Most importantly, if the game crashes for any reason, the editor does not crash at the same time (which could cause data loss). Highlights Many features originally intended for 4.3 ended up making it into 4.4

. • Fixed an issue where Mesh objects created through MeshUtils.createMesh caused data anomalies. Editor • Support baking high-precision lighting maps to get a better baking effect. When the user turns on high-precision lightmap baking, 16-bit colors are used instead of 8-bit colors, and AO channels are baked separately.

This generally works and looks pretty, but it's quite shader intensive, which makes it not work on mobile or low end GPUs. The solution to these problems is to add support for a more traditional lightmapper (pre-baked light texture). Light is precomputed offline and rendered to a texture, which is then used by the geometry.

Retrieving data from VisualServer is slow, as it may need synchronization. For example: On GLES3+ we can use UBOs to optimize shader parameters. Shader abstraction. This may sound like the obvious way of doing things but, in truth, it creates a big bottleneck on allowing users to write shaders. and which move.
