DeepCube™ 1.18.8

Immersive APM is now DeepCube. Everything since 1.18.0 lands in this Steam update. Tessa gets hands: ask her to build and break a scenario in the Shoebox sandbox and she does it herself, then hands you the link. The chat window becomes a proper window you can select from, resize, zoom and reopen where you left it, and the service graph now makes failure legible from a distance.

What's New

  • New name: Immersive APM is now DeepCube. This is a name change only. Your account, your grids, your keys and your telemetry are unchanged, and the installer and license now carry the new name.
  • Tessa drives the Shoebox sandbox: ask her to stand up a scenario and break it, and she creates the sandbox for you without asking, sends the diagram over, runs it, and hands back a link you can open. No signup, and nothing to set up first.
  • Tessa reads the map: ask "any phantoms here?" and she answers from the phantoms actually on your grid, with the reason each one is there, instead of reciting a definition. She also speaks the product's vocabulary now, so the words on screen and the words in her answers are the same words.
  • Chat window, second pass: select and copy the transcript, drag the edges to resize it, zoom with Ctrl+= and Ctrl+-, and reopen it exactly where and how you left it. Paste an image with Ctrl+V, recall what you typed with Up and Down, and open the window with a hotkey.
  • Chat commands: /help lists what Tessa can do, /clear actually clears the conversation, and a command she does not know gets an answer instead of silence.
  • Failure is legible at a glance: a phantom now drifts to the sparse rim and its edges stretch taut into strain lines, tearing the fabric open rather than dragging healthy services out of shape. Error nodes hold their callers at a stepped-back standoff, a stable cleared ring around the fault. One cue per meaning: motion for danger, color for state.
  • Grid picker: grid descriptions show inline on the rows and in a tooltip on hover, and the whole list arrives in a single pass instead of one lookup per environment, so it opens faster and no longer folds two same-named environments into one section.
  • Tessa picks up a workspace's instruction files as background context, matching what Studio already does. It changes nothing for a workspace that has none.
  • Smoother in dense scenes: in-world screens are paced and sized to what they actually need, distant text is culled, and detail culling now measures the detail rather than the whole object.

Fixes

  • Fixed teleport arrival dropping you through the floor. Arrival now probes for ground, recovers to your last good footing if you fall, and resets cleanly when you teleport out of water.
  • Fixed error nodes jittering instead of settling, and fixed the graph slowly flattening while the companion roamed on its tour.
  • Fixed the app shutting itself down after a brief interruption to its data connection. It now rides out the blip and reconnects on its own.
  • Fixed the chat losing its transcript when the window was reopened.
  • Fixed messages sent with an image not showing your own turn, so you could not see what you had asked.
  • Fixed Shift+Enter submitting instead of starting a new line. The composer now grows as you type.
  • Fixed the chat panel dimming while you were plainly using it. It now stays bright when the pointer is over it, not only when the text box has focus.
  • Fixed tooltips left stranded on screen when the row under the pointer disappeared, and fixed one tooltip erasing another.
  • Fixed the idle HUD toggle doing nothing in the Lobby.
  • Fixed an unreadable chat tab label, and shipped smaller resize cursors.
  • Chat links now open in your browser instead of inside the chat window, and release notifications point at the current documentation site.

Known Issues

  • The chat handles one conversation at a time. The transcript now survives reopening the window, but it is not saved between sessions, so a fresh run starts a fresh conversation.
  • macOS support is experimental and may lack full feature parity with Windows.
