@SweatedSiren895 I'm getting close to finishing the textures, but can't give a specific date.

[SCT Studios @SCTstudios]

@The_Edward_Mott The pack has been updated to the Copper Age and Mounts of Mayhem. The pack should update automatically, or if not you can go to the pack's page on the Marketplace and look for an update button.

[SCT Studios @SCTstudios]

TrueRealism HD is finally updated for the Mounts of Mayhem and Copper Age! We had a few issues getting the update out - sorry for the delay.
The update also includes improvements to some existing textures, some fixed bugs, and an optimization to reduce the pack's file size.

[SCT Studios @SCTstudios]

The hotfix has finally been approved and is now live. The pack should once again work for users of Switches and other low-powered devices.

[SCT Studios @SCTstudios]

An issue is currently preventing TrueRealism HD from working on low-end devices. We have a solution and will submit it right away, but it must be approved for release by Mojang. Hopefully they do so quickly, but we have no control over this process. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[SCT Studios @SCTstudios]

@pricetaz1 No news unfortunately. We submitted the fix and are now just waiting for it to pass Microsoft's review. Any pack update must wait its turn, even if it's a tiny (and very important) hotfix. They can be extremely slow to approve updates, I can only presume due to a large backlog.

@Kleman_pln Thank you, I'm glad you like the pack! Vibrant Visuals is the focus of my work currently, however it's a big project and I can't share details just yet.

[SCT Studios @SCTstudios]

@BeefyTheBallz @Shannon01221776 I am looking into this issue right now - I will give an update once I know more. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[SCT Studios @SCTstudios]

@GnoeBahdee @Demented170 Haha, thank you, I appreciate it! I am working on it and am making good progress, but I can't share any time estimate just yet.

[SCT Studios @SCTstudios]

With the upcoming release of Chase the Skies (1.21.90) this Tuesday, custom skies across all texture packs, including TrueRealism HD, will cease to function. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do about this, as the game itself simply no longer recognizes sky textures. We are truly sorry for the inconvenience and we hope Microsoft will resolve the issue in a timely manner.

[SCT Studios @SCTstudios]

@KingObsid1an Yes, I actually added a fix for that bug a few updates back.

[SCT Studios @SCTstudios]

@MajiinL This is because pack updates can only be approved if they contain all the textures for the latest game version. Mojang is on holiday until early January, so I will submit the new MoM update then. Sorry for the continued delays - I wish I had more control over the process.

[SCT Studios @SCTstudios]

@MajiinL It took so long to go through both my publisher's and Mojang's approval systems that the Mounts of Mayhem drop arrived before it was approved - meaning we unfortunately had to pull the update and wait to resubmit it along with the MoM content, once I finish work on that.

Do you use the reduced fog mode in TrueRealism HD?

For context: currently, TrueRealism HD provides an option reduce fog density/opacity. For technical reasons, having this option comes at the cost of doubling the texture pack's file size. Given this downside, we are evaluating whether to keep the option built-in, and are gathering data on its usage.

If we were to remove the option, we would offer a free online download to a pack that can be applied over TrueRealism HD in order to achieve the same low fog mode. However, we know that some console users are unable to download packs from the internet, so this isn't a perfect solution.

[SCT Studios @SCTstudios]

@Demented170 Currently no Marketplace content is compatible with Vibrant Visuals. That will have to come at a later point, I'm afraid.

[SCT Studios @SCTstudios]

@silentwisperer_ On the topic of bugs that were introduced with the update, skyboxes across all texture packs have become broken! I'm hoping to spread the word that it's not the fault of individual texture packs, but rather a bug in the game itself: https://t.co/C3QvoGRBbB

[SCT Studios @SCTstudios]

⚠️Custom skies have become nonfunctional in the preview version of Minecraft. If left unfixed, this would be a major blow to my texture pack and countless others that utilize custom skies. If you have a bug tracker account, please vote for this issue: https://t.co/t1ZmZeYqW7

There appears to be a minor issue with pigs in the update - it seems that a change to their model wasn't applied properly, so their tails look incorrect. I'll have a fix for that included in the next update.

[SCT Studios @SCTstudios]

Good news: The 1.21.70 update is finally out, meaning that in addition to all the new textures, the issues with certain mobs are now also fixed. Sorry for the delay!

[SCT Studios @SCTstudios]

I have finally finished work on the Spring to Life update for TrueRealism HD! This update adds all the new features in the latest drop, and fixes the bugs with certain animals. Apologies for the delay! It now must pass content review, which I'm crossing my fingers will be quick.
