[h2]General Improvements & Bug Fixes[/h2]

• We rolled out the Dynamic Experience Quality (DEQ) rendering engine recently and it worked great for most rooms! For a few it didn't work as well, so we've made these improvements thanks to your great feedback:
• Materials and texture scales changing randomly on some meshes.
• Extremely low detail levels on room load that can take many minutes to fix itself.
• Extremely low detail levels on rooms that use a lot of tubes.
• We've made some edits to the way consumables work backstage, but you shouldn't notice a difference in the way they operate.
• The selection bounding box will now only show when using the transform tool.
• Added the "can edit circuits" permissions for Rooms 2 rooms. Without this set of permissions, players won't be able to see circuits in the room or in the Makerpen palette.
• The New Maker Pen UI now always uses surface snapping without changing classic Maker Pen settings.
• Fixed a bug with the Makerpen transform/move function rotating unexpectedly when starting the operation while using the "Keep Upright" setting.
• Fixed a bug with magnetic anchors.
• Fixed some stability issues on Android.
