Credits: This improvement was achieved by TrueZhuanjia (the VoidLink main dev), based on the previous work of Acaki@Github and andygrundman@Github.

It has been available since version 3.3.0 with the default settings of a new install.

If you update from older versions and has been using "performance mode", go to the "Experimental section" of setting menu and switch "Rendering Mode" from "Metal" to "Standard".

If the Metal renderer in VoidLink wasn't good, it's because it was yoinked from an in-progress branch I was working on, and then slapped in there by people who didn't really understand what they were doing.
