Sorry for the lack of updates as and after the beta ended. I’ve made several fixes for issues after the beta ended (including a fix this morning).

Build 70450 that just went out has a test that I suspect will not fix the tint/color issues, but confirming that the issue is not fixed in this build is important data to get. It’ll help narrow down where the source of the errors is a lot. If people could make sure they’re updated to that build and

My repro steps for the bug are a bit more synthetic/contrived than normal gameplay, so I can’t be 100% sure if I fixed the bug or a similar bug with the same visual issues, but I feel fairly
