Beta v 0.6.4.2
On Tuesday night I patched in 0.6.4.1 which stabilized the new generation engine, which was having some priority/queuing issues. Finalizing that system brought up a new problem causing certain terrains to not render at all. Unfortunately this took me a long time to figure out, as it's just not something you would run into in almost any other game out there due to the multi-layered terrain system that Solace Crafting uses to "fake" long distance scenery. In short, the distant shader was overriding the near shader causing it to fail and simply not draw the near terrains at all. Two seemingly unrelated systems ended up costing me a lot of effort to fix.
That should be the last of the major problems allowing me to now focus on a variety of "smaller" problems that have been reported with the new code. Most notably there seems to be some saving issues causing stored items to go missing. This is no doubt a result of the new save and load code and should be an easy fix for tomorrow.
