Buildmark 2021.1e patch notes:
Added "Power saving mode" (after 45 seconds of inactivity it will be turned on - lowest graphics settings + 3 fps max cap).
Leaderboards now opening inside Steam overlay instead of external web browser (there is an issue when external web browser is opened though Buildmark it will set it to endless "Running" state in Steam and prevent it to be closed by normal means).
Ray tracing Tier 1,2 and 3 were tweaked to increase reflections quality and thus fix reflective materials appearance (black or weird looking). To compensate performance drop from increased reflections quality shadow distance for Tier 1, 2 and 3 was decreased. Hope this trade off will be more visually appealing.
Added Buildmark EULA. Necessary evil ...
Added option to prevent sending benchmarking data (score, GPU model, steam username) to Steam Leaderboards. This option can be found on the new benchmarking settings screen that will appear after "Benchmark" button was pressed in main menu.
New default avatar. Still WIP but it's more funny than that "thing" from before.
Minor improvements to increase speed & reduce memory usage when loading save file in Build mode.
Fixed last issue with Escape menu - it was not blocking Item icons from object/material spawn panels in Build mode.
Minor improvements to phrasing on panels with missions descriptions.
