✅ Changes and Improvements
Game Size Reduced from ~13 GB to 7.2 GB
Optimised asset management and organisation have allowed us to significantly reduce the game's installation size. Reduced game size may also improve performance on some PCs and consoles
Optimised RAM Usage
The way assets are loaded and unloaded within levels has been significantly optimised.
RAM usage should be noticeably lower in many situations
On systems and consoles with limited RAM, this should improve stability
Some systems may also see improved performance
🪲 Bug Fixes
Using Photo Mode within a replay now correctly allows you to change the time of day
Characters such as Ä and Ö now display correctly on consoles
The Replay System and Spawn points now works correctly when used on custom maps on Xbox
