Hotfix 2.44.2: Escalation Limit

This hotfix introduces some small performance improvements and an escalation limit to help prevent long running games from scaling beyond the player's hardware capabilities. A 60 escalation benchmark currently performs at 95% of the framerate of a benchmark on a game version before terrain deformation, fog of war and map size changes.

Features

• Added a Maximum Escalation custom difficulty setting. The default value is 100 on all difficulties and it can be adjusted to 50, 75, 100, 150, 200 and 300.

• Added some memory optimizations to improve stability on more constrained devices. The savings are most impactful on larger maps.

• Added some performance optimizations to improve performance during missions. The savings are most impactful on maps with a large number of enemies.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a certain forest map sometimes generating with overlapping tiles.
