We've been hard at work on optimizations and managed to make a couple of big breakthroughs.
The memory usage of the game has been significantly lowered.
Previously during stress tests I was able to get the RAM up to 8-9GB loading as much as possible.
After our recent changes, I was unable to get higher than 6GB RAM, with a usual standard of 4-5GB.
We are still working towards making this even lower, but this update carries a memory saving of around 2-4GB during gameplay.
This is a massive boost for older machines, and especially people with low RAM installed. As the previous builds could have led to game/pc crashes if it ever got too high.
We have also compressed a bunch of files. allowing us to reduce the game install size from ~6GB to 3.3GB.
