Update 0.9.0E Live on Testing Branches (Memory Usage Crashes Fixed + More!)
Hotfix 0.9.0E is live and addresses the excessive amount of memory used causing issues with many players crashing when trying to load one of the larger maps with Full Resolution Textures. Before 0.9.0E the average RAM usage with all units spawned in and a fire loaded in Manhattan was 24GBs of Ram being used. Now that number has fallen to 15GBs in the same conditions. I went through every texture and sound file, and resized files that needed to be compressed and reduced in size while making sure essential and important textures and sounds kept their integrity. Also in this patch are more optimizations, bug fixes, multiplayer sync fixes and additions. Now that the memory usage has been addressed we are going to continue digging deep into the game to find root causes of performance issues and continue to optimize the game while beginning to address more Multiplayer issues, EMS issues and improving other things like the hoses. Thank you all for your patience through this testing phase and we promise more timely patches that continue to improve the stability and playability of the game.
