Last weekend, we launched the first iteration of our performance patch.
Here's the changelist:
- ~ 250MB less memory used
- 10 - 30 seconds reduced loading time
- reduced memory-related issues by ~ 80%
- reduced likeliness of "green screen" appearing
- 5 - 15% more fps, depending on system
- less LOD-induced Microlags
With this patch, we have also changed the installation folder, because some Windows installations out there had a problem with the ' in "Father's" Island.
If you want to be on the safe side, delete the local Father's Island file in your Steam client and re-install afterwards.
Grace Savegame:
Yes, this would require starting a new game. However, we placed a "grace" savegame in slot 3 where you are already on the island and have solved the first puzzles.
