Fixed VS2022 compiler related issue, which caused crash during encoding video with NVENC or NV12 encoders in 64-bit applications. More details in this post.
- Fixed issue in asyncronous skin scaling implementation, which could cause deadlocked RTSS.exe to stay in memory after closing application with [x] button from skinned GUI when skin scaling was enabled.
- Added conditional layers support to OverlayEditor plugin. More details in these posts: #1, #2.
- Fixed status bar panes and hypertext debugger panel rendering in OverlayEditor for high DPI scaling modes.
- ReShade compatibility related D3D1xDevicePriority setting has been reverted to select old ascending D3D1x device selection priority by default. So it is no longer necessary to change this setting to unlock overlay support in D3D10 applications.
- OverlayEditor is no longer rendering the very first frame with no sensor data displayed, now it is always rendering the first frame after polling all data sources.
- OverlayEditor's %CPUShort% macro is additionally packing Ryzen CPU names now. "Ryzen N" name is packed to "RN", and "Ryzen Threadripper" is packed to "TR" with this macro.
- Now hypertext parser supports application specific embedded images. You may use this feature to display game specific logos in your overlay layouts. Sample.ovl layout included into distributive demonstrates this technique by displaying game specific logos for Escape From Tarkov, Forza Horizon 5 and Ratchet and Clank : Rift Apart.
- Now hypertext parser accepts both ANSI and UTF-8 encoded degree celsius symbol
- Added On-Screen Display profile for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and common techniqie aimed to improve stability in future applications using similar behaviors.
- Added PresentMon data provider to OverlayEditor. More details in these posts: #1, #2.
- Now OverlayEditor supports environment variables for overlay layout. The variables can be changed in Layouts -> Edit -> Environment variables field. Currently environment variables are used to tune advanced properties of PresentMon data provider. Power users may also use environment variables during development of complex overlay layouts with hardware depenent conditional layers (e.g. sample.ovl, which is displaying Intel or AMD logo depending on CPU vendor). In such usage scenario you may use overlay environment variables to emulate differrent hardware and test your overlay look on it (e.g. set environment variables to "cpuvendor=0x1022;cpucount=8;gpuvendor=0x1002" to emulate a system with 8 thread AMD CPU and AMD/ATI GPU on a PC with Intel CPU and NVIDIA GPU).
- Minimum refresh period for overlay layout is no longer limited by 100ms. Now you can decrease it down to 16ms. Please take a note that such low refresh period is intended to be used with PresentMon's data sources only. Use it with caution and avoid defining such low refresh period values for overlays using other types sources, which poll hardware on each refresh period and may decrease system performance due to such high polling rate.
- DesktopOverlayHost is now compiled as UIAccess process, which allows it to be displayed on top of most of modern fullscreen applications similar to xbox gamebar gadgets. You may use it to display mirrored overlay copy on top of applications like Destiny 2 and CSGO, which do not allow traditional hook based overlay rendering. More details in these posts: #1, #2, #3 and #4.
- Seriously revamped German localization by @Klaus Grosser. The next beta of MSI Afterburner will also contain revamped German localization updated by him
- Added experimental support for "Beta : Use Unicode UTF-8 for global language support" option enabled in administrative regional OS serttings. Now each localization descripton file contains addtional "Codepage" fileld, defining runtime ANSI to UTF8 conversion rule for selected language pack
- Added target process filtering support for debug logging system
- Updated profiles list
