Regions Unload option: If set to yes, this will stop regions unloading, and thus having to be reloaded when re-entering that area. This requires Minimum 32GB RAM for all S.E.

* Movement bunny hop fix. The issue, which seem to have arisen in an earlier update with movement changes, was: When player walked into an object, the auto climb mechanic would trigger and the code added to prevent player flying off the ledge right after climbing the top of objects, had the unfortunate side-effect of causing player to be so force restricted for 2 seconds, that he would do small…
