Fixes & Improvements:

  • Improvement (Memory & Performance): Implemented safe, automated VRAM and texture memory maintenance. Texture retention is tuned to safely prune unneeded assets (such as clothes browsed in Wardrobe) without freezing the canvas or affecting characters currently in the room.
  • Improvement (Wardrobe Transition): Added gentle post-wardrobe cleanup that waits for room characters to finish loading before reclaiming GPU memory, preventing VRAM inflation over extended play sessions.
  • Fix (Stability & Rendering): Fully protected the WebGL rendering pipeline so active character models, chat text, and room backgrounds remain fluid and responsive without visual lockups or desynchronization.
  • Feature (Multi-Platform Parity): Unified safe texture optimization across Windows and Linux standalone builds.
  • Fix (Update System): Fixed the auto-update error message on Linux and improved the download progress indicator.
