v1.0.8 Update

XeGrader plus · published 24 Jul 2026, 04:42 UTC · build 24366094

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

XeGrader plus has been updated to v1.0.8. While this is a minor version update, many internal systems have been significantly revised.


Changes

  • Significantly reduced memory usage

  • Added new launch options

  • Changed the Windows rendering driver to Direct3D 12

  • Updated the behavior of the POD item

  • Fixed numerous bugs


New Launch Options

--vsync=on

--vsync=off

Enables or disables vertical synchronization. The default is --vsync=on.


--rendering-driver d3d12

--rendering-driver vulkan

Selects the rendering driver. The default is d3d12.


With these changes, the issue where the player and enemy sprites could appear slightly shifted horizontally during gameplay appears to have been resolved. I have not been able to reproduce this issue in my own environment, so I have not been able to verify the fix directly. Please keep this in mind.

Also, due to the changes to the POD item's behavior, EXPERT difficulty may now be slightly easier than before.

Thank you for your continued support of XeGrader plus.
