Changelog

1.2.4

• Increased automatic profile-log retention from 10 to 20 reports.
• Refined the package description around faster startup, reliable world joins, and built-in profiling.

1.2.3

• Reworked the README into a shorter installation, configuration, compatibility, and report-reading guide.
• Retained both the Start To Lobby and Lobby To World report examples.
• Removed the remaining legacy-key guidance and retired internal identifier; the runtime and config schema are current-only.

1.2.2

• Added explicit manual overlap guidance to the three acceleration/protection config descriptions and the README.
• Documents which LoadTimeProfiler setting to disable when StartupAccelerator, LocalizationCache, or TimeoutLimit is installed.
• Keeps configuration authoritative: no runtime scan for these conflicting mods, automatic feature override, or additional config option was added.

1.2.1

• Simplified profile reports to measured loading and connection timings plus actionable compatibility warnings.
• Removed acceleration, localization-cache, config-write, and timeout-protection installation status, hit counters, and internal processing-time sections because they do not measure end-to-end time saved.
• Removed all legacy configuration migration and legacy-mod detection/bypass paths. Only the four current General settings are read; legacy keys are ignored.

1.2.0

• Replaced the single General.Enabled master switch with independent profiling, localization-cache, config-write-coalescing, and timeout-protection settings.
• Profiling can now be disabled without disabling startup acceleration or connection protection; no report files or profiling-only runtime hooks are created in that mode.
• Changed the default timeout floor from 90 to 120 seconds, made it configurable through General.TimeoutProtectionSeconds, and uses 0 to disable protection while preserving longer original limits.
• Added safe migration from General.Enabled and older per-feature settings, including preservation of the previous all-disabled state.
• Keeps only the minimal plugin-discovery and startup-completion hooks required by external localization caching when profiling is disabled.

1.1.13

• Removed the Jotunn localization producer adapter after its pre-Awake Harmony preparation was found to initialize LocalizationManager before Jotunn.Main.Instance existed.
• Keeps Jotunn localization entirely on its original path while retaining the successfully exercised vanilla CSV, canonical LocalizationManager.Localizer, and manager-library LocalizeKey caches.
• Prevents the resulting Jotunn TypeInitializationException cascade into dependent mods such as VNEI, STUWard, and content registrations.

1.1.12

• Extended startup localization acceleration to repeatedly invoked, canonical LocalizationManager.Localizer, Jotunn, and manager-library LocalizeKey producers.
• Requires exact identities, method signatures, semantic fields, validated IL call flow, and actual Harmony callback registration; obfuscated AzuAntiCheat localization and stateful/side-effect variants stay on their original paths.
• Added per-adapter fail-open isolation, mutation invalidation, exception-safe startup lifetime cleanup, cache-release on lobby arrival, and adapter installation/hit diagnostics.

1.1.11

• Removed the experimental ObjectDB.Awake and ZNetScene.Awake Harmony wrapper batching after warm comparisons showed only a small end-to-end startup improvement.
• Restored immediate Harmony wrapper rebuild semantics and removed every PatchFunctions.UpdateWrapper hook, flush path, statistic, and report entry.
• Retains the localization cache, automatic config-write coalescing, profiling, and fixed 90-second connection-timeout protection.

1.1.10

• Removed global PatchFunctions.UpdateWrapper timing, per-target dictionaries, physical-rebuild statistics, and the startup-only UpdateWrapper finalizer.
• Retains exact ObjectDB.Awake and ZNetScene.Awake batching through a minimal prefix-only path; non-target requests now perform only fast target checks before continuing normally.
• Keeps structural Harmony validation, first-rebuild materialization, exception-safe final flush, compatibility fallback, and concise exact-target flush diagnostics.

1.1.9

• Added structurally verified, Chainloader-scoped Harmony wrapper batching for only the exact parameterless ObjectDB.Awake and ZNetScene.Awake targets.
• Added PatchFunctions.UpdateWrapper request, physical rebuild, avoided rebuild, target, and final flush diagnostics to the startup report.
• Keeps the first rebuild for each exact target, every other Harmony target, and every background-thread patch request on its original immediate path; adds no configuration option and removes the diagnostic hook when Chainloader finishes.

1.1.8

• Removed the exact-version AzuAntiCheat same-launch prehash integration, its background worker, and its report section.
• Restores AzuAntiCheat's original synchronous hash path while retaining normal plugin timing and the minimal 90-second AzuAntiCheat send-queue protection.

1.1.7

• Removed the observation-only FastAssetBundleLoader hash diagnostic and both of its Harmony hooks after confirming that the loader and its cache are effective independently.
• Keeps FastAssetBundleLoader behavior untouched and retains the AzuAntiCheat same-launch asynchronous prehash.

1.1.6

• Removed the 1.1.5 per-callback FejdStartup.Awake instrumentation after its Harmony detours could trigger a native Mono crash immediately after BepInEx chainloader startup.
• Retains the safe inclusive FejdStartup.Awake lifecycle timing and the 1.1.5 AzuAntiCheat prehash and FastAssetBundleLoader hash diagnostics.

