As far as the art team goes, here are a few of our main focuses in the coming weeks:
The entire team is working on optimizing some of our highly populated regions to lessen lag and load times for everyone. We are starting on

the Street in Virtual Vancouver, and Granville Island.
We are also working on a more efficient way of lighting and this will heavily impact framerates around the world, so stay tuned.
Thanks guys!

Patch Fixed Transparency

Hey everyone, we have some great news.
There has been a fix to the way transparency works on props and another fix to increase frame rate while using emitters.
Now, when you prop any object that has transparency, like glass or trees, it will render properly.
To have it render appropriately you must have your 'Prop State' set to 'Texture translucent' and play around with the values from 0-255.
For glass, a low number like 0-10 would work, and for trees, about 50-255. (These are just rough numbers.)
Also, ,make sure no 'Z-buffer' is turned off, or it may not function as intended.

Thanks guys, have fun!

You might have noticed higher frame rates throughout our regions. Thanks to the hard work of the dev team (programmers) and our 3D Department we have been focusing on making sure we enhance the user experience.

We are continuing to work on this issue and we continue to welcome your feedback.
