Game Update 1.31 [November 2022]

The game is taking ~50% longer than normal to load on this release, on very well known hardware. Same as we had in February and March, prior to April’s threaded optimisation changes.

Likewise the game is suddenly taking up to 50% longer to load, again suggesting something is holding the CPU back. Feels like there’s something weird going on in the background.

as a result of whatever has changed, loading the game after a normal Windows startup is far quicker than before, and more in line with how it was in 2021 and earlier
