We’ve put together a small update that adds support for using more than 2 GB of RAM and includes a round of bug fixes. The extra memory headroom should address the issues and crashes some players run into when running a large number of mods.
Disclaimer: For that reason, we’re releasing this build on an open beta branch. If you’d like to help, switch over, play as you normally do, and report anything unusual. You can post feedback on the Steam forums or in the Discord. If you’re on the beta build, please mention it so we can track reports properly. We've included instructions on how to issue a bug report that helps us the most here.
The full list of changes is below:
