Brickadia Official Updates

Leon

Fixed input bindings on selector and resizer.

Bots - Added BR.DrawDebug.Bots to show where bot spawners are located.

Maps - Fixed incorrect collision profile on plate ground. - Fixed Space gravity scale not replicated. - Fixed Peaks floor had no collision.

Rendering - The Text Decal component can now be scaled non-uniformly. This is an incredibly complicated transformation to do for an outlined msdf shader, so outlines may be incorrect in some cases. - The Text Decal is now sharper under DLSS upscaling and perspective views. - The new low roughness plastic material is now only used when HWRT is enabled and can provide specular occlusion. - DLSS Frame Generation can now be used at the same time as VSync on supported hardware. - Fixed missing Lumen card coverage in many interior areas.

Engine - Updated DLSS plugin to version 8.7.2-NGX310.6.0. - Enabled global devirtualization in the linker to slightly improve overall performance. - Several optimizations to PhysX simulation performance in preparation for destruction. - Optimized buoyancy by moving it into PhysX. - Fixed audio component leak in 5.8 causing significant slowdown over time. - Fixed crash trying to init VSM on DX11. - Fixed several engine crashes.

Networking - Raised server player limit to 50. - Fixed clients not following the host to a new world. - Fixed brick owner names not replicating on users changing their name. - Fixed clients disconnecting when receiving update for removed dynamic grid. - Fixed failure to replicate a large number of brick owners. - Fixed incorrect replication prioritization for entities that are moved while frozen. - Fixed one shot audio replication.

Localization - Updated strings for all languages. - Fixed incorrect rich text syntax in a few cases.

Changelog CL15501 (EA3.1 Hotfix)

Bricks - Fixed crash placing half micro round brick. - Fixed Prefab Spawn brick orientation inconsistent with other spawns.

Vehicles - Fixed rigid joints moving sweep wheel joint failing to move the top-of-suspension collider. - Fixed aerodynamic surface automatic control mode not being visible to clients in some cases. - Fixed engine defaulting old vehicles to the Physical air control mode.

Logic Gates - Added option to include builder mode players in gates retrieving all players. - Added BR.DrawDebug.Microchips debug view to find the bricks holding collapsed microchips. - Fixed crash recreating wire that was destroyed by connecting another wire. - Fixed crash attempting to wire Exec into Swap or Select. - Fixed crash on disconnect if a particular wire contraption was in the world. - Fixed wires going into a microchip inside another microchip rendering towards the wrong position when the outer chip is collapsed. - Fixed Send Custom Event parameters not editable in Applicator. - Fixed custom event gates not correctly linking on world load when saved in microchips. - Fixed Array Pop gate returning the empty flag after pop rather than before. - Fixed fail-able Array and Map gates not resetting outputs to default on failure.

Components - Fixed incorrect default values and slider ranges for water material settings on zones.

Physics - Fixed constantly animating rigid joints slowly corrupting the physics simulation over time. - Fixed gyroscope simulating one tick towards stale target when re-enabled, potentially generating enormous impulse.

UI - Added ability to ignore additional dialogs created by Show Popup to avoid soft locking the game with a looping wire contraption. - Added a chat notification when autosave runs but has no changes to save. - Reset the hide builder mode overlay setting since it is less intrusive now. - Fixed role editor showing gameplay permissions that did nothing when edited. - Fixed players disconnecting when assigned a new role.

Tools - Fixed crash equipping placer during initial load into server. - Fixed empty steps remaining in undo/redo history if all actions failed to apply.

Player - Fixed third person camera offset causing the camera to collide with the vehicle. - Fixed wading sounds when walking through shallow water.

Rendering - Reduce VRAM usage when HWRT is available in hardware but not used. - Reduce VRAM usage when only Proto Lumen is enabled. - HWRT can now be toggled on and off instantly without restarting the game. - The separate HWRT setting has been removed, HWRT Lumen will automatically enable it. - Can now use HWRT Lumen reflections without using HWRT Lumen global illumination.

Engine - Implemented an async loading path for DLSS, removing absurdly slow NVIDIA driver code from the hot path so the game opens several seconds faster on DX12. - If async loaded DLSS makes the game unusable on your computer, you can pass -syncsl to restore the old behavior. - Further improved startup speed by not recreating DX12 device for no reason. - Fixed FSR frame generation not working.

Networking - Initial connection to EOS no longer blocks main menu on the Resuming Session dialog.

Changelog CL15526 (EA3.1 Hotfix)

Vehicles - Fixed wheel joint not updating correctly when joint distance is changed. - Fixed in-world hints displaying in the tutorial. - Fixed manual steer and pitch for planes.

Logic Gates - Fixed setting to include builder mode players in fill array gates not applying properly. - Fixed Send Custom Event not propagating types manually configured on the gate. - Fixed Send Custom Event not linking correctly when connected to a target grid.

Game Modes - Fixed softlock when initial player is switched to spectator before the loading screen hides.

UI - Fixed blank line above chat.

Worlds - Fixed crash loading invalid world file with timestamps out of order. - Fixed crash scrolling prefab view during engine garbage collection.

Rendering - Can now switch between DLSS and FSR frame generation providers at runtime. - Can now toggle simple shading lights at runtime, also fixed it not working. - Fixed the FSR frame generation doubling up frames properly this time. - Fixed foreground text artifacting heavily when using frame generation. - Fixed opening the avatar editor corrupting the cloud rendering in the main view. - Fixed colored glass text in simple shading mode dropping the color.

Networking - Reduced rigid joint replication spam when used in idle vehicles.

generating something that feels unique to brickadia and is clearly distinct enough from bricks is difficult....

Leon

may as well also post my previous experiments with a different style of mesher i still have available
