FIXED: Memory Leaks
A few heavy-use customers were reporting that the Alignment feature, if used for hours repeatedly, would eventually cause a lock to the software. We discovered that VTube would eventually run out of Windows memory if used for extended periods of time because several additional megabytes of memory was used but never released during each alignment.
This fix can be proved by running the Task Manager Performance menu, and viewing the "Available" memory value during an alignment. |
ENHANCED: Repaired and Improved Benderlink Setup Menu
We discovered issues with the Benderlink Setup menu, where edited data was not always stored after it was changed in the grid. This has been repaired. All data entered is saved.
