Changes
- Improved Performance for Background Color Logic
- Improved Performance for In-Game UI Updates
- Fixed an issue with the SOV/S3 Intro Loop Animation that was causing permanent darkness after the first loop
- Updated Rewired to 1.1.58.4
- Fixed missing
FlashWhite support on MOT Poke Objects
- Fixed a missing
ignoreServerErrors flag in some Store Scripts (Editor-Only)
- Fixed an issue causing a 2s audio delay when entering the game through the Late Waiting Room
- Rewritten Player Position Clamping for Gameplay and Minigame
- Allows for defining custom boundaries without the need for colliders,
as is used currently for Vanilla Backgrounds
- This also fixes a bug where Collisions could be abused to get out-of-bounds
- Store Updates:
- Initial selection is now always the middle item instead of the third entry
- The randomization of store products is now dependent on the Game Flow Seed, making it possible to produce consistent results in playbacks
- Misc. performance and randomization logic improvements (Old recordings also effected)
- Rendering Pipeline Upgrades:
- This feature is in BETA, some inconsistencies may be present
- In development since last August, TC4 has finally moved its rendering pipeline from Standard -> URP
- Removed Obsolete packages (Shader Forge, Standard Assets)
- All Shaders have been re-created to be more performant and utilize ShaderGraphs
- Some shaders and materials have been removed as obsolete, with others merged together
- The
Blur effect on the WeaponChange and ArmourChange transitions has been removed, to allow for proper hard-shadows
- Subsequently, the
Greyscale effect previously used for the shadow has been replaced by a post-processing effect
- (S4) The TV prop in Vanilla Backgrounds now displays different memes, customized through the Scene Color System
- (S4) A new Jockey Mask has been implemented, in addition to a new graphically-enhanced environment as well
- Cloud Rendering in the Welcome Screens has been altered so bigger clouds always appear above the smaller sized ones, leading to much less z-fighting
- Fixed z-fighting when overlaying Jockey Hands over each other (Left Hand always above right)
- Added a new setting for changing the
Quality Level (Returning feature previously baked into Unity in 2016/2017)
- This will be expanded in a future UI/setting update in the near future
- Audio Pipeline Upgrades:
- This feature is in BETA, some inconsistencies may be present
- Optimized Audio Placements to reduce Garbage Collection / Memory Usage
- System Prep Work to allow for Directional Audio to be a customizable feature (Unlikely this'll actually happen)
- Fixed incorrect sound effect for
AssholeSkullLink (block_metal_big -> indestructible)
- Fixed incorrect sound effect for
AssholeWormLink and AssholeWormLinkEnd (block_metal_big -> indestructible)
- Fixed incorrect sound effect for
OrugaBigBossLink and OrugaBigBossLinkEnd (oruga_boss -> indestructible)
- Fixed incorrect sound effect for
Asshole08 (asshole_07 -> asshole_08)
- Fixed missing sound effects for
FollowMeForItem
- Fixed missing sound effects for
OrugaCoinStealerLink
- Fixed missing initial sound effect for
TripleBigBoom (Might get removed since the way it works makes this feel wrong)
- Fixed incorrect sound effect for
QuestionBox (block_metal_big -> indestructible)
- Fixed a regression from build
2025.01.17 causing Hand Items to be sucked into The Nothing
- Added a new Hand Sprite for certain item spawners from the Jockey (Returning feature from SXSW 2016)

Known Issues
- CloseUp Camera boundary limits may be incorrect in some cases, due to the camera system changes involved in URP
- Recordings using the V1 Music System may break in this build, due to the
playlist field being empty during that time
- This issue only applies to this build, which uses a specialized branch, and only applies to really old Practice Mode Recordings
- Lighting may be missing or incorrect on some Quality Settings
- This will be fixed in a future update, please use
Good quality or higher for the time being
- (Legacy Recordings) George Clooney Boss does not use the correct prefab on
Classic and Master of Trolls environment
