Transparency
Transparency settings from the older Blenders looked like these:
Most of them removed in Blender 4.2, some that remained are mostly useless now. To fix this, we've implemented several custom settings for transparency (on the material panel):
The new setting "Transparency Hacks" might be really useful to combat various transparency artifacts.

Same story is with "Clip Start" and "Bias" settings (assigned for light sources):
Ambient Occlusion
Ambient occlusion settings have been removed in Blender 4.2, we've recreated them as custom Verge3D settings:
Light Probes
Some settings for spherical and planar light probes have been removed in Blender 4.2, but you can find the missing ones below, on the Verge3D panel:
