Hey everyone!
This update is focused on stability, streamer setup, platform support, settings cleanup, and some performance polish.
Improved Stream Platform Support
Improved command handling across Twitch, Kick, and YouTube.
Fixed several cases where viewer data could be matched incorrectly.
Improved Kick and YouTube player tracking.
Cleaned up disconnect behavior when leaving or closing the game.
Improved YouTube connection cleanup behind the scenes.
Settings Improvements
Cleaned up and improved how game settings are loaded and saved.
Improved graphics setting behavior, including VSync, render scale, MSAA, bloom, and shadows.
Fixed some settings not applying as expected after restarting the game.
Improved preset and queue settings reliability.
Performance And Visual Polish
Improved coin rendering performance when many coins are on screen.
Coins now use cheaper rendering settings where possible.
Reduced unnecessary shadow/rendering work on spawned coins.
Removed an old hardcoded FPS lock so the game better follows your selected VSync/settings behavior.
Added an internal performance overlay for easier testing and tuning.
Bug Fixes And Cleanup
Fixed a shutdown issue that could leave a GameManager object behind when stopping or closing the game.
Fixed odd leaderboard text showing strange characters between names and scores.
Removed old unused viewer mode references.
Cleaned up a lot of internal systems to make future updates easier and safer.
Notes
This update does not change the core gameplay. Coin drops, commands, queues, payouts, and platform features should all continue working as before, just with better stability and cleaner behavior behind the scenes. https://littygames.net/connect was also updated to better understand game use.
