  • Laser micro success/failure computation fix.
  • Benchmark mode (see instructions in readme file).

Minor Graphic-Related Fixes
  • RenderingModeNormal.cpp: Fix Radeon 9700 rendering issue with double sided reflective transparent surfaces.
  • ETexSFX.utx: Fix "static wall/floor fire" texture issue + water quality issue.
  • UnShadowProjector.cpp: Fix visibility issue with dynamic actor being clipped by the visibility engine and still being rendered because of the static shadow texture cache.
  • Massive performance improvement on shadow filtering by removing 5 passes from the filtering algorithm.
  • ETexEGO.utx: Fix reflection issue on moving vehicles in Chinese 2 (Feirong limo and Unimog truck).
  • 0_0_2_Training.scl: Fix projector not associated to light gameplay object and causing detection (lightmeter) in the first gun trial.
  • EButterfly.uc: Butterfly is now a soft body actor to disable the static shadow texture cache when a butterfly is in a projector range.

  • UnRenderVisibility.cpp: Software light beam rendering is now used by any card unable to render the shadow buffer algorithm to allow for the GF2MaxDistance parameter to take effect.
  • Most maps: General design quality improvement with shadows.
  • Kalinatek: Improved stability with low-end configurations.
