Forza Motorsport 2 ReGPU: a second native PC port with a D3D12 renderer and no shader stutter

zer0ducksgiven's Forza Motorsport 2 ReGPU is a native Windows port of the Xbox 360 racer. All 51,034 functions of the game's PowerPC code are statically recompiled to x64 C++ with XenonRecomp, and a native Direct3D 12 renderer replaces GPU emulation. On first start it finds about 4,800 shaders in the game files and compiles them all once behind a loading screen, so new cars and tracks don't hitch mid-race. An installer builds the game from your own disc and title update. v0.5.2 landed on 22 October. It's a rival to 0herculabs' hl360-Forza2 recomp already on the wire.
