    Really like knowing what an update is for, even if it's a tiny thing like this, so much appreciated!

    Glad you're fixing that stuff immediately instead of bundling it in with huge updates that won't come out for a month. You guys remain the most thoughtful, underrated dev team I know of!

    Pfft not even visual improvements, just bugfixes. I hate this patch for no reason at all!

    models dont animate when they are off screen (most of them at least). the problem was, that the cinematics, which lead the players position / view angle, sometimes caused the bounding box of the directing model to get off screen -> player got stuck. in addition, there was an initialization problem (this is not fixed) for such models when loading a save game (bounding boxes are not set as on screen on game load) which also caused the player got stuck. result was basically, when you are inside the precursor gun / inside the cyclops and you use the elevator / ladder the cinematic would start, but not animate further, basically breaking the game. fix was just to ignore the bounding boxes while a cinematic is playing, just always animate them even when flagged as off screen.

    Seems like a small performance increase as well, you got some fancy code to see if it is running when not on screen I assume :D

    this would only affect performance if you had 10000 constructors in your save game (those were recently permanently set to always render due to this bug)
