Version 2.0.2.0

IMPORTANT: If you are experiencing “Fatal Error” crashes and have an AMD card, please visit the link below. There was a known issue that AMD fixed in an update in January, but it appears that newer versions of their drivers do not include this fix:

New:

• Added option to customize the colors of the new UI widgets under Settings -> UI. (Return of palette support)
  
• Searching for scenarios now treats each “word” in the search individually, so searching for “IC Cata” will return all instances of “Cata IC” too.
  
• Moved “Friends Only” option to the Leaderboard widget itself.
  
• On the Challenge Completion screen, swapped the order of “Next” and “Stop” for Playlists to match the order of non-playlist for “Play Again” and “Freeplay” (Play again/next will be on left, Stop/Freeplay will be on the right).
  
• Performance optimization: scenarios with large numbers of bots should have higher framerates than before.
  
• Greatly improved performance/speed of sorting online scenarios (this also makes the game load faster since the sort function is called once at the beginning).
  
• Revealed numeric values for floor & wall values for roughness/metallic/fullbright on Settings->Visual.
  
• Added map parser support for “Kill Volumes” that kill characters that touch it: Using the Reflex Arena map editor, create a brush and set its material to “blackout”.
  
• Updated navigation in Trainer to add social links and make it less easy to accidentally logout.
  
• Better graphing of performance in Stats section of the Trainer.

Fixes:

• Fixed crash bug related to DX11 for some users
  
• Colors selected in the settings menu for walls/floors/character will now be accurately translated to in-game colors.
  
• When changing sort order or search filter in scenario/playlist browser, the window will now scroll back to the top.
  
• When playing a Playlist and an Online Scenario is unavailable, a pop-up will ask whether to skip that scenario or cancel the Playlist. (the scenario will no longer be deleted from the Playlist)
