Essential Improvements
No Loading When Alt+Tab ↹-ing Back Into Game
When first booting the game it will display a loading bar at the bottom-right of the screen for about eight seconds. This same loading bar will reappear if Alt+Tab ↹-ing back to the game while in fullscreen mode, making Alt+Tab ↹-ing annoying. Deleting shaderlog.slg seems to fix this with no repercussions. |
