Bug Fixes

Lobby & Play

Fixed the issue where previously equipped ear, skin, and face items could not be selected for preview in the Avatar Closet after previewing a different item.
Fixed the issue where certain UI elements would sometimes fail to load when entering a World.
Fixed the issue where the camera recording function did not work correctly when editing a profile on Android devices.
Fixed an issue where text extended beyond the screen or overlapped in mobile vertical mode, allowing menu buttons to display correctly on both vertical and horizontal screens.
Fixed the issue where group members who don't have ‘View Permissions’ access were able to view the inquiry list of the World when they directly accessed the inquiries page from the World Details page.
Fixed the issue where the text would not revert to its original color even after returning to the previous tab while selecting individual or group categories back and forth from the Global Creator Challenge submission World selection screen.

Maker & API

Fixed the issue of backgrounds (other than the background first selected after opening the picker) not being applied when selecting a Template type background from BackgroundComponent by opening the picker.
Fixed issues of entities that are included in the layer still being visible even when the Visible property of the map layer in the Maker is set to false.
- This also fixes issues of entities of the hidden layer being visible again when the entities' Enable is turned off and on after the layer is hidden or upon leaving to another map and then returning.
Fixed the issue where the UI that displays the Maker's UI editor selection status changed based on the Scale Scene value.
Fixed issues with the 'Adjust Resolution' and 'Scale' items being shown with the same text even when the language has been changed to English or Spanish from the Maker's Preferences window.
Fixed the issue with the camera shaking up and down while moving up and down ropes or ladders near the boundary when the map boundary (Bound) size meets certain conditions.
Fixed the issue that creates empty space when trying to adjust the docking panel size.
Fixed issues with the Initialized failed property error that was triggered in the previously-edited World being displayed in the Maker console upon accessing another World in the Maker.
Fixed issues where the local coordinates, instead of the world coordinates, would change when moving an entity in the same map through the following APIs.
- MovementComponent — SetWorldPosition()
- TeleportService — TeleportToEntity(), TeleportToEntityPath(), TeleportToMapPosition(), ReserveTeleportToEntity(), ReserveTeleportToMapPosition()
- PlayerComponent — Respawn(), MoveToEntity(), MoveToEntityByPath(), MoveToMapPosition()
- PortalComponent — When using portals
- ! Please Note: There could be changes to the actions if the entity's local coordinates and World coordinates are different when moving an entity in the same map.
  - If you want to change an entity's local coordinates, use the following APIs:
    - PlayerComponent:SetPosition()
    - MovementComponent:SetPosition()
    - TransformComponent.Position
    - If you need to use the existing APIs, change the positional values that are delivered as factors to the world coordinates.
  - When using PlayerComponent:Respawn(), make changes using one of the following methods:
    - Change the RespawnPosition value based on the world coordinates.
    - Or extend PlayerComponent and override the Respawn() method to directly set the entity's position.
  - When using portals, directly set the entity's position from the PortalUseEvent handler.
Fixed an issue where the Player entity position coordinate spaces (local/world) were being mixed.
- Areas for the following components were not detected correctly by the player when the player entity's local coordinates and World coordinates don't match:
  - ClimbableComponent, InteractionComponent, PortalComponent
Fixed issues of the 'You don't have permissions in this group' message box displaying when saving after making edits to a World with developer permissions in a Group World Maker that uses a local workspace.

- Fixed issues of characters spawning in an unintended position and thus being unable to move normally.
- Fixed issues of being able to spawn in an unintended location when attempting to respawn after entering a map.
- Fixed issues of an entity with an added PlayerComponent being able to respawn in a position other than the map entry position.
Fixed the following TextGUIRendererInputComponent issues:
- Fixed issues with the spacing (Padding) property for TextGUIRendererComponent not applying while editing text in the TextGUIRendererInputComponent's Truncate/Ellipsis mode.
  - Entering a negative value for Padding will make the text display within that range and increase the click area.
- Fixed issues of the new text's position not being updated to the correct position when changing the text with the Text property when TextGUIRendererInputComponent is in MultiLine and Ellipsis/Truncate mode.
- Fixed issues with certain key inputs, such as directional keys being ignored while the Ctrl or Alt key is pressed in the TextGUIRendererInputComponent.
- Fixed the issue of not being able to submit text with the Ctrl+Enter shortcut.
- Fixed issues of the text looking like it's moving to one side while being entered when Overflow isn't used for TextGUIRendererInputComponent.

- When transitioning to the Plain Text tab in the Script Editor, an error message will now display in the event of an error.
- Fixed issues with the SignatureMismatch error being incorrect for certain redefined property methods.
Fixed the issues where the padding and softness values were not applying properly, changing the TransformComponent.Scale value for the MaskComponent's parent entity in the Model Editor.
Fixed issues where changes that are made to the base model of the entity after re-entering the Maker were not being applied to the entity.
- Edited property values of the model entry, such as ZRotation will now be properly applied upon re-entry.
Fixed issues of the ‘Loading’ text being visible when YouTubePlayerWorldComponent entity's Visible or Enable is inactive.
Fixed issues of model properties being able to share the same name, thus creating synchronizations spreading to other components.
- Properties that were saved with the same name will have their names automatically changed to a non-duplicate name when they are removed and then re-registered.
SkeletonRenderer Loop Stabilization

Fixed issues of the Batch Count increasing unintentionally when using TextRendererComponent.
Fixed issues with the SineEaseInOut for the EaseType outputting the incorrect value.
Fixed issues of created entities not being visible due to the upper items not opening when creating an entity in the upper items that are folded away, such as World, Common, and Maps in the hierarchy.
Fixed issues of the UI entity being placed in an unintended position when creating one with the hierarchy window context menu while under certain conditions.
Fixed issues of tiles not loading until re-logging in when a tile is loaded multiple times with an invalid RUID.
Fixed issues of the Discard and Save buttons not being active even when the OverrideSorting's Enable is turned off or on when editing a UI model in the Model Editor.
Fixed issues where edits were not being applied from the 2nd playtest upon editing the Sprite Entry that was created with Import Image in the individual created world that doesn't use LocalWorkspace.
Fixed issues where using custom font's RASTER or SMOOTH render mode (RenderMode) on mobile would cause the font rendering to not appear as intended.
Fixed issues where, when a StateType's OnUpdate event executes a forced transition with a ChangeState API, the following conditional transition acts targeting the state before the conditional transition, thus overwriting the ChangeState call results, leading to the called content sometimes not being applied.
RateLimitService
- Fixed issues with the use limit not applying to the ScriptOverridable method of the native component.
Fixed the issue of changes not reflecting on model-based entities placed in the map when a property is edited and then undone for a model entity.
Fixed an issue where the RandomSeed property of BasicParticleComponent, AreaParticleComponent, SpriteParticleComponent, UIBasicParticleComponent, UIAreaParticleComponent, and UISpriteParticleComponent was automatically changed when AutoRandomSeed was enabled after entering Maker or ending playtesting.
Fixed an issue where certain methods in UILogic returned incorrect values when the Scale of UITransformComponent was not (1,1,1).
- Affected methods: ScreenToLocalUIPosition / LocalUIToWorldPosition
Fixed the following errors related to model properties:
- Fixed an issue where the types of ValueType.type and Value could become mismatched.
- Fixed so that mismatch warnings will appear in the build console when property value types of child entities do not match.

Thank you,
