[h2]Changelog for Superfighters Deluxe 1.5.0 update preview[/h2]

[h3]✨ Updated requirements[/h3]
  • SFD is now 64 bit using FNA framework instead of XNA framework. SFD now requires:

    • 64 bit Windows.
    • DirectX 11 compatible graphics.
    • .NET Framework 4.7.2 (Included in Windows 11 and Windows 10 April 2018 Update. Older versions of Windows need to install .NET Framework 4.7.2 separately).

[h3]✨ New[/h3]
  • Online play updated to use Steamworks Networking.
  • As a result of the above changes:

    • Improved connectivity as a result of Steamworks Networking. SFD now relies on Steamworks Networking backend to list, discover and connect to hosted games and hosted servers.
    • Join a friend's game directly via your Steam's friend list and "Join game" feature.
    • Improved Gamepad support as a result of FNA framework and various bug fixes and improvements to Gamepad support. Most controllers now work out-of-the-box and can be plugged in anytime.
    • DirectX11 rendering which requires DirectX 11 compatible graphics.
    • Optional OpenGL rendering by adding ENV_FNA3D_FORCE_DRIVER=OpenGL to your config.ini file in your Documents/Superfighters Deluxe folder.
    • Resolutions beyond 2048x2048 now supported thanks to FNA framework.

      • Public games in the game browser show estimated ping using Steam functionality.

[h3]💻 ScriptAPI/Map Making[/h3]
  • IUser.ConnectionIP - Obsolete. This now returns a fake (generated) IP.
  • IUser.AccountID - Obsolete. This now returns a fake account ID. You can no longer read the user's AccountID via Scripts.
  • IUser.AccountName - Still returns the user's profile name in Steam (which can be changed).
  • Script Editor now has code highlighting.
  • Script Editor now has search and find functionality.
  • Added script API examples and tutorials available directly in the map Script Editor. (Previously available on MythoLogic Interactive's old forum.)
  • ElevatorHelper no longer plays the 'ding' sound the first 300 ms of map start to avoid the 'ding' sound playing when starting a map with elevators.

[h3]🛠️ Fixes and Improvements[/h3]
  • Pressing back in menus now navigates to the Back/Cancel/Exit button first before closing the menu.
  • Reduced resource usage for clothing items and better handling of texture usage related to items to reduce memory usage, cpu usage and potential stutter.
  • Fixed some issues when interacting with scroll bars in menues using only the mouse.
  • Fixed navigation issues in the profiles menu when using keyboard or gamepad.
  • Suppressed the "Can't find effect 'HIT'" message.
  • Other fixes, tweaks and improvements.
