Laminar Engine - Version 1.2.9 Changelog

Architectural Adjustments & Bug Fixes

• Retirement of AI LOD Throttling (Animation Parity Restoration): Completely removed the aggressive background AI tick-skipping mechanism for non-targeted entities.
  • The Issue: Previously, entities without an active target (e.g., when a player switches to Creative mode or leaves the immediate aggro range) had their core AI processing cycles artificially throttled to save CPU resources. This brute-force intervention inadvertently severed the entities' underlying motor control routines, resulting in rigid, "stop-and-go" micro-stuttering during passive wandering behaviors.
  • The Resolution: With the asynchronous iGPU co-processor now successfully absorbing the most computationally expensive tasks (macro-pathfinding and spatial line-of-sight checks), the host CPU maintains significant performance headroom. Artificial AI throttling is no longer required to sustain server tick rates. Its removal fully restores 100% vanilla animation parity, ensuring smooth, uninterrupted passive entity movement at a stable 20 TPS without any negative impact on overall server performance.
• State Clean-up: Resolved minor visual desynchronization where aggressive states (e.g., raised arms) would persist incorrectly when a target was suddenly invalidated.
