[Toulan Genie]

[h=3]Information on VU 15.8.5[/h] On Tuesday, May 17, MindArk will implement Entropia Universe Version Update 15.8.5. This update focuses on improving the visual appearance and client performance of Entropia Universe, and includes:

• Improved compression of terrain textures, resulting in smoother landscapes and removal of the tiling effect
• Level of detail (LoD) enhancements and bug fixes.
• Improved billboard rendering with transform and color.
• Post-processing added to rendering of items displayed in the item info panel, and item icons.
• A new client setting available in the Advanced Options panel for managing anisotropic filtering.

Due to the types of changes being implemented, VU 15.8.5 will require a larger than usual client patch (approximately 4 GB).
Our development and graphics teams have been working hard on these improvements, which we hope will enrich everyone’s Entropia Universe experience!
