Fast as always! Thank you, @Mathias_Westerdahl! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: So is it something regarding GUI, I guess?

#24

Yes, the gui nodes with alpha 0 doesn’t count anymore when rendering, meaning we can produce longer render batches.

Thanks, that fixes it for us.

Thank you so much for the fix @Mathias_Westerdahl, my project is working now! Moreover, the Draw Calls were again reduced a bit thanks to #6706!

What is sad is that the in game profiler now really behaves strangely - while old one were constantly changing over time, this one can hang and show the same data all the time - is it intended? (the web profiler works smoothly though)

Another thing is that, when this UI profiler is enabled, when I regain the screen focus, somehow ~one frame must be lost, because there is a problem with collision detection at this very moment. Not something important for production games, but for development I was sometimes using the UI profiler, I can now switch to Web Profiler, but I guess it is worth notifying you about it anyway :wink:

Yes, I’m currently investigating it right now.
I do have a possible fix coming up in the beta release (hopefully within the hour)

I released another small change that might help.
Can you tell me more about the steps to reproduce?

#35

There aren’t any solid reproduction steps. According to QA, it happened after a gameplay action that would involve a game object being destroyed, and a sprite switching to a different image.
We’ll test the new release.

Hi @AarrrBee and @Anton_Krasnogor !
Have you had any more issues with the Remotery?

(We plan to release this version today)

We didn’t test it on Friday as it was late in the day that I made the new build and our QA team was testing other branches, so it’ll be part of today’s testing.

We haven’t seen this problem again after further testing today.
