The first big update for Revenge is live! I worked very hard the last days and so I was able (depending on the settings) to reduze the required RAM by 1-2GB and the VRAM by 150-400MB.
I also changed the way the maps are loaded. Right now it's not that pretty. The important part is that it works better than the old way. Until now only some core maps are loaded. After that the screen will stay black for a short time until all other maps are streamed in. To give you the ability so see what's happening in the background I enabled the text based output on what is loaded.
It should look like this! Not pretty bot you know what your PC is doing right now.
Please remember that mobile GPUs, Intel HD GPUs or any GPUs with shared memory can cause problems. They are not supported!
