Migration guide

1.18.0

  • In previous versions the LibraryParams::AllowMultipleRenderingThreads was always enabled, now it’ll be off by default. From 1.18.0 the option must be enabled during Library initialization if the game engine has multiple rendering threads to disable incorrect asserts.

1.18.2.8

  • The PS4 and PS5 shaders have to be compiled with the -indirect-draw flag as Renoir now uses features that require it. The command line options can be passed both to orbis-wave-psslc.exe and prospero-wave-psslc.exe shader compilers.
  • There is a new field in the renoir::RendererCaps structure - SupportsSharedIndexBuffers. The field indicates whether the backend supports using the same index buffer with multiple vertex buffers. In almost all cases this is true, but the Unity C# backend does not support this.
