Vendetta Online 1.8.357-358

Deneb Run this weekend! Check the in-game Event Information!

VO 1.8.357-358 included:

- Fixed rendering issue with fog on Android.
- Added setting to toggle fog blob particles on Android. The setting defaults to on for Android 5 and above, and for higher-end Tegra and Snapdragon devices. The setting is at Options -> Advanced -> Graphics -> Show Fog Blobs if the effect is too slow on your device.
- Specialty development for an upcoming OEM promotion, across phones, tablets and TVs.
- Improved UI navigation with gamepads and remotes.
- Rearranged some hotkeys for Capship PDA tabs.
- Attempt to improve issues with ANR (Activity Not Responding) errors on Android.
- Reduced black screen time on startup on Android and slower PCs.
- Fixed issue where selecting the Livery button during the initial in-game ship purchasing tutorial would cause the tutorial to restart.
- PatchStorm Update Server cloud has new nodes in Dallas, Texas and Sydney, Australia.

Usually our development is based on a "soft" schedule (defined by us, internally), and sometimes we're trying to work around "hard" dates defined by an outside party. In the case of this past week, we were offered an opportunity by a major OEM (electronics company) to help them test some new promotional channels to their millions of users. That bumped up the priority of related development that would make the promotion possible, and quickly tweak/improve the game on the respective devices.

We expect to return to our internally-driven development goals next week, and continue the push towards VO 1.9. Thanks for your patience, everyone. Have a great weekend!
