v1.23.1.0 update - More multithreading improvements and bug fixes

A new update has been released for BlastZone 2. This update is mainly a follow up to the recent big v1.23.0.0 update that had substantial improvements to the engine tech. This update addresses several areas that weren't covered by the multithreading improvements in that update. Overall performance will only get a small bump from this, but this update smooths out hitching in a few areas and improves responsiveness slightly during gameplay. Here are the full release notes:

  • Added multithreading support for several areas left out of the v1.23.0.0 multithreading improvements, including: -All menus -Loading operations after the initial startup -Gamepad input -Console input -Leaderboard communication
  • Fixed brief discolored border of horizontal screen wipes
  • Fixed an internal error when uploading or downloading leaderboard data

As a side note, I have a big surprise coming for the next update of BlastZone 2! The only hint I'll give is that it's something people have been asking about for a while now. Anyway, enjoy today's update and stay tuned for the next one!
