Changelog

v3.0.5 (2026-11-12)

• SDF fonts no longer bake every glyph at startup. A glyph bakes the first time it is drawn and goes into the disk cache when the game closes, and the MSDF generator is faster. One tester's profile showed about 250 s of CPU time and 13 GB of allocation at boot from the old eager bake.
• SDF glyphs and <neon> glow now bake on a background thread, so the first time a font, character or glowing message appears the game no longer freezes for a moment.
• A new immersive message appears whole once its glyphs and glow are ready, instead of popping in piece by piece.
• <shake> moves smoothly instead of jittering.
• <obfuscate mode=random> works in immersive messages.
• <outline> on SDF fonts draws a clean, even outline instead of jagged edges with a gray ghost behind them. Pixel fonts keep the old outline.
• Motion and color effects (<wave>, <bounce>, <shake>, <rainbow>, <pulse>, <fade>, <glow>, <swing>, <circle>, <wiggle>, <turbulence>) no longer slow down or stop on computers that have been running for many hours.
• Fixed a crash when another mod builds a text Style without running its constructor.
