cards were unable to start the game at all.
* Fri Mar 27 2026 Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 1.34.0

shadows are now also projected from animated models, not just
level geometry.

* Sun Jun 22 2025 Michael Pujos <pujos.michael@gmail.com>
- Update to version 1.32.3.1
* Fixes:
- revert sezero/quakespasm#124 causing crashes
- Update to version 1.32.3
* Fixes:
- sezero/quakespasm#124 : Physics/Lerp/Timing Bug Introduced in 0.85.5
- #792 : Detach worker threads
- #794 : Split update_lightmap shaders in two groups. Fixes rendering
issues on RasberryPi
- #795 : Crash in Image_LoadImage attempting to load skyboxes
Fixes the loading crash of Boss Faction
* Improvements:
- Added command line option : -pinnedworkers worker0, worker1, ...
to limit and pin the worker threads on particular cores.
Useful to get a nice a boost on P-Core / E-core architectures, when
limiting to E-cores AND pinning give interesting boost, because
apparently Win11 at least can't help migrating them all the time
everywhere.
Examples :
- -pinnedworkers 2,8,10,4,11 instantiates 5 workers, pinned on cores
2,8,10,4,11 respectively.
- On a i5-13500 made of 6x2 P-Cores (core 0-11) + 8 E-cores (cores 12-20)
the best perf in Windows 11 is indeed
- pinnedworkers 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 (leaving 1 free P-Core)
- General performance improvements for many-cores, probably only visible
on the few behemoth levels we all know of
- Other many-core performance improvements oriented to ARM targets
(Apple Sillicon, RasberryPi)
- Code cleanups
- Library updates, thanks to @sezero as usual
* Thu May 01 2025 Michael Pujos <pujos.michael@gmail.com>
- Update to version 1.32.2
* Fixes:
- #767 : Deactivate transparent surface optimization (r_drawwater_fast 0)
in order to fix non-water (lava, slime...etc.) transparency issues
on particular levels. This has no apparent performance impact so
r_drawwater_fast 0 is the default until a better solution arises
- #785: Dot crosshair enables player footstep sounds in Scourge of Armagon
- #787 : Added sv_fte_recursivehullckeck (default 1) to allow deactivation
of FTE physics optimizations, for some levels with bad item placement
(stuck in walls, falling through surfaces...etc)
* Improvements:
- #777 : MDL external skins support. (from QSS)
- This change brings vkQuake roughly at the level of QSS w.r.t external
textures support for BSP levels, BSP models, MDL & MD5 models
Other minor external textures support adjustments
- #784 : added DP_SV_NODRAWTOCLIENT and DP_SV_DRAWONLYTOCLIENT extensions. (from QSS)
- Added more Crosshair choices
- Added labels to Sliders (from QS). Added a Max FPS slider in particular
with a more natural scale
- Code cleanups
- Library updates
* Wed Mar 05 2025 Michael Pujos <pujos.michael@gmail.com>
- Update to version 1.32.1
* Fixes:
- #772: Performance regression when host_maxfps > 72 visible on
especially large levels (you know what they are)
- #764: Align modern hud closer to the remaster and render keys for
hipnotic as well
- #779: Erroneous assertion triggered
* Improvements:
- Boost fps on especially large levels by enabling sv_fastpushmove 1
by default. Can be disabled (0) at any time if something goes wrong
- #765: Standalone MD5 support. Mods can now use MD5 in QuakeC explicitly
as *.md5mesh the same way *.mdl was used before. The 2 types of models
can be mixed in the same progs.dat of course
- Code cleanups
- Library updates
* Sun Jan 12 2025 Michael Pujos <pujos.michael@gmail.com>
- Update to version 1.32.0
* Fixes:
- #755: A VERY important, long-standing bug in the GPU Memory
allocator fixed by @Novum, that could create all kinds of
graphics corruption and even random crashes

- #752, #761: MD5 models now manage 32bit textures correctly
for both skins and fullbrights
* Improvements:
- #753: Add external WAD, WAD3, and Half-life format support.
This great addition was brought by @Toodles2You, many thanks.
This feature was also added to Quakespasm !
- Removed most of the size limits for models, the one remaining
is a 32K limit on model vertices. (from Ironwail)
- Code cleanups
- Library updates
* Fri Nov 08 2024 Michael Pujos <pujos.michael@gmail.com>

- Library updates : vkQuake is now using mpg123 by default instead
of mad for mp3 support
* Fixes:
- #740: Fix broken saves in Mjolnir

were fine because mono-mesh, but other addons exist bringing multi-mesh
MD5 models
- Some smaller fixes here and there.
