Kurz nach dem Release der Beta 2 gibt es nun ein neues Update.
Heute wurde Beta 2.5 veröffentlicht, der einige Bugs behebt, sowie Änderungen an der Balance vornimmt.
Die wichtigste Änderungen dürfte wohl das Memorysystem sein. DIe meisten Abstürze von Beta2 lagen an schlechter Speichernutzung und diese Beta dient dazu, zu sehen ob die Optimierungen ausreichend sind.
Wie immer ist das Update über Impulse zu beziehen
Changelog
