## Version History:

Version 3.8c

- Added support for 9600 cards
- Updated overclocking files
- Some minor bug fixes

Version 3.8

- Added Force Pixel Shader version for DirectX
- Added Force Vertex Shader version for DirectX
- Some minor bug fixes
- R6Probe replaced with Probe

Version 3.7

- Added a number of new profiles and updated existing ones
- A new Reset profile saves the current settings at the time you installed Rage3D Tweak so you can easily revert to the settings you had before installing the tweaker
- Updated tweaks for full support of Catalyst 3.0 options
- New GUI updates include new buttons, support for nested tree-view for more useful tweaks organization and more
- Updated support for additional 9500/9700 boards as well as updates for older generation Radeon cards
- New overclocking files with better support for all ATI Radeon core based chips. (Mobility included)
- Added the ability to Export and Import profiles between R3DTweak versions now!
- Exported profiles go to a file format that is easy to pass between your friends as well as save your personal profiles for easy upgrading to new Rage3D Tweak versions. Simply double-click a profile file to import it back into the tweaker.
- Folding@Home support has returned to the tweaker! The F@H tab will now prompt you to download the client from the correct place and tell you where to put it for full support of running/hiding the console. Right-Click on the F@H tab window for menu options.
- Quite a lot of other under the hood enhancements to help prepare for the future.
- The setup program now auto-detects all Radeon cards and selects the correct tweaks for your card type. If you have more than one card listed in the registry it will prompt you for the card you are using now.
- The setup program now prompts you for the location you would like to install Rage3D Tweak. All files now go into this folder (except the overclocking files) instead of the various windows directories where most files did in former versions.
- You can now change skins without any need to install or reboot anything. An icon in the Rage3D Tweak program group allows you to change skins at will. Just close and open the tweaker after each skin change for it to take place.
- The Tweaker now uses a registry hive system which keeps all the extra tweak information from bloating your registry. The settings are only stored in the registry while the tweak interface is open and written out to a special file (and removed from the registry) after you close the tweaker interface.
- New GameUtil startup graphic thanks to Buddy.

Version 3.6

- Added Overclocking support for Radeon 9000 and 9700 based cards
- Changed a lot of back end setup of tweaker files

Version 3.5

- Added hotkeys to change a game or application process priority on the fly. Alt-P = High Priority; Alt-Shift-P = Low Priority; Alt-Cntrl-Shift-P = Normal Priority. You can change the hotkeys in the GameUtil Hotkeys category of the tweaks.
- Now supports fully user configurable sounds for GameUtil functions. By default Overclocking/Profile/Game functions have sounds in this version. You can add/remove/change any of the sounds simply by going to "Sounds" in the Control Panel and scrolling down to the GameUtil section.
- Added a Warcraft 3 profile.
- Removed the Clear D3D and Clear OGL profiles since they can now be cleared simply by right-clicking on the tweak category. Am working on some generic high-speed vs. high-quality profiles in the works for v3.6 as well.
- Added a "Defaults" right-click option to the Custom Display Modes tab for the custom modes category.
- Renamed the display modes displayed in the taskbar program.
- There's a new "GameUtil Extras" tweak category now, which contains tweaks for modifying how windows and desktop functions work. This includes a number of window manipulation tweaks useful to those with multiple-monitor setups.
- Added 2 new skins: a "Blank" skin for those that requested it, and a new Abstract skin which is looking really good.
- Implemented a number of under the hood enhancements for the added features.

Version 3.4

- Primarily a bug-fix update to v3.3.
- Resolves issue with the way the DALRestrictedModesBCD tweak works.
- Fixes bug with Single-User installation not reading notwithstanding and incompatibles entries correctly
- Adds new tweak to Advanced Tweaker Settings category called Ruan ATI SmartGart Utility. Selecting this tweak launches ATIs smartgart utility in the Catalyst drivers so you can see your AGP settings. (2x/4x/read/write etc.) Make sure your motherboard AGP drivers are correctly installed if you're getting grayed out settings in this tool.
- Moved defaults option to each category. Right-Click a tweaks category to reset defaults back to they way they were before you made your first changes. This option won't appear unless you've made any changes to the tweaks.
- Added a full-category registry clear option as well. Use the right-click menu to access this, but it will only appear if there are actually settings to clear.
- Modified tweaker control panel interface to work better with the arsed up size of the display properties tabs due to ATI's new D3D and OpenGL tabs.
- Replaced all skins with 3 new improved skins.
- Changed skins to only need one bitmap instead of two, so color sections of the tabs are now auto-scaled. (another fix to work better with ATI's arsed up tab sizes in the display properties)
- Updated Install and Uninstall GUIs to be more descriptive.
- As with version 3.3, this version is only for Catalyst display drivers, not older ATI driver sets. All future versions will no longer support pre-catalyst drivers. Use version 3.2 for full compatibility with pre-catalyst display drivers.

Version 3.3

- Rage3D Tweak version 3.3 is fully compatible with the ATI Catalyst Drivers (7.72 and above). Note, this means that it does NOT work with previous driver versions! You must use Rage3D Tweak version 3.2 for ATI drivers that came out before the Catalyst Drivers (7.70 or older).
- Added Mipmap Detail (TexLod) and Texture Preference (TexOpt) tweaks to D3D and OpenGL.
- Updated Smoothvision entries to support new Catalyst settings.
- Added PointParameters OpenGL tweak
- Updated all profiles for the new and modified tweaks.

- Added transparancy support to the taskbar tweaks interface
- Added new tab to run and hide the Folding@Home client and show some statistics on progress.
  - The FAH tab install creates a c:\folding directory and copies the client and pre-set config file there.
  - The client does not run at boot by default, but right-clicking the FAH tab will give you that option
  - You can edit the client.cfg file with your username if you wish to replace the default we've put there (rage3d tweak user).
  - You can install only the FAH tab if you don't want the other tweaker tabs
  - The FAH tab will never show up in the advanced display properties, only in the taskbar interface.
- Added some additional tweaks to the Advanced Tweaker Settings category to disable all tweaker tabs in the advanced display properties and run only from the taskbar interface or the reverse.

Version 3.1e

- Fixed a couple of minor OC bugs introduced in 3.1d.
- Fixed anisotropic tweak string problem.
- Fixed a half dozen minor bugs introduced with other fixes.

- Updated the Help files.

  - See the Custom Display Modes Help page for more information.
- New "DAL" tweaks section in the Rage3D Tweak tab adds the following tweaks:

  - GCORULE_RMXSupport = This setting Enables the "Scale image to panel size" button so that it will appear in the FPD (Flat Panel Display) section of "ATI Displays" in the advanced display properties. This option will scale resolutions lower than the maximum supported by a given flat-panel screen to be the full size of the screen instead being displayed in a smaller window. Changing this setting requires a reboot. (note: this won't do anything for you if you don't have a Flat Panel Display).
