addedA new update has been released for BlastZone 2! (v1.34.1.1) This is a smaller update that includes optimizations, bug fixes, and refinements. The full release notes are listed below:
changedImproved event timing when doing screen wipes -Ensures the screen is always fully obscured when loading is taking place
changedOptimized the damage flashing effect for enemies, bosses, and the player ship -Previously used 2 passes to create this effect, now its all done with 1 pass -Generally provides a minor performance boost, but can improve performance by up to 5% for bosses for some systems -This optimization only works for the OpenGL 3.0 and 4.6 renderers --The OpenGL 1.5 renderer reverts to the old 2 pass approach, slightly reducing performance
fixedFixed the player ship being occasionally being stuck in a glowing state during the ship selection screen -This would occur when leaving a previous game while the player ship is taking damage
changedThe debug frame stats display now uses commas for the draw calls and particle count displays -Also updated spacing for the particle count displays
