The foliage's sun shadows took most of the GPU time: one mesh draw shaded about 1,000 million fragments in the far cascade. The far cascade now shades them at a 2x2 rate, and the two far cascades drop one side of the double-sided cards. At the forest entrance the frame rate went from 18 to about 43 fps on an RX 7900 XT.
FSR 3.1, its frame generation and the console mode now take effect without a restart. The full performance overlay lists the settings shown in the options menu.
NX2NAVI_GPU_PASSES times each pass and counts its fragments, and NX2NAVI_SET_AT changes settings at a given frame for test runs. Both are off by default.

- A profile, save or account folder that is a junction or symbolic link (a profile moved to another drive and linked
back) stopped the start at "cannot create directory"; it is now taken as the folder. A save folder linked to
another drive than save-tx cannot take commits (a folder rename cannot cross drives); the log now says so instead
of blaming a file in use.
- A missing account.uid made a new account, and the save under the old account's folder was no longer found (a
profile copied without the file, or only its save folder put in place). When save/ holds exactly one account
folder, its account is taken. A file that is there but cannot be read now stops the start instead of being
replaced.
- WriteFile's check of offset plus size against the file size could wrap for a size near 2^64.
- The first save mount deletes the last session's working copy with the retries the start uses, so a scanner
holding a file there no longer stops the game.

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.

Each file that contains copied code names its copyright holder and license and points at THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md; zlib code keeps its full notice and the mark that it was altered. Comments and probe text only.

Comments say what the code does and why, docs/maxwell.md keeps the Maxwell facts, and fetch_refs.sh clones only the checkout the build reads. Code is unchanged.

The Screen tab hides Game resolution when the build has no output and scene patch sets, and the resolution code no
longer grows the memory pool for it. FSR sharpness now also runs when the game image is shrunk to the window, which is
always the case for Ocarina's 2560x1440 picture at 1920x1080, and the overlay drops NX2navi's fixed 3D scene size. A colour
profile set in nx2navi.ini now applies without the menu. The Game tab hides the frame limit in builds without frame-rate
patch sets and lists the game languages the RomFS ships, adding Polish and Brazilian Portuguese. 5.1 sound is reported to
the game's virtual output device. The remap page describes each button as Ocarina's controls screen does, gives each
D-pad direction its own description and drops NX2navi's shake row; the keyboard defaults follow Ocarina (Shift dashes on A,
Ctrl puts away on B, O and N for the ocarina and Navi, middle mouse resets the camera). docs/controls.md is updated.

The NVN2 front end and the SM86 to Maxwell shader lowering (tools/xlate/AmpereLowering.cs, mesh and task stages,
bindless texture pools, BRX jump tables, the NVN2 compute c0 layout) with four translator patches (0017-0020) bring the
opening of the game to 58-60 fps on the Vulkan renderer.
This round fixes the haze: SM86 IPA is lowered as a plain Maxwell IPA.PASS (texture coordinates were corrected for
perspective twice); LDSM, TXD, both F2IP byte forms, HMMA, MOVM and HFMA2.RELU are lowered and spill mode has eight
uniform register groups; conditional rendering keeps the newest counter report per address and treats a report as
pending until its value is in guest memory, so occlusion tests and the depth clears around the depth copy behave; and
the upscaler stand-in decodes the post pass's sRGB picture before writing the linear target. Tensor-core programs keep
the stand-in unless NX2NAVI_NATIVE_TENSOR=1, because their lowering does not match the hardware yet.
