This one is about how the app feels — lighter on your machine and a lot more polished.
Performance
- Runs smoother on modest machines: VantGrid now senses a lighter computer at startup and eases off the ambient animations from the very first frame, instead of stuttering while it figures things out.
New
- Five new Plus avatar frames: constellation, comet, reactor, rune and aurora — each tinted by your own glow color. The older frames got a little richer too.
Fixed
- The activity sky no longer piles up: while your friends were loading, or whenever the window was not focused, the constellation stars could stack in one spot instead of spreading into their orbits.
- Avatar frames animate while you are looking: a Plus frame could end up moving only when the window sat in the background. Now it animates when you are actually on VantGrid.
Everything still travels peer-to-peer, as always.
