Game Update December 13, 2023 (Peformance & Stability)

Around 14:00 AM UTC+1, game servers will restart for a game update to be deployed.

Client Performance:

• Sped up model recreation to properly cache model templates (reducing CPU overhead).
• Performance and memory improvement on the task scheduler to prevent the client from freezing due to running out of memory.
• Reduced memory and CPU cycles if ingame sound is disabled.

Chat System Changes:

• Fixed issue with the chat system not properly freeing up message widgets and keeping their vertex buffers active (additional cause for native crashes.)
• Chat message limit was decreased to 50 simultaneously displayed messages (old limit: 100 messages).
• Chat messages can now stay visible for up to 30 minutes (old timeout: 15 minutes).

Uncategorized Changes

• Fixed a bug in the network protocol decoder that could occur when the required data was not yet available. This could prevent network data packages from being received properly on a slow connection.
