Update

Tech bug fixes

• Quality Result text is now visible on Mac devices.
• We’ve updated some blur shaders which may be causing UI transparency issues on Macs.
• You can now use keyboard thrust controls immediately after closing an interface, even if pressing the thrust keys with the menu was still open.
• We’ve made some changes to make the scout behave better when it is deployed. If it refuses to be sent out again please send an in-game bug report so we can take a look further into why they are being disobedient.
• Ambient messages should no longer trigger on the same frame causing the text to double up over the top of each other.
• We’ve made some changes to the avatar rendertexture to attempt to resolve the missing avatar in character creation that some Mac players are seeing. Since our office Macs are unaffected, we need volunteers to test this out and report back to us. Please create a new save and complete the tutorial to the point of character creation, then send an in-game bug report to us to let us know if your avatar displays correctly. N.B. If it does we recommend creating an avatar to replace the blank one in your current lineage
