Testing improved performance and stability (v1.4.3)

OPTIMIZATION

Following a few crash ports on v1.3, and many more after v1.4, Jack has been hard at work looking for solutions to further optimize the game and improve overall stability.

We believe a very meaningful step forward has now been taken with v1.4.3! A new means of compiling the game means it should now perform MUCH better!! This is a fairly substantial change, so we want to test it thoroughly before pushing it out to the main branch.

ACCESSING THE BETA

Accessing the public beta branch is simple as can be and only takes a few steps:

1. Find the game in your Steam library, right-click it, and select "Properties..."

2. From the menu on the left of the new window, select "BETAS."

3. Click the dropdown menu underneath where it says "Select the beta you would like to opt into", select "public_beta - Public beta."

4. Wait for the game to complete updating.

5. Launch the game!

BUG REPORTING

While this is potentially a massive overall improvement to the game, it is likely to expose all new bugs in the code that have otherwise worked through the previous exporting methods.

I have created a new thread that is specific to bug reporting for v1.4.3. Please share any problems you encounter there - and we'll be racing towards a new and improved Dead Estate, that should run better than ever before!
