This is not upload size. This is texture memory usage. They are not the same thing.
Completely overhauled internal handling of portals! This should provide much better stability and security to portals, preventing many cases of portals disappearing or desyncing between instance members
Friends+ portals now default to unlocked
Earmuffs range can now take the shape of a cone, allowing you to focus on conversations in front of you
Nameplates will show an icon when a player has earmuffs enabled
Avatar "Hide by Distance" and "Hide by Count" visual aid and toggle
PhysBones have been adjusted to use and maintain the initial hand-to-bone offset as your "grab position" instead of a fixed relative position per bone
This means that grabbed PhysBones won’t move or "snap" when you initially grab. They will only move when you move the grabbing hand
An upcoming SDK update (next week) will add in a toggle that will allow you to turn this behavior off per component
Added a Report User option to report users for using a modified client or "hacking". You can find this under "Report User -> Behavior".
Reporting people using modified clients in this way is very helpful to our Trust and Safety and Security teams! Thank you for your reports!
