This is primarily a regression test. As in - make sure nothing's broken. But the VRAM improvements are actually a bit exciting. Having those makes it possible to add more content later also.

- Hopefully much reduced VRAM usage when loading many visuals (see link to detailed analysis below)
- Thanks to reduced VRAM usage, all visuals where it makes sense are now gamma corrected
- Shift/Ctrl/Alt modfiers for number keys to reach visuals 11+, 21+ and 31+
- Bug fixes for AMD GPUs in the DLC packs
- Other engine improvements for upcoming releases
