This is a small patch to fix some showstopping bugs.

  • Fixed a crash caused by multi-core rendering. You should no longer need -threads 1 or similar hacks.
  • Quicksaves and autosaves should now occur without issue.
  • The energy ball in Chamber 18 should correctly continue to spawn until it's encountered all the turrets and the catcher.

Please let us know if these issues persist after the update.
