Original post:
This time I did all my major testing on windows
if anyone needs the mac build just poke me for it and I'll put it together
probably will try to get the linux build later or tomorrow if someone pokes me about it
this is the first version in a while I'd consider playable, not everything has returned from 2.8 yet, there's still some cleanup to do, point out anything that seems off
I believe I've fixed the performance issues by making sure animation controlling functions are only called on the master of the entity
scaling in size should be saving correctly now so one shouldn't get stuck in the floor, or hover in the air after a warp or loading back in
being let out from a pred should snap you to the floor if you got stuck in the floor from that
we made the camera zoom in and out with you when you shrink/grow! I think this is great fun but if people would rather this be an option we can figure out an option for it
the game also won't break your character if you load them in with a status effect that doesn't exist, it'll just, remove itself from the character easy, the game should have done that from the getgo but, starbound be starbound
we made monsters interact with vehicle seats correctly, so now they rotate and are layered between the fg and bg of the vehicles correctly, which is great
quadrupeds haven't had their animations fixed yet, but we did change the behavior of how rotation arms work slightly, so they won't constantly flip in place if you hold the cursor above them
remember the annoying ass "lock item" thing we had in SBQ, it is gone, we murdured it, it was something we needed before engine mods but it was fucking terrible and stupid and confused people and it was just bad, now we can just, have the vehicle seat itself choose what items are allowed to be used in it, which is great, Zy even went as far as to edit the behavior of the hotbar slightly so it would grey out items you aren't allowed to use
there's probably something else I forgot, we're going to make sure to make a cohesive changelog and documentation on new engine functions when 3.0 is finished though
the next goal involves violently ripping vehicles out and just making everything run on the player/NPC script itself by making them a loungable entity

Ah I see. I guess my PC is a bit too fast. But I did find a way to boost your odds: You will need to stress a CPU core and set the affinity via Task Manager of starbound to that core and set the priority of starbound to low. This will make starbound only use the assigned core and prioritize the stressing program over starbound which will give it more time to process the player calculation first. Got to love those Race conditions.

took a bit but the issue was found, it was randomness! explanation in the post edit

I tried to run it but I sometimes get Access Violation exceptions when I start. Furthermore, when it launched successfully and I create a new survival game it hangs. It seems like some memory leak as it keeps increasing in RAM usage. Maybe it is partly due to some mods, but I have tried it with only Stardust Core/Stardust Lite, and with the Monster compatibility loader. Sadly Nothing seems to work. So there seems to still be an issue.

I'm very interested on the Linux build when you have free time, no hurry. Both server and client. Want to try mounting the server on a miniPC and test how much resources doest it consume.
