Release Notes: 26.08.2026


## **Improvements**

---

- **Composition Gridlines:** A grid overlay can now be enabled for the whole viewport instead of only inside the Video Editor, and the option stays accessible while the renderer toolbar is collapsed.
- **Renderer Reset:** General Settings now offers a reset of the renderer state, clearing the shader and pipeline caches and the stored configuration, to recover from graphics driver problems without reinstalling.
- **Export File Replacement:** When a file of the same name already exists in the destination folder, you can now choose to replace it instead of Enscape adding an index to the file name.
- **Color Management:** Rendered images now embed a standard sRGB color profile, so colors stay consistent in post-processing without setting the profile by hand.
- **Light Management:** Teleporting to a light in orthographic mode is now a smooth movement instead of an instant snap, matching how it already worked in perspective mode.
- **Archicad:** Archicad 29 menus now follow dark mode.


## **Fixed Bugs**

---

- **SketchUp:** Fixed some materials appearing washed out or transparent after updating to Enscape 4.19.
- **Asset Library:** Fixed a crash when opening the Asset Library while the Chaos Cosmos service is stopped, so Enscape now explains the problem and picks the service up once it starts.
- **Asset Library:** Fixed the Asset Library staying empty on machines where local calls go through a proxy server.
- **Rendering:** Fixed rendering a single image ignoring the Synchronize Views setting, so the rendered image no longer differs from the CAD view.
- **BIM Information:** Fixed the BIM Information panel staying blank instead of reporting that no BIM information is available.
- **Chaos Assistant:** Fixed several unsaved-changes dialogs appearing when dragging assets from the Chaos Assistant.
- **Materials:** Fixed Enscape becoming unresponsive after quick successive material changes.
- **Export:** Fixed a custom export path being lost after closing the Export window.
- **Artificial Lighting:** Fixed stability and correctness issues in artificial lighting.
- **Sky:** Fixed sky rendering artifacts appearing when subsampling is active.
- **Stability:** Fixed crashes that could happen when an exception handler failed while it was handling an earlier error.
- **Ray Tracing:** Fixed shadows not always updating correctly for animated content.


## **Known Issues**

---

- **Navigation:** Movement along the Y axis with the W and S keys is not registered in orthographic view.
- **Performance:** Model geometry data can be reallocated repeatedly in some scenes, which can slow down rendering.
- **Chaos Notification Center:** Enscape requests system permissions that the Notification Center does not need.
