Patch v1.09

Bugfixes

• Fixed two instances where cocoons could fail to load properly and would cause save files to get stuck on the loading screen.

• Globally audited render textures. I removed AA for them as it was redundant, and reduced the size of most of them. This should give some users a GPU performance gain. It does mean that 3D dog portraits will be slightly crunchier when zoomed out, but for the time being I think the tradeoff is worth it. I will revisit this in the future if necessary.

• Fixed an issue where importing dogs would almost always fail depending on your OS's language settings. I'd received scattered reports of import failures since launch and while I found and fixed a few issues, the same group of people would consistently keep running into import failures. Through a series of screenshots provided to me from a few of these people, I noticed that all of them had their OS set to another language. With the logging I added in the last patch, I was able to determine that the broken line of code was the line trying to parse a dog's age. Digging further, I discovered that C#'s Convert.ToDouble method does not have consistent behavior across all OS language settings! If your language's culture uses commas instead of periods to denote decimals, then this method looks for those instead. I'm generating codes with periods, and this would cause Convert.ToDouble to fail if the dog's age progress was not a whole number. I now pass in an argument to this method that forces it to evaluate the passed in string the same on every computer.

• Added an options menu setting to toggle "Post FX". If you've been running into framerate issues, or have had trouble clicking on objects, please try to disable this setting and see if it helps! It may not help everyone, but it should at least somewhat boost your performance. I'm going to be continuing to look for ways to increase performance for lower spec computers going forward, but this should be a nice intermediary step in the short term.
