Geometry Dash: Nexitron - Update 1.2.0 Changelog & Patch Notes

Hey everyone! This is crazy to say but... Update 1.2 has officially launched on Gamejolt and Itch.io! This is the first ever "not-so-small" minor update for the game! And probably the only one that will be made for it. A TON of stuff has been added! (Cause this is an early version of Update 2.0!) This whole update was done for two reasons. 1. To give the game more of an updated look and to keep the hype for Chapter Two up! And 2. in preparation for Update 2.0! With this update, your save data from this build should be compatible with version 2.0 and Chapter Two! (We hope LOL) This might be our longest changelog we've ever written to date, so strap in! We've got a long list of stuff to discuss for what's been added, so let's not waste anymore time!

Happy gaming!

• [Bugfix] [Unknown Fix] Attempted to fix a random crash from occuring during long gameplay sessions.

  • This is caused from memory overflow, which can be hurtful to the game if too much is loaded in consistently. We have tried our best to resolve this issue, but expect it to sometimes still occur. Best you can do is save as many times as you can throughout the game!

• [Bugfix] [Beat That] Fixed an issue that would cause multiple inputs from one click from the first beat orb on high end devices.

  • This is an old fix, but we figured we'd add it for those that might be unaware this was fixed months ago.

Hope you enjoy this update and I hope you're excited for Chapter Two coming soon!!
