- A pchtxt file's build id is read as tools/exefs_patches.py reads it: after a UTF-8 BOM and blanks, the last
@nsobid line before @stop, a // comment after it left out. A file saved with a BOM or an indented line was taken for
another game version although the setup had built it into the game.
- A symbolic link or junction to a folder in mods/ is a mod, as the setup's tools see it; it was left out, so the
patch sets built for it were never switched on.
- A relative mods_dir is under the game's folder, not the folder the game was started from.
- A mods folder that cannot be listed is logged instead of showing no mods without a word.
- The start state of a mod's switch moves with the mod when the list is reordered, so the ExeFS patches waiting for
the rebuild are counted for the right mods.
--probe-mods checks each of these.

The runtime, the setup's cheat and ExeFS patch tools and the old installer named them after another game's title id, so
a mod laid out as atmosphere/contents/<title id>/romfs (or contents/<title id>, <title id>) was listed as empty.

Shaders: a switch whose index is clamped against a register that a MOV of an immediate set before it now finds its
jump table (AmpereLowering.cs BrxTargets), so all 36,031 of the game's shader variants translate and no draw is skipped
for a failed one. The compare-and-swap loop behind storage-buffer atomics (patch 0033) takes the value a failed swap
returns as its next expected value instead of loading the word again, which on some drivers kept returning a stale
copy.
Memory: an unused physical pool outlives the submission being recorded, as virtual pages may still reach it through
device addresses; an image whose creation failed is not tried again for 2 s.
The installer and Linux texts name this game.
The README has the project icon, the current status, features, requirements and known issues.
