Latest Patch 0.0.4910.5
// October 3rd, 2009 // Updates
The latest Blue Mars patch arrived on September 25th, 2009.
This being only a minor patch, not much has been affected. What has changed are some welcome additions, and some minor bug fixes.
The first and most apparent change is the addition of a floor and some potted vegetation in the welcome area. Not being able to walk on water may be a setback for some, but it does add to the overall visual appeal and makes the welcome area seem less primitive.
Also of particular note, frame rates have been improved with this update, which is always a great thing. The only strange thing is that the release notes specifically mention that this is only for Shade City. Also in Shade City, there’s been an addition of a day/night transition when navigating up the stairs. Should be interesting.
Two bug fixes have also been reported as being fixed, one being that there are now more clothes available for female avatars, namely, bikinis (and there’s already some controversy over in the forums about this) as well as the “report issue” button being fixed in certain areas.
