Resonance Decade Update

In celebration of our ten year anniversary on Steam, we’ve pushed our longstanding public beta to mainline. This update includes substantial improvements including:

• Fixes to startup related crashes

• Fixes to physics engine related crashes

• Steam Deck Improvements

• Linux Improvements

Full patch notes:

• Relaxed triangle vertex validation in ToGL to accept structurally valid input even when geometry is ambiguous, resolving various graphical issues in Studio MDL models

• Resolved crashes in Hammer and HLMV when rendering high-quality models by increasing vertex buffer limits to match those defined in the original model format

• Resolved a crash that occurred during the mortar sequence at the end of the Gargantua chase in the Surface Tension chapter

• Fixed an issue where func_rotating entities would unexpectedly stop spinning after a certain amount of time on some maps

• Recompiled all weapon models using the updated Studio Model Compiler to prevent visual glitches caused by incorrect or outdated tangent data

• Updated bundled DXVK (Windows) to version 2.6.1

• Added support for models with a total vertex count exceeding 65535, lifting the previous global limit

• Added hit feedback sound effects during multiplayer combat

• Removed ALL false positive virus reports (according to VirusTotal)

• Refined conflict resolution logic for configuration overrides, especially when auto-configuration clashes with cloud-synced settings

• Shadow Quality Mode can now correctly be set to Ultra, without enabling unsupported features

• Updated bundled DXVK (Windows) to version 2.6

• Fixed secondary camera views rendering incorrectly on brush models

• Adjusted CSM depth bias to improve shadow precision on ToGL

• Enabled God Rays on ToGL

• Revised pickup and run mechanics for smoother player interaction

• Significantly improved ToGL binary shader cache, now enabled by default, resulting in faster load times after the first run

• Resolved Soft Particles rendering artifacts, which were especially noticeable on ToGL

• Fixed behavior of Environment Map Masks in ToGL, where all surfaces were forcibly marked as bump-mapped to reduce shader combinations and work around engine limitations

• Fixed auto-aim logic when the player is unarmed

• General auto-aim tweaks to improve accuracy and consistency

• Fixed certain 4-way blended materials appearing black in ToGL

• Completed a full validation pass to ensure all materials are well-formed and error-free within the Material System

• Reduced rendering path discrepancies between Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA for improved consistency across GPUs

• Added dismissable Rogue Point call to action at main menu

• Improved stability of the Hit Sounds system

• Fixed incorrectly displayed blinking overlays on brush models in ToGL

• Suppressed display of God Rays Disks appearing through walls in ToGL

• Bumped shader cache version for ToGL

• Added snd_mixahead to auto-config and updated auto-config version

• Linux build now uses stricter floating-point math for improved stability

• Improved IVP stability by introducing coordinate sanitization in key areas

• Fixed Hit Sound system functionality under the Old UI

• Fixed a regression affecting Model and Particle browsers in Hammer after the Secondary Camera fix

• Addressed display issues causing waterfall flickering in Xen

• Introduced a slight vertical offset on teleport to prevent instant ground collision

• Fixed a crash occurring in the Nihilanth encounter on Linux

• Improved overall performance on Linux, with noticeable gains in the Lambda Core teleport puzzle

• Introduced Vulkan layer exclusion rules to prevent certain startup crashes with DXVK

• StudioMDL now attempts to generate VTX files with legacy indexing for improved tool compatibility

• Prevented crashes in the New UI when encountering unusual server names

• Improved runtime stability by reviewing and fixing cases of unsafe use of short-lived data, including uninitialized variables affecting server-side ragdolls.

• Introduced force limit on gibs from
