Jul 1, 2025July 2025 (ixray-1.6-stcop) delivered substantial rendering fidelity improvements across backends, combining water rendering refinements, PBR shading enhancements, and cross-backend robustness. Key deliverables include a base PBR reflections system and offscreen puddle reflections to elevate water realism, a fix for inverse view matrix calculations to remove rendering artifacts, improved screen-dimension handling and cube render target support to ensure correct aspect ratios across backends, and shader configurability with skybox visual polish. Additional UX improvements came from weapon animation enhancements (bone-part support and through-sights visuals) and targeted G-Buffer data-precision upgrades. These changes yielded higher visual fidelity, more stable cross-platform performance, and improved developer ergonomics for faster iteration and easier maintenance.
