removedThis update brings some optimization regarding the lighting, depending on your hardware, this could increase performance by a bit to a lot. For example: The FPS on my development machine increased by around 60% in the office hallway on all high settings, FSR disabled. On my older test machine, the FPS increased by almost 100% in the office hallway on all high settings, FSR disabled. Please let me know if it improved it for y'all!
addedAdditionally, based on feedback from the Community forum, I have added a separate hitbox for moved objects. You can now report objects, that have moved, at their old location as well.
