This update focuses on performance improvements, smoother controls, and more consistent statistics.
Performance
The rendering of numerous objects on the world map has been optimized, significantly reducing CPU load.
Wind turbines have been reworked and are now processed much more efficiently.
Unnecessary background updates and calculations have been reduced.
Wind turbine rotor animations now use a significantly more performance-friendly solution.
Several rendering calculations have been optimized to improve frame rate stability, especially in more complex scenes.
The user interface has been further optimized to reduce unnecessary recalculations.
Window dragging has been improved and now causes fewer additional UI calculations.
Loading and initialization processes have been optimized to prevent individual background processes from unnecessarily delaying game startup.
Improvements
The mouse cursor now uses a hardware cursor instead of the previous software cursor.
This makes mouse movement more responsive and keeps the cursor smooth even under higher system load.
Overall UI responsiveness has been improved.
Additional internal optimizations reduce unnecessary CPU usage during gameplay.
Fixes
Various values within the statistics have been standardized.
Related statistic views now use the same calculation basis and therefore display consistent values.
Differences between displayed statistics and the actual calculated game values have been corrected.
Minor visual and UI issues have been fixed.
Thank you for your feedback and continued support in the development of Hidden Champion.
