GroundZero Phone 0.8.5 — Communication & Video Update

Added

• Video calling during direct phone calls, with front/rear camera switching and a local preview.

• Added clearer camera status indicators.

• Enabled movement while the phone UI is open, with right-click dragging to look around.

• Prevented movement while typing in text fields.

• Improved contact recovery, offline messaging and access to older conversations.

Fixed

• Removed the additional world-rendering pass that caused shader conflicts.

• Front-camera mode no longer rotates the local gameplay view toward the player.

• Removed front-camera capture’s dependency on world-camera updates.

• Improved cleanup of abandoned VoiceBridge sessions and conflicting direct/group call states.

• Calls now end on logout or when the server detects a disconnected client.

• Unanswered calls and invitations expire automatically.