1.1.5

• Added an exact-version AzuAntiCheat 4.3.11 integration that starts same-launch per-plugin SHA-256 work on one below-normal background worker while BepInEx continues loading plugins.
• Revalidates file identity before consuming a prehash and uses a fresh synchronous streaming hash on any missing, changed, or failed result; no persistent digest cache is trusted.
• Added narrowly scoped per-mod Harmony callback attribution for FejdStartup.Awake, with preparation and runtime bookkeeping cost reported separately.
• Added diagnostic timing for only FastAssetBundleLoader's original-source hash inside TryUseCachedBundle(Stream), excluding cache-output verification hashes.
• Keeps all three additions behind the existing General.Enabled master switch with no new configuration options.

1.1.4

• Removed the recent spawn-readiness, per-prefab ZDO, CreateObject, zone-loading hold, Jotunn source-hint, and minimap diagnostic hooks.
• Retains the coarse Game.RequestRespawn to Game.SpawnPlayer lifecycle interval, normal/failure connection outcomes, major world-loading stages, and per-mod ObjectDB.Awake/ZNetScene.Awake attribution.
• Keeps completed connection report formatting deferred until after SpawnPlayer returns.

1.1.3

• Added Game.UpdateRespawn and FindSpawnPoint activation fallbacks so Unity string-based respawn invocation cannot leave spawn-readiness diagnostics empty.
• Added final-target 3x3 ZDO attribution by prefab, including final known counts, a separate transient peak-missing backlog table with sampled first/last/clear observations, approximate inclusive CreateObject time, and registered-instance outcomes.
• Adds best-effort Jotunn source metadata or clearly labeled component-presence hints without enabling Jotunn's startup-costly global ModQuery collection.
• Added bounded SetLoadingInZone/UnsetLoadingInZone diagnostics, split into center-zone direct blockers and 3x3 instance-order candidates clipped to the final spawn attempt's relevant time windows, with the ordering start broadened to cover active-area sampling delay.
• Keeps the new diagnostics observation-only and behind the existing single master switch, with no new configuration options.
• Separately reports measured in-path diagnostic work and defers post-endpoint connection-report assembly through BepInEx's persistent main-thread queue until after SpawnPlayer returns, with a generation guard against mixing a newer session's detail.

1.1.2

• Added observation-only spawn-readiness diagnostics for the interval between _RequestRespawn activation and SpawnPlayer, plus connection-wide minimap call timing.
• Separately reports the built-in logout/custom-spawn gate, target-zone readiness, active-area readiness, and IsAreaReady completion.
• Samples known 3x3 spawn-sector ZDO totals and uninstantiated valid objects periodically at no more than 1 Hz, plus a terminal readiness sample, without changing loading behavior.
• Reports minimap cache hits, misses, and inclusive GenerateWorldMap call time relative to respawn activation so map regeneration can be distinguished from spawn-area loading.
• Keeps the diagnostics always on with the existing master switch, buffers samples in memory without per-sample disk writes, and reports a lower bound for measured diagnostic work.

1.1.1

• Replaced the per-feature settings with one General.Enabled master switch and automatically removes the retired settings from existing config files.
• Replaced exhaustive connection compatibility analysis with a minimal fixed 90-second floor for vanilla ZRpc, Jotunn, and known ServerSync/AzuAntiCheat send queues.
• Preserves timeout values already longer than 90 seconds and leaves fragment-cache lifetimes unchanged.
• Removed experimental Harmony wrapper rebuild batching and connection-time fragment patching.
• Added event-based connection outcomes that separately report normal connection time, first failure-decision time, and return-to-lobby/error-display time without per-frame polling.
• Starts connection timing only after TransitionToMainScene accepts the transition, and distinguishes a benign lobby return from ServerSync/AzuAntiCheat failures that set their terminal status after Game.Logout.

1.1.0

• Added safe localization CSV acceleration that replays captured AddWord sequences into Valheim's existing translation dictionary and keeps other mods' prefix/postfix callbacks active.
• Added Chainloader-scoped automatic config-save coalescing without changing a plugin's SaveOnConfigSet policy or delaying explicit Save() calls.
• Added opt-in Harmony wrapper rebuild batching. It remains disabled by default because mods that use a patch immediately after installing it can be incompatible.
• Added a structurally verified connection-stability layer for vanilla ZRpc, Jotunn CustomRPC, embedded/standalone ServerSync copies, and obfuscated AzuAntiCheat queue waits.
• Extended compatible fragment receive-cache lifetimes together with queue timeouts to reduce the risk of the original 60-second cache expiring during a slow fragmented transfer.
• Added acceleration and stability diagnostics to both Start To Lobby and Lobby To World reports.
• Added decompiled compatibility references and a detailed integration analysis for Jotunn 2.29.2, AzuAntiCheat 4.3.11, and the supplied ServerSync build.

1.0.1

• Fixed dedicated-server joins not preparing deep lobby attribution, so client-side per-mod ObjectDB.Awake and ZNetScene.Awake timings are now recorded when connecting to a dedicated server.
• Generalized the active lifecycle callback blocklist so attribution can be prepared safely from both JoinServer and local OnWorldStart paths.
• Updated the Thunderstore package icon.

1.0.0

• Initial public release of LoadTimeProfiler.
• Supports client loading and dedicated server startup profiling.
