  • Add a very experimental «sixty-four-bits» Steam branch with heavily reworked 64-bit versions of the engine for Windows and Linux, instead of the current 32-bit builds.
    • Not recommended for normal players, this is mostly directed to Sphinx veterans who want to report issues.
    • macOS will be ready in a few days, right now the branch will not work.
    • Most of the existing mods will not be compatible with this experimental version.
    • Seems to work fine on Steam Deck as-is, with some limitations.

  • Fix a crash when projected shadows (or NPC projected shadows) were disabled at startup in the latest version. Thanks to nas#7536 for the report.
