 ### Fixed
 
+- Fixed issue where certain devices that support large numbers of texture slots exhaust the maximum number of if statements (complexity) in the shader.
 - Fixed issue where `ex.Label` where setting the opacity of caused a multiplicative opacity effect when actor opacity set
 - Fixed issue where the `ex.Loader` would have a low res logo on small configured resolution sizes
 - Fixed issue where `ex.Gif` was not parsing certain binary formats correctly
