    Slipstream Beta 1.3.0.12 -- v1.3.0-beta.12 (4e99e4307b).

    Ubuntu 24.04+ / Debian 13+ / Mint 22+: *_amd64.deb (sudo apt install ./)
    Windows x64 (unsigned; SmartScreen: More info > Run anyway): *_Setup.exe installer, or *_win64.zip to unpack anywhere

    Changes since v1.3.0-beta.11.

    Fixes

    • Fixes #785 (quick patch; AO rework on the LSL bridge later) (49495d7978)
    • Fixes #787 (d91e91dca8)
    • Deferred G-buffer: mask legacy glow by texture / material alpha like the forward path (329223f9f9)
    • Rigged weld no-op: decided on the blend result (covers hard edges between coincident meshes) (71d0423326)
    • Rigged weld resolve: legacy mode 1's one-partner rule on the cluster path; no-op on seamless pairs (c74275a380)
    • Cluster LOD: rigged DAGs built from the highest creator LOD; clean upgrade swap; source-LOD stats (250c4f1e0f)
    • Cluster LOD weld: pair at the avatar's rest pose (legacy mode 1), shared pairing code (7311c41699)
    • Cluster LOD weld seams: re-skin a held row whole for a stale kept slot; seam diagnostics (82a7f748ce)
    • Default SLWalkBackwardsFacingForward to off (0e517cac23)
    • Setting specialization, renderer: spec sets, background apply, LRU, cache fixes (8c11e9dfbf)
    • Bug report: keep long timing/renderer log lines whole (525c23727a)

    Other changes

    • RT sun shadows: away-facing single-sided avatar blend faces pass at any alpha (4e99e4307b)
    • RT sun shadows: shadow-map facing parity for rigged meshes and worn attachments (b05ae56b15)
    • VK AO: remove the legacy GTAO-only half-res path (RenderVKGTAOHalfRes); RenderVKAOHalfRes covers both methods (4bae1f3be4)
    • LSL bridge: 'helper can't be taken off' notice only for an explicit Take Off, not outfit changes (7b9bfb24e4)
    • VK AO: half-resolution AO + depth-aware upsample in every consumer (1f30198af7)
    • VK async: deferred lighting on the async queue by default with a dedicated compute family (3acef0c262)
    • VK: depth-only pre-pass in deferred frames, AO from the G-buffer; slim normal / motion pre-pass VS (7d87d18038)
    • Cluster LOD RAM: free cluster-owned rigged CPU mirrors once their DAG is on disk (6081a6c3c3)
    • Cluster weld diagnostics: RenderVKClusterDebug 6 weld view + a one-shot weld probe (7d49ebf9d1)
    • VK split lighting: forward alpha reuses the shadow pass's visibility on coplanar faces (2e8c2e3b07)
    • VK split lighting: half-resolution reflections with a full-res sharp pass (acd6ff12b6)
    • VK split lighting: per-pass image access + combine projector-id reuse (3c965f6c1a)
    • VK: split deferred lighting is the default; remove the auto A/B mode (6b27a9528f)
    • Pipeline compiles: background std::async creates go through the compile budget (fbaf8af574)
    • VK: pipelinesPending doc -- the login gate ORs in the other gate jobs (78a336d379)
    • VK: first-use pipelines off the render thread + login shader gate (08f06ca695)
    • VK flexi: worn flexi chains are bounded at their world pose, not attach-relative (e4dae30a29)
    • VKSpec: one wide batch per key (compute included), plain-first then ray-query phase, priority lanes, throttled prewarm (6bdc9153ef)
    • VK pipelines: priority + process-wide compile limit, compute in batches, gate counters, straggler log, #782 compile breadcrumb (d17288807b)
    • Setting specialization: truthful fallback status, evict on READY, rate-limit the notice (1e6382aa53)
    • Split lighting intermediates: alias only below render scale 1 (8c8e41312c)
    • Setting specialization, shaders: graphics settings as spec constants 8-17 (3fbb1e2491)
    • Split deferred lighting: shrink the intermediates 24 -> 16 B/px, alias them (18829691c2)
    • Deferred lighting split, renderer: lazy split pipelines + intermediates, auto A/B (759409bf8b)
    • Deferred lighting split, shaders: shadow / reflection resolve + combine builds (41494c77ad)
    • Lit shaders: keep run-time-indexed private arrays out of local memory (11334ebc59)
    • VK: position-only vertex shaders for the depth-only passes (RenderVKDepthOnlyVS) (9942315459)
    • Sun shadows: per-cascade dynamic-caster cull + staggered far-cascade overlay (15cec086d2)
    • Probe texel guard: clamp-level exemption only for BC6H store trips (477ad7e6f1)
    • Probe texel guard: attribute probe lit-guard trips to a slot/store, self-heal slots (df341472ad)
    • Probe encode barrier: make BC6H probe writes visible to compute (59208b3784)
    • Regenerate world SPIR-V after perf cleanup merge (c03280a4e0)
    • VK: per-pipeline executable statistics (RenderVKPipelineStats) (c7331f4cbd)
    • VK: deferred lighting no longer needs SSAO / TAA / the RT mask (eff72445ab)
    • VK lit: debug paths behind a specialization constant (kDebugViews) (e7b9a07b5b)
