The new NavigationServer adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime. In order to benefit you should be moving your objects and running your game logic in _physics_process(). This ensures your game will run the same on all machines. Two years ago (!),

The fix seems relatively safe but this will require heavy testing to make sure it doesn't regress - if you have 3D games using Bullet physics, please try this RC 2 and report any issue.

While this is not a feature per se, it fixes a major annoyance that users have had with pointers to freed objects unexpectedly being re-assigned to new objects, causing hard-to-debug issues. GLES2 batching is enabled by default both in-game and in the editor. C#: Allow debugging exported games ( GH-38115 ). Other changes.

stable branch in January 2020 as a major update to our free and open source game engine. Such pointer could be reported as valid even though the memory it points to was not, or worse, that memory could now hold a different object, leading to hard to debug situations. C#: Allow debugging exported games ( GH-38115 ).

As such, most of the focus was on implementing missing features or bugfixes which are critical for publishing 2D and 3D games with Godot 3, and on making the existing features more optimized and reliable.

This post gathers best practices based on our experiences so far using NVIDIA RTX ray tracing in games. It can be directly in the AS build calls or in some related task like the culling of the objects. Cull instances for TLAS. Instead, cull instances depending on the situation. Instances should share the base mesh BLAS.
