##### Updates

**Spatial Audio**

-  Fixed crash related to spatial audio that could occur in multiple locations throughout the game with random intervals

-  Fixed an issue with audio dropping out when spatial audio was enabled

**Mouse Input/Camera**

-  Fixed mouse input focus issue where mouse would not control camera, but could still control menus

-  Moved mouse controls to use raw input instead of GameInput driver

**HDR**

-  Fixed an issue where HDR would not retain its setting on subsequent game starts

**VRAM Utilization**

-  Texture Quality now uses fixed sized texture caches in VRAM instead of growing to use all of available VRAM

-  VRAM usage shown in the settings menu now reflects the amount of VRAM allocated based on the current settings as a percentage of amount recommended by operating system. Usage over 100% will work but can lead to performance degradation.

-  Modified VRAM texture cache algorithm to reduce VRAM usage that may have caused performance to degrade over time

**Controller**

-  Fixed an issue with 3rd party controllers having stick drift

**Animation**

-  Fixed animation issues in 32:9 super ultrawide screen in Open Your Heart cinematic
