Known Issues

Graphics

Optimisations,

• Optimised textures. - they should take 30-50% less memory and result in ~10% better FPS.

• Fixed inverted normals on brick textures.

• Improved Master Materials. - about 3% less complex should give better FPS and load faster.

• Added support for parallax mapping - this is disabled if materials are set lower than "high".

• Reworked catacombs lighting to be more performant.

Environments

• Improved lighting in flooded level.

• Added parallax mapping to bricks - depends on graphics settings.

• Decreased brick normal map intensity by ~50% - thought it looked more hand-painted.
