Config presets now run after the toml loads: the ac6_fix_* switches and
their scale gates finally honor user settings. The settings save persists
only user-set values, with toml escaping - no leaked presets, and a saved
Windows path can no longer void the whole config. Runtime-forced values
(performance mode) can no longer overwrite the user's saved choices.
Menu: wrapped tooltips, "(set by <cvar>)" on driven entries, a developer
toggle; AC6-added cvars grouped under the AC6 node as AC6/Fixes and
AC6/Enhancements, with true restart/live lifecycles.
The cutscene DoF chain is authored for the 640×360 guest grid; at render scale > 1 its guest-granular blur kernels alias against host-granular content, visible as streaks and ghost outlines. Fix: snap the two CoC pre-blur passes to guest texel centers and densify the two 13-tap gather passes per axis. Hash-allowlisted, behind ac6_fix_dof (on), inert at 1x.
Guest swap thread blocks on real GPU delivery (NotifyGuestPresent feeds the delivery counter) + an absolute-deadline limiter at ac6_fps_target, not the vblank grid (no sub-harmonic staircase). dt-snap locks the sim delta to the exact target at steady rate (kills the shake). Guest vblank forced to free-run during gameplay so pacing needs zero config. ac6_unlock_fps is the single master switch, ON by default (folded in timing-hooks/vblank-auto/delta-precision/dt-snap-tolerance AND the flight-model framerate-independence fix).
Upscale mosaic. At draw-resolution scale > 1, AC6's deferred
EDRAM restore passes do integer pixel-address math on the PsParamGen
position. Its leftover sub-guest-pixel fraction scrambles into an 8x8
mosaic. Floor the param-gen position (param_gen_integer_guest_position)
and re-add the host sub-pixel at the fetch (param_gen_host_subpixel_restore).
Inert at 1x.
De-swizzle scramble. Some AC6 restore/resample passes
manually de-swizzle the Xenos EDRAM sub-tile layout of their source, which
is only correct on tiled data. The emulator detiles everything to linear,
so the de-swizzle always scrambles, streaking the cloud/effects pipeline.
For allowlisted shader hashes (ac6_neutralize_deswizzle_hashes) the sample
coordinate is replaced with the identity host-texel UV (a 1:1 copy).
Suspend the FPS unlock while a demo-manager Exec (DD sub_82184460 / EM sub_821856F8) ticks, so the frame-locked IngameCinematics Sequencer plays at native ~30fps instead of double speed. Adds ac6_cutscene_clamp CVar (default on).
