Early Access Update 30

It's not just the Windows kernal that got updated and caused worldwide chaos - apparently Proton was also affected by changes to Windows, and has thus required a fix to the DirectX shader compiler. So once again, the game should be running on SteamDeck, Proton and Wine in general. A shame M$ don't actually mention anything when they update D3DCompiler47,dll ... ːnotsohappychappyː

In other news, the Beta has had another overhaul, and the GlowBin has been ... er ... binned! ːhappychappyː This has now been replaced with glow getting it's own pass during rendering. This required a bit of "fixing" of every object that used glow ... which turned out to be 94 of them ... ːsteamfacepalmː
