The Order: 1886 PC compatibility project

Main Maintainer: DivinusX (https://github.com/DivinusX) — owns this fork, runs the
hardware verification, ships the releases, and funds the work.

This project reuses infrastructure from FelipePrado0/gow3_pc
(https://github.com/FelipePrado0/gow3_pc), licensed under GPL-2.0-or-later.
It includes components derived from shadPS4
(https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadPS4). Preserve the accompanying LICENSE
and the applicable source and dependency notices when redistributing.

These credits identify the origin of reused software. They do not establish
compatibility, endorsement, or ownership of The Order: 1886 game content.
The portable package excludes game executables, archives and player saves.
It includes the launcher wallpaper supplied by the user on 2026-10-17 as
2354440.jpg (launcher-art.jpg); its rights remain with the respective owners.
The asset provenance and SHA256 are in launcher/order1886/launcher-art.txt.
Official horizontal/stacked game logos and the app emblem were supplied by
the user on the same date. Their unmodified PNG hashes and source filenames
are in launcher/order1886/BRANDING.txt. Executable/window icons are format
conversions of the supplied emblem. These images retain their owners' rights.

The five-page desktop launcher structure (Home, Graphics, Performance, Game,
Advanced), sidebar navigation, scrollable pages and persistent launch controls
are adapted from mateussmeneses/theorder1886-port, launcher/port_launcher_win.py,
commit 7822ee56c2169f15ecde5d80f39e96143a252464 (GPL-2.0-or-later):
https://github.com/mateussmeneses/theorder1886-port
The adaptation uses this project's own settings, session worker and runtime ABI.

Renderer fixes come from TOport by Igor Augusto (GPL-2.0):
memory-table SRW lock (a15cf8b), deferred readbacks (32efe96, e03c9e9),
draw-pipe drain (888c546, 5534ce9), redraw depth bias (6bbcc57) and the
diagnosis that HTILE reads see every tile as cleared (94e3c22, dfc66af):

The optional experimental timing recipe derives from illusion's published
The Order 1886 patch in PS-Game-Patch, commit
3ad781ad8748139d2ca5e6c3b018d0063b8aa1a3:
https://github.com/illusionyy/PS-Game-Patch/blob/3ad781ad8748139d2ca5e6c3b018d0063b8aa1a3/patches/xml/TheOrder1886-Orbis.xml
That source declares app version 01.02 and warns of QTE softlocks in Chapters
6 and 9. This project's opt-in recipe separately verifies the exact current
executable hashes and instruction before changing a derived prepared image.
It does not modify original game files or establish stable 60 FPS gameplay.
