[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]PATCH NOTES - Ecosystem 1.1[/h2][p]Several fixes and optimizations have also been implemented to prepare the game for Ecosystem's new residents. See below for the full details:[/p]

• [p]Enable support for the Tropical Fish pack, which includes skins and heads for the boxfish, cuttlefish, dolphin, mandarin dragonet, and tiger shark.[/p]
• [p]Fix: loading a savegame results in extra skin texture allocations that are not actually needed.[/p]
• [p]Fix: errors setting a few skin procedural texture parameters sometimes result in rebuilding textures that do not need to be rebuilt.[/p]
• [p]Fix: choosing specific colors and brightness levels for creatures in the Evolutionary Parameters panel could result in unused skins that waste memory.[/p]
• [p]Fix: 'skin update in progress' message could appear in the wrong location on some resolutions.[/p]
