etc) where the
XIG windows would not render at all because the render target views were
either cleared or left in an unusable state.
- Tweaked rendering support for: World of Warcraft, Bioshock
1 & 2, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Civilization 5, DiRT 3, Homefront,
Dragon Age II, Red Fraction: Guerrilla, Dungeons & Dragons Online
- Enabled auto-login by default
- Enabled Broadcasting by default
Release notes for 1.140 October 12th, 2011
- Improved client support for both DirectX
10 and 11
We are happy to share the latest release of the client
1.140 with you.
The focus of this release is to make in-game support improvements for DX10/11
games.
While we continue to test DX10/11 games, we are only supporting the renderer in
the following games for this release: World of Warcraft, The Lord of the Rings
Online, and Dragon Age II. We will be releasing weekly game support updates to
add DirectX capabilities with a larger number of games.
As always, thank you for your continued support!
The Xfire Game Masters send out game updates every week.
You can keep up with these weekly game releases over at our new blog!
