Check.jpg 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 has been fixed so that all leaks are plugged - and VTube releases the memory.

While checking the Alignment feature, we also examined all other areas of memory use, and found other smaller leaks that are now repaired.

  • Large memory leaks were repaired for the Alignment feature.
  • Smaller memory leaks were repaired in other areas of VTube also.

This fix can be proved by running the Task Manager Performance menu, and viewing the "Available" memory value during an alignment.

Check.jpg 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.

Also, the Benderlink Setup menu is redesigned to be easier to use than before.

  • Double-click on the PATH cell to select a path.
  • Click on any cell to select and edit the value.
  • Resize columns
  • Form is now maximized by default
  • Changes made are saved to disk when closing the menu

Check.jpg ENHANCED: Improved System Options Menu

The System Options menu is changed:

  • There is no longer a "Cancel" button
  • The setup inside System Options is always saved to file when closing this window. There is no now way to accidentally cancel the changes.

Check.jpg Other Changes

  • Timer inefficiencies that could bog down systems were optimized. The result is that VTube now runs faster than before.
