Beta 2025.11.18.1216

Beta 2025.11.18.1216 is a Resonite version released on 2025/11/18.

The following notes were sent by Frooxius:

Hello everyone! I got a new build for you! Sorry for things being quiet for a bit, I've been recovering from things and working on improving some workflows and processes (we'll have more on this soonish).

There's a good chunk of quality of life improvements that have accumulated from the teams and I took time to tackle some of the issues that have been bugging me for a while as well from my list as I get back into swing of things.

This is also prepping for .NET 10 update, prerelease for it is coming soon, which will be compatible with this build!

New Features:

• Added "ButtonEquipFavoriteAvatar" which will equip currently favorited avatar on a press (requested by @epicEaston197, issue #2119)
  • This only works in Userspace
  • This can be used to make an asset that allows quick equip of your current favorite avatar!
• Added LuminanceThreshold & LocalizedLuminanceThreshold processing options
  • These are exposed on the static texture provider
  • Localized luminance threshold computes the threshold based on the maximum luminance in a defined region around each pixel
• Added User info nodes for fetching common runtime information - engine version number, renderer name and runtime version (this is typically version of .NET runtime)
• Replaced the SDL3 audio backend for with an implementation utilizing SoundFlow instead, which appears to be far more stable. (implemented by @Cyro)
  • Note that this only majorly affects Linux users.
  • Changing audio devices on Linux should no longer randomly freeze the game (reported by GreaseMonkey, issue #5268)
  • Audio crackling may also be improved (your mileage may vary) (reported by @Stella, @Raidriar🐧, @WattleFoxxo, issue #5260, @Gray, @ralinesh, issue #4526)
  • Audio input device selections should no longer be randomized (reported by @Stella, issue #5451)
  • Connecting or disconnecting audio devices from your computer should now be detected reliably
  • Missing audio devices should now show up (reported by @valkatr, issue #5646, @bwgi, @lorgenz, issue #5444)
  • Capture audio should not be pitched incorrectly (reported by @Grand, issue #5301)
  • Audio devices should no longer duplicate (reported by @kyuvulpes, issue #5450)

Tweaks:

• Video loading from YouTube now prefers original audio over AI dubbed versions (reported by @Foolish, @Pyroboy, @caelthunderwing, @Baplar issue #5659, implemented by @Dante)
• Tweaked cloud permissions to allow a new "Super Admin" tag, to carry out operations that were previously Frooxius only. This is mostly needed for other instances of Resonite (businesses with own deployments). (implemented by @ProbablePrime)
• Added support for pressing Enter key to submit 2FA codes on login and 2FA setup (implemented by @Dante)
• Improved heuristics for initializing Babble OSC driver - it will now start even when the app is not running if it's installed in default location
• Bundled the QuickJS JavaScript runtime alongside yt-dlp to accommodate recent YouTube and yt-dlp changes (requested by @Colin The Cat, @Stella, implemented by @Gawdl3y, issue #5681)
  • Deno will be used instead if it's installed on your system, or if its executable is placed in the RuntimeData directory next to yt-dlp
• Updated the included yt-dlp to nightly 2025.11.16.232923 (implemented by @Gawdl3y)
• Added heuristics for better VRAM detection on Linux (implemented by @Gawdl3y)

Optimizations:

• Changed session thumbnails to use direct Cloudflare R2 bucket URLs rather than going through the Cloudflare Worker API (implemented by @Gawdl3y)
  • This allows the CDN to cache thumbnails properly, improving performance of thumbnail downloads for everyone

Security:

• Applied security patch for Unity Security Vulnerability CVE-2025-59489 (reported by @Shrike, @Venport issue #5731)
  • See more info here: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-59489
  • This only applies to the renderer itself
  • We were most likely completely unaffected, as the renderer is not ran directly by users, but only executed under control of the main process

Locale:

• Merged Finnish locale update by @Toni Kat
• Merged Korean locale update by @MirPASEC
• Merged Japanese locale update by @markn2000

Fixes:

• Added backup & restore mechanism when updating yt-dlp
  • This fixes yt-dlp breaking completely in some cases when it fails to update itself and corrupts the file (reported by @Frooxius, issue #5836)
• Fixed skinned meshes lagging in screenshots sometimes (reported by @Lux, @Spex , @hamocorp, @Jack, @Psychpsyo, issue #151)
• Reworked logic in invite command on the Headless Server Software to avoid crash (reported by @Stiefel, @bredo, @hayden_fluff, issue #1196, fixed by @Jae “awa” J4)
• Rewrite parts of the handling of autoSpawnItems in the Headless Server Software to restore expected behaviour (reported by @Jae “awa” J4, @Scar Vorrix, issue #1107, fixed by @Jae “awa” J4)
