An update is now available for all platforms:

• Fixed startup crash on legacy Intel graphics drivers
  
• Added auto fallback to disable item effects on hardware that doesn't support GLSL 1.10
  
• Added option to disable item effects (Settings -> Effects)
  
• Fixed potential default sound corruption and improved sounds loading speed
  
• Fixed bug with engageplayerpos/engageplayerrot getting ignored with numplayers 1
  
• Fixed bug with player teleportation when entering replay edit mode instantly after pressing R
  
• Added status message on successful shop purchase for item effects and other items that can't be activated
  
• Graphics options that are irrelevant with currently chosen settings are no longer displayed in the list

This update features item effects, better in-game inventory, improved speed for file downloads and customs loading, bug fixes and other minor improvements.

• Item Effects
  Item effects are a new type of customization for your Tori which can be fused into your Force, Relax, Primary Gradient and Head Texture items.
  
  
  
  To apply an effect to your items, you need to fuse them together.
  Upon fusion, effect item is destroyed and its effect is permanently applied to the item you've chosen.
  You can stack effects of different type and apply all of them to the same item. First fusion into an item is free, every subsequent fusion costs 50,000 TC multiplied by number of effects already fused into the item.
  
  When fused with an item, some effects offer additional upgrades (glow intensity for glows, pixel size for dithering).
  These become available for free once you play the required number of fights with the item equipped or can be purchased at any moment with Shiai Tokens.
  
  
  
• Improved in-game inventory
  Inventory received a proper "Customize" view for texture items, items that allow effect fusion and upgradeable items - so you can manage them right from the game without visiting forums.
  
  
  
  Your owned texture items will also now have the uploaded texture displayed instead of default item icon (requires caching it first by opening Customize screen).
  
  Inventory also received some general backend improvements to increase overall stability and QoL changes such as double-clicking on a set to view its contents and remembering last viewed page and list position when reentering Inventory after leaving it.
  
  
• Other updates
  • Set number of players (1 or 2) for any mod via gamerules menu or /set numplayers command when in Free Play.
    
  • Linux version is now 64-bit.
    
  • Improved GUI scaling on low resolutions.
    
  • Added Tori Twerk atmosphere by Tomato.
    
    
  • Fixed bug that was preventing folders from being shown in various menus with opt filesort 0.
    
  • Fixed bug with timer / frames display ordering introduced in Toribash 5.5.
    
  • Fixed purchase confirmation boxes' text overlapping.
    
  • Fixed bug with TC not always refreshing properly after redownloading customs.
    
  • Fixed bug that lead to corrupted replays when editing it after frames run out without pressing R.
    
  • Fixed bug in Linux version that was preventing files from being downloaded properly.
    
  • Fixed bug in Linux version that was preventing sounds from playing.
    
    
  • Lua scripting updates:
    • Max texture limit has been raised to 384.
      
    • Added BitOp support for bitwise operations.
      
    • Updated get_color_info() with game_name field to get the color's game name.
      
    • Added set_draw_effect() to use for all 3d draw functions
