Even bigger Memory Optimizations are implemented

Mirage now uses very little RAM. How much? Just 2GB of RAM!
I was working on these RAM optimizations for a long time and finally finished them today, like 30 mins ago. Enjoy this new build and if Mirage crashed before on your PC and now works after this update - please tell me, I am desperately trying to fix that "Loading" bug for you, guys.

Huge memory optimizations have been implemented.

With this update Mirage uses two times less RAM.
Previously:
With 1 character - 11 GB RAM

Now:
With 1 character - 6 GB RAM
2 characters - 6.8GB RAM
3 characters - 7.8 GB RAM
4 characters - 8.3 GB RAM

Originally I planned to finish and release memory optimizations in Mirage 0.4 but some users report "Loading" crash after release of Mirage 0.3.5 and after reading their bug reports I saw that a problem was related to memory management and decided to rewrite source code in a hope that it will fix a problem for them.

If the game crashed before this update and now it works without issues - please report it by leaving a comment in this thread.

Hotfix: trying to fix a Loading bug (2). Bought a very old PC.

For this build I rewrote Mirage source code to previous version of Unity. To the same version that was used in Mirage 0.3 in a hope that it will fix a bug. I did it because users said that 0.3 worked but 0.3.5 - does not and one of the major differences between releases was an upgrade and code rewrite to newer Unity version.

Also, to fix this bug I bought today a nine years old PC and tested this new build on it - Mirage works there.
That machine has:
* GeForce GTX 650 (2GB RAM)
* Intel Core i5-3470
* 8GB RAM
* 500GB almost dying HDD
* Windows 10 Pro

Please report if this hotfix helps.

Hotfix: trying to fix a Loading bug. Attempt #1

Some users reported that a game could not load at start. I looked at their submitted crash reports and the problem was in third-party library from Unity Asset Store (Highlighter around girls bodies). I removed this library completely and rewrote it from scratch with a different visual effect (transparent boxes around girls bodies). It should fix the issue.

Prevent Steam from deleting Scenes, Looks files when it updates a game

I have changed Steam rules about how it updates Mirage. It should not delete your scenes/looks/poses files anymore.
