## **Fixes**

---

### **Volumes**

- Visible fire over the smoke even if the fire opacity curve is zero in "Own Opacity" fire mode.
- Volumes incorrectly affect alpha of objects behind them.

### **UI/UX**

- Hidden Overwrite file dialog in Render mode when "Always on top" is enabled.
- Debug log UI issues.
- Labels in drop-down widgets are cut off if item name is too long.
- On initial opening of the filter option all available filter types are listed instead of the actually available scene objects.

### **Live Link**

- Vantage not receiving updates in Live Link from 3ds Max when VRayEnhancerData render element is present. Now VRayEnhancerData render element is disabled, if present, upon Link Link start.

- Only first sequence task with render elements saves with correct filename frames, subsequent tasks write as a single frame.

### **File**

- Sequence queue item(s) being deleted upon scene reload from .vantage file.
- Animation FPS not stored or recalled correctly from .vantage file
- Vantage saves corrupted .vantage files when there are NaN/Inf values to save (e.g. the camera transform)
