The first hotfix for SilentPatch for the Grand Theft Auto games is now out. Includes a few new fixes, but most importantly, multiple fixes for regressions introduced in this update, and compatibility improvements with other mods and game versions.
New fixes
- (GTA SA): Hydra’s jet thrusters no longer randomly fail to appear (contributed by B1ack_Wh1te).
- (GTA III, GTA VC): The inner padding of the text boxes with a background now scales to resolution correctly. Build 33 introduced this fix in San Andreas, now it has been ported to the other two games too.
- (GTA VC): The vertical offset of the weapon name text in Ammu-Nation now scales to resolution correctly.
- (GTA VC): The downward-pointing destination blip in the Map Legend now displays with a correct outline.
- (GTA VC): Several more models have been added to the
DrawBackfacesexclusion list. - (GTA III): The position of the dialog question text in the main menu now scales to resolution correctly.
Regression and mod compatibility fixes
- (GTA SA): Fixed a crash with the 1.0 EU executable when the resolution picker dialog was about to appear.
- (GTA SA): Fixed a crash when Renderhook was installed and the resolution picker dialog was about to appear.
- (GTA SA): Fixed the game losing keyboard focus if the resolution picker dialog was skipped.
- (GTA SA): The gamepad crosshair now also scales to resolution when aiming with melee weapons, not only guns.
- (GTA SA): Custom license plates no longer break if SilentPatch is installed through Modloader.
- (GTA SA): Map menu cursor no longer fails to reach the map edges when Widescreen HOR+ Support is installed.
- (GTA SA): Help text boxes no longer crash the game when Widescreen HOR+ Support is installed.
- (GTA SA): Wheels detaching from cars during explosions are now visible again.
- (GTA SA): “Burn And Lap” and “Cone Coil” driving school tests no longer leave several cones at the school yard.
- (GTA VC): Stallion’s leather roof is no longer shiny if a stock car rendering pipeline is used (i.e. SkyGfx is not in use).
- (GTA VC): plugin-sdk is now aware of the radar placement changes made by SilentPatch. This fixes incompatibilities with Interactive Pause Menu Map and the GPS Mod.
- (GTA III): SilentPatch now loads correctly when GPS Mod is installed.
