| 3.2) Highlights of this release |
| ------------------------------- |
| Compared to previous release (HRP v4), you can expect the following changes: |
| |
| > Full Polymer lighting support (with maphacks) |
| > Polymer support for many textures (normal/specular mapping) |
| > Polymer support for HUD weapons: Chaingun, RPG, Devastator |
| > Increased resolution for several textures and model skins (beyond standard 512x512 HRP res) |
| > New model for Lunar Overlord (ep.2 boss) |
| > Improvements to the ingame menu (new font, some new screens) |
| > Hundreds of new textures, dozens of new models - overall HRP size increased from 285 MB to over 550+ MB! |
| |
| IMPORTANT! |
| ---------- |
| Please note that all HRP v5 contents has been optimized for usage with Polymer renderer. |
| This means that if you use the older Polymost renderer, you WILL encounter problems (HUD |
| weapons rendered incorrectly or other display glitches). Polymer requirements offer advanced |
| graphics effects but demand much better hardware. If you are forced to use Polymost due to |
| having a weaker machine, you have to download a different HRP build! |

| 3.2) Known issues |
| 3.3) Known issues |
| ----------------- |
| Although we tried hard to eliminate or avoid any glitches, unfortunately |
| some of them could not be removed in this release. Here are those we know of: |
| |
| - Current EDuke32 problems (might get fixed in future versions): |
| > At the end of episodes 1-3, you will not see the end screen after the |
| cinematic. Instead, only a black screen will show up. |
| > The startup/loading screens are not optimized for widescreen resolutions |
| and might show black stripes on both sides and possibly some distortions, |
| depending on your display. |
| |
| - Rarely you will still find props, pickup weapons or the like that are |
| clipping into walls, often preventing you from seeing them completely. |
| Maphacks can fix these glitches, so don't hesitate to report anything you |

| 3.5) EDuke32 port |
| ----------------- |
| The EDuke32 port is an enhanced version of JonoF's initial JFDuke3D port and |
| features enhanced mod support together with tons of newly-added code. It is |
| released and maintained by TerminX. |
| For the time being, we recommend using EDuke32 for running HRP because the port |
| gets updated much more often and HRP content has been optimized for it. |
