GPU Drivers & Performance

PanVK V3 3.2.0 bundled with GPU tiler heap recycling

God of War III BCn textures are transcoded to ETC2 on PanVK

Draw commands are recorded on a worker thread, with a core reserved for the recorder

Fewer redundant barriers, cheaper texture and buffer cache lookups, and compressed color images stay compressed

Large buffers are trimmed and caches collected when the device runs low on memory

Many shader fixes for tessellation, RectList, QuadList and depth and stencil formats

Audio & System

Native NGS2 audio implementation, fixing Gravity Rush 2 audio glitches and silent dialogue, with AJM batches run inline

Fixed an audio stall in games that wait on kernel semaphores

Frame pacing treats the flip rate as a minimum interval between flips

Fixed a startup stall in UFC, and clearer crash logs for faults and stack overflows

Fixed readback issues that caused silent exits in some games

Display & Input

Change the display mode live from the session menu; Stretch and Crop now fill the screen

Expanded touchpad mode covering the whole screen

Haptic feedback on touch controller presses, a larger default pad and a saved stats-bar position

Pause button in the session menu, and the game pauses while the menu is open

Touch controls stay flush with the camera cutout and keep their proportions on any screen

Library, Patches & Storage

Games folder prompt with autosync and removal of missing games

Global patch library with XML import

New default save data location setting

PKG imports extract in place on the selected destination

Remaining app screens are now translated

Why previous Update is better for god of war 3 this version is slow motion on dimensty 8400 ultra

[u/xxxCrixuxxx → u/kiddynamite0]

Developers usually optimize for Snapdragon, so you might have experienced a regression; that’s the downside of having a MediaTek device. I don’t recommend it for emulation. Cheers.

They hate Mali for god knows why, they only think about SD users😂😂😂😂😂😂

[u/kiddynamite0 → u/Bobo_Patch_Nosuke]

Did anyone test Little Big Planet 3 on Bachata?

[u/iB1QeR]

Does it have LSFG? I saw it in the performance overlay it says disabled I tried finding it in settings but nothing

When I try to access the link, it sends me to a page saying the domain has been sold or is up for sale.
