Hi folks! We have a second part of the Accelerator update today, plus a bunch of bug fixes and more! Stay tuned below the changelog for an update on me.

Major Changes

When we rolled out the Accelerator update two weeks ago, some players (mostly AMD users) had rendering problems, and so I hastily rolled back all the rendering-related optimizations and fixes from that update in a hotfix build. But thanks to some heroic testers whom I’ll never be able to thank enough, we found the bugs and now we’re ready to roll those rendering optimizations back out to everyone again, and that’s most of what’s in this update!

Hi folks! What, this? Why, it’s only the single biggest performance boost we’ve ever shipped, why do you ask? :D

Much faster game simulation!

With this update, even the largest saves we’ve received from players are now running at or near full speed on our test machines! This is a CPU-side optimisation, and I expect that the biggest improvements will be seen by players with large games, many players logged in at once, and at least three or four active world regions, with bigger savings the larger your world gets. There will likely be little or no difference for people who currently have just one or two regions active, and folks who are GPU-limited due to huge amounts of placed scenery will still be GPU-limited. (But hopefully running the simulation at max speed at least won’t make their frame rate actively worse any more)
