First of all, Happy New Year!
This patch is primarily a hotfix to address some loading issues which may affect certain hardware profiles, this bug occurs when switching between areas. I'll be keeping a close eye on the bug but please feel free to report issues if you see any.
Otherwise, the patch also contains a lot of cosmetic changes which explains the rather large patch size.
With that out of the way, thank you very much for all the support and I hope this year will be a great one!
