v1b13

Hotfix release:

• fix C++ exceptions in Nvidia driver not being reported as crashes properly
• enhance crash reporter a bit

v1b12

Hotfix for 1b11 regressions:

• prevent showing "Failed mitigation" error for ProcessUserShadowStackPolicy if the CPU doesn't actually suport CET shadow stack
• fix the Titanfall_alt.exe alternative launcher not being updated by the installer, causing launch failure on 1b11

v1b11

This is still a beta version on beta channel, but now there's official installer download, so enjoy. Almost out, almost ready.

Changes:

• make the game follow the default sound output device automatically (such as when connecting a Bluetooth headset; might not always work due to some engine bug though and then you still gotta restart the game)
• add custom playlist player counts sourced from titanfall.p0358.net if the in-game counters are broken (the fallback BME counters are displayed in green, while original game ones from Stryder in amber)
• for switch-sides-based gamemodes, show in HUD whether you're playing first or second half
• allow replacing VPK files without making patched VPK files, by putting your modded files into r1_mod directory under your game installation dir
  • use concommand fs_replacements_cache_refresh to refresh the file list without restarting the game
• allow auto-saving of game scoreboards to JSON files after the match was concluded
  • use cvar bme_cl_save_scoreboards 1 to enable the feature
  • the files will be saved into <game dir>/bme/saved_scoreboards directory, with name in format like 2024-05-28_11_40_04-private_match-ctf-mp_relic-5v5.json (time is UTC)
  • you can enable automatic remote uploading of said files by bme_cl_save_scoreboards_upload_url <URL> to upload them to your custom endpoint via HTTP POST
• fix and improve updater
• some more security patches and various other small fixes/improvements

v1b10

This is still a beta version on beta channel, but now there's official installer download, so enjoy. Almost out, almost ready.
