Patreon Build Release 22.12.2022 Announcement and Changelog (Patreon)

Hey all,

After some intense bug-fixing this week we are now almost ready to release the last version of 2022. We fixed many crashes, the animation desyncing, a performance issue due to memory management, sandbox gizmo, and many other smaller things. Overall we have made massive improvements on the stability compared to the testing version from last week. Sadly there are still several issues that will require more time to fix, jittery physics are still there, as well as generally weaker performance, and the lighting and materials are still work in progress. But rest assured, things will get better in the coming year :)

Here are the changes coming to the build since the $25 testing version:
