This is a free patch version.
Really messed up on the last one. Files were getting too big, scene change took an eternity, and memory consumption went bonkers. These are the woes you get when you get used to develop on a high end setup; you become unaware of these things and later receive a kick on your face when you test development on weaker hardware.
This patch focuses on those illnesses and a few other cosmetic oddities that piled up over months of development. The list of changes includes:
Oriol's fusion sequence no longer blacks out.
Removed redundant inventory reading upon character profile load and switch, main culprit of the long game startup and scene switch times.
Removed memory leak when clicking between "Profiles" and "Continue".
Durian and any NPC with very large and detailed tattoos were forcing save files to be enormous. Old save files will keep their big size unless you use the new "obliviate" console command, which wipes out NPC memory from the player character.
New console command swap orcA,orcB,duration,multiplier will swap the body shapes of the two orcs with the names provided as orcA and orcB using a transforming buff, where you can assign a duration speed and a multiplier for the strength of the effect. You may use the shortcuts @playername and @playerinterest in place of actual names in order to apply the effects to the player and any character currently interacting or in proximity to them.
Blendshape and occlusion issues on ponytail hairstyles are now fixed.
There is a slight chance that the game will close itself on the main menu; if this happens, please let me know immediately.
