White Knuckle Beta 0.55o
Now, you might be wondering: "What happened to 0.55n? Well, you see I simply forgot that 0.55n was a closed beta for the forward+ renderer, and figured the next version was o. I only just now realized this but the build is live and I do not want to reupload with the version changed by one letter.
Changes
Performance
Added a new experimental setting: Forward+ light rendering, an optimization leading to better GPU utilization and reduced power usage around light sources. We recommend players with lower framerates and laptops enable it. As this is a big change to how we handle rendering, this option will remain opt-in until we have determined that there are no visual errors.
'Experimental Features' must be first enabled in the accessibility panel of the settings menu.
Disabling Post Processing now also properly disables bloom.
Accessibility
Reduce Flashing Lights option now also reduces static during nuke, electric discharges found in e.g. Electric Pier, certain strobe lights and the Flare Gun's flares.
Bugfixes
Removed Campaign win Perk Reloading unlock, as the Biomod Oversupply facility upgrade now replaces it.
Fixed Focus Mode not being able to quickly place Floppy Disks in floppy inserters.

Fixed barrels colliding with water as though it was solid.
