addedNEW - Texture Quality Setting We’ve added a new setting to Settings → Graphics → Rendering Device to adjust the texture quality of units in the game. Adjust this if you’re on a laptop or on Steam Deck, as those systems use Shared Memory for graphics and will crash if you run out of it. This is the #1 cause of crashes for players on these systems.
changedCustom Portraits Updated default custom portrait directory for the legacy AI artwork so users can select pictures from previous versions. Made various custom portrait bug fixes (e.g., garbage elements showing between menus, custom portrait selection not ‘sticking’ between menus/sessions).
changedUpdated to allow you to use custom portraits for AI players.
