This update focuses on performance, usability, and stability. VRAM usgae has been reduced by approximately 75% through extensive texture optimizations, the user interface has been completely redesigned, and save management has been improved with support for non-destructive sub-saves. Numerous bugs have been fixed across Windows and macOS, several simulation systems have been corrected to better reflect real-world behaviour, and visual consistency has been improved throughout the control room.

Breaking Changes

• AR-1, AR-2, and AR-M's Measurement and Execution switches now correctly select the required number of channels for AR operation (3 or 4), matching real-world functionality.

• Fixed DKE/SFKRE power release indicators around selsyns to correctly display power release deviations (red/green).

• DKE probes now use ion chambers with current corrections and a noise threshold for improved accuracy.

• Temporarily disabled DirectX 12 on Windows due to ongoing Unity engine issues.
