Plugins

  • Plugins that could not start no longer flood the log. A plugin that failed to start was retried every second for the whole session, three log lines each time. Now it is tried once and reported once. It is tried again when its files or permissions change, or when whatever it was missing turns up. A plugin waiting for Deno starts as soon as Deno is installed, with no restart.
  • Installs that had Deno may have been told they did not. When Cordial ran plugins without an OS sandbox, which is always the case in the Flatpak, it looked for a deno command on the system path instead of the copy Cordial had downloaded, and then reported “Deno is not installed”. It now runs the copy it found. This was worked out from the code and a user’s log, and has not been confirmed in the Flatpak yet.
  • A plugin update that asks for permissions you never granted now stays stopped. Settings > Plugins shows “Update needs approval” with what it wants. It starts once you grant them. Before, it could restart on the old permission list.

Mouse acceleration applies to the camera by default

New profiles now apply your desktop’s mouse acceleration to the camera as well as the cursor. For raw camera movement, choose Only the cursor under Settings > “Use system mouse acceleration settings”. A profile that already saved that setting keeps its choice.

What is still broken

The signed-in startup freeze is not fixed. It still happens on some launches, in bursts. Resizing the window does not redraw the game until you stop dragging. The screen may still grey out when a text box takes focus in fullscreen (#53), and games that put the cursor in a text box for you may not accept typing. A game’s DF FastFlags, such as DFIntTaskSchedulerTargetFps, can reset partway through a session. Some games show the mobile (touch) interface. The cordial, cordial-bin and cordial-git packages on the AUR are not published by this project and are at 0.17.0. Use the release package or the signed pacman repository instead. Still open from earlier releases:
  • a crash after a second launch (#44);
  • a freeze and crash leaving fullscreen (#39);
  • a crash on first touch with a touchscreen (#36);
  • a crash on launch on some machines (#35);
  • no window on COSMIC, KWin or wlroots compositors (#38);
  • a hang on exit (#52);
  • pointer drift during camera drags on Hyprland (#56);
  • a rare crash just after startup (#63).
ARM64 builds are still untested on real hardware. VR is not supported.
