Minor improvements:

  • Build moderemoved lag on open/close build menu categories.
  • Build modeFixed hardcore bug with Termination tool - deleting first spawned object of a kind will remove ALL related objects/materials.
  • Build mode: "Undo" operation now works on image billboards and video displays.

  • Build modeReduced VRAM consumption in building process (not perfect, but better).
  • BenchmarkAdded text "X1, x2 ... x5" on "SPORT" trophies. Now this "SPORT" sign makes more sense.
  • Benchmark: Returned button "Screenshot" (Steam screenshot this time).

  • BenchmarkAdded button "Reset history" (under the history spreadsheet).
  • Benchmark: Polished visuals / element placement on the benchmarking results screen.

  • BenchmarkAdded "DIFF" indicator to benchmarking scene (near 'Score'), showing DIFFerence between your current run and your best result.
  • Benchmark: Hiding/showing avatar by button now happens without any lag.

  • BenchmarkFixed incorrect display of RTX 2060 video memory (was rounded to 5GB instead of 6GB).
  • BenchmarkAdded rough & unofficial support for non-wide screen monitors on benchmarking results page (previously tech specs and other UI elements at left/right sides were cropped).
  • Common: FPS indicator now stays blue in Main menu and benchmarking results scene (because it's annoying when it shows red/yellow 30 fps while that low fps is just forced there to prevent too much heat/noise from PC.

  • Common: Changing focus from Buildmark to another app (Alt + Tab) now won't reset video playing to beginning.

  • CommonVRAM consumption reduced when user images re-applied on the same billboard twice or more.
  • Common: "Reset object materials" on image billboard now resets it's scale to default value.

  • CommonTweaked scale tool speed (not its acts more natural & handy when you using specific axis to scale). Added limits on max and min scale (to avoid PhysX crash/visual glitches).
