2021.11.10.1253 - Fix random world crash due to race condition in physics events
Just another small patch! Found a race condition bug that was causing random world crashes, should be fixed up (also did some changes under the hood to help catch some potential errors early). Also The Universe locale had a mistake in the credits, this should fix it up!

Compatible with previous builds.

Tweaks:


- Added missing credit to The Universe

Bugfixes:


- Fixed race condition in physics event dispatch, resulting in random world crashes when using haptic volumes (discovered with @MattyK)

2021.11.10.899 - The Universe locale updates, more diagnostics for freezing bug
Hello everyone! Just another small patch sorry! I'm winding down a bit from things, I'll be taking a week or two break, so there won't be much updates. Here's just a few updates to The Universe locale and some more info to help diagnose the random freezing bug.

Compatible with previous builds.

Tweaks:


- Added more information and tweaks to the watchdog mechanism to help diagnose Neos randomly freezing (based on logs by @Enverex, @orange, @Ryuvi | Technical Artist and @AshtonSparx, GH #3265)
- Neos will now try to crash a world when the sync thread doesn't respond, instead of freezing indefinitely
-- Please send us logs when this happens though!
- Updated "The Universe" credits formatting

- Merged Czech locale additions and tweaks by @rampa_3 (UTC +1, DST UTC +2)
- Merged Japanese locale addition by @Aesc/あすく
- Merged Russian locale addition by @Shadow Panther [RU/EN, UTC+3]
- Merged Korean locale update by @MirPASEC

Bugfixes:


- Updated Unity SDK to the latest version and reimplemented Unity texture upload so textures work while running in the editor (reported by @Enverex and @Konshu, GH #2342)
- Fixed duplicate "Create New World" button on the ToolsFacetPreset (reported by @rampa_3 (UTC +1, DST UTC +2), @Cataena, @SUP3RFlyN1NJA GH #3328)

The Universe is now out! Narrative powers of 10 educational experience in VR
Hello everyone!

We are proud to announce that we have just released The Universe in Neos! In this narrative educational experience you'll travel from the simplest elementary particles to the entire observable universe.

[previewyoutube="kPc7R5fwYOc;full"]

Education is something that's always been close to our hearts and where Neos has its roots. Back in 2015 we built the "Neos: The Universe" for GearVR in the Oculus & Samsung Creator Jam, with the dream of one day being able to rebuild this experience in VR.

You can imagine our excitement that we were now able to do just that and make a number of improvements and additions to Neos' world building tools along the way!

Not only that, but we made the experience better - thanks to Neos it's implicitly multiplayer, the objects are grabbable, it's integrated with Wikipedia and some educational worlds by you, our community and you can easily add your own items and compare their scale to the rest of the universe!

You can check out the experience in published worlds in Neos in the "Worlds" tab.

We also have a little behind the scenes video coming soon!

And last, huge thanks to Marinda Botha for providing her awesome voice to the English narration!
