Description

This card has no description.

Additions/Changes

  • Condo Hub entrance elevator re-do
  • Project 12/Rooftop bar entrance elvator re-do
  • Updated the floor in the central plaza area to also use the new materials and trims used in other tiled plaza areas
  • Updated minigames arena archways to look better and have a screen that displays the currently playing game, and moved them out to the edges of the arena
  • Moved the minigame arena signs down off of their overhead archways to sit closer to the ground and to the side to not block view of the new minigame arena display archways
  • Art pass on the tower lobby
  • Art pass on background islands
  • The ocean’s water is now only translucent when you are near the water, improving visuals
  • Improved the visual quality of the plaza’s distance fog

Optimizations

  • Optimized rendering of the nightclub exterior building, reducing drawcalls by around 250
  • Optimized rendering of the bumper cars exterior building, reducing drawcalls by around 120

Fixes

  • Fixed the planters around the fountain area from being off-centered
  • Fixed some stores in plaza from streaming out the root levels
  • Fixed the imposter LODs for the plaza’s palm trees not having a snow variant, alleviating the horrendous pop-in during the winter plaza
  • Fixed a bug that was causing foliage dither LODs to fade out prematurely; so dithered foliage LODs are now enabled for more graceful transitions
