※3/5 Update:
0.8.68b is now live, this hotpatch fixed skin material lighting issues introduced in 0.8.68.
=================
Hello, everyone! Another monthly update is here.
In version 0.8.6 we have upgraded Unreal Engine to 5.5 in preparation for DLSS4 support. This particular engine version had some physics issues that resulted in a number of mesh and physics problems in some outfits, especially the Lunar New Years dresses. To compensate, all players who purchased any of the Lunar New Years outfits will receive Juzi’s LNY outfit: Mist-Riding Serpent (attached image #2) for free in the March update. This update necessitated a data rollback earlier this month; if you were affected by the rollback, please check your inbox for compensation.
Version 0.8.68 addresses meshing issues with Haute Couture outfits, and added half-nude states to some of them. New thin vinyl clothing materials have been implemented, applying to all outfits that use it.
