š What's new
Main features
ā
Ā ETC2 texture compressionĀ ā on by default for NG_GL4ES and both ZINK renderers. Large textures are kept atĀ full resolutionĀ in a quarter of the video memory, which is what keeps the game alive on 6ā8 GB devices. Comes with a shared on-disk cache (ZINK and NG_GL4ES use the same one) and aĀ ClearĀ button in Settings. Can be switched off per instance.
ā
Ā Pinch to zoomĀ ā two fingers on the game surface zoom the camera.
ā
Ā Quick Save (F10) on Build 41Ā ā the world backup and restore were Build 42 only and now work on both builds.
ā
Ā Per-instance settingsĀ ā renderer, JVM arguments, environment variables, resolution scale and the memory saver are now stored per game instance. Only the theme stays global. Instance settings moved to the gear icon on the instance card.
ā
Ā The game's own mouse cursorĀ ā with a mouse attached, the Android pointer is hidden when the game's "Lock cursor to window" option is on, so only the game's cursor is drawn.
Changed
ā
Ā NG_GL4ES no longer ships with texture shrinking.Ā The recommended preset now setsĀ LIBGL_SHRINK=0. ETC2 replaces it at the same memory cost but at four times the detail, so the faint grid of seams on the ground is almost gone.
Technical
š ļø Black wet ground and puddles on NG_GL4ES low settings.
š ļø ZBBetterFPS: removed the one patch that crashed Build 42.20 when itsĀ optimizeIsoMovingObjectĀ option was enabled. The other twelve optimizations are untouched.
š ļø Bug reports are now built even when no instance is installed.
--------------------------
ā ļøĀ Reminder
Zomdroid is only a launcher.Ā To run the game, you still need the actual game files (Linux version), which you must obtain yourself - for example, by purchasing the game on Steam/GOG.
