Hello again, Watchers!
This patch didn't make it in time for the previous update, but was deemed important enough for release as soon as it was ready. We have identified and fixed an issue that bloated the game's save files and consequently impacted memory usage and degraded overall performance over time.
After applying this patch, the game will correct the data when loading an affected save slot. This process might take some time depending on how degraded your file became, so please simply let it finish and load into the world. Once corrected, your subsequent loading speeds will return normal!
As always, if you have any questions or comments, join us on our Community Discord!
