Public Release 2.5.0-2

MateEngine 2.5.0-2 – The Finishing Update

Performance Update

• Fixed an issue that caused slow boot times on the Steam version.
• Improved startup speed by up to 2×, allowing MateEngine to launch much faster.
• Added automatic mesh data optimization to reduce GPU usage. Note: User-generated content such as Workshop avatars may still perform worse than MateEngine’s original avatars.

VRMLoader Update

• Added managed RAM allocation to minimize memory leaks when switching models frequently.
• Reduced overall RAM usage to improve system stability.

Dance Player Update

• Added smooth transitions between dances and animation states, including idle.
• Improved transitions when switching dances for a more natural and fluid experience.
  Note: A brief lag may still occur when switching dances, as audio and animation are loaded and unloaded from mod files to conserve memory.
• Dance Player is no longer available during the intro animation and becomes active only once the avatar enters the idle state.

Internal Changes

• Reduced total script usage.
• Removed redundant code to improve stability and overall performance.
