Big Things

• Giant performance optimizations (garbage collection, game state management, game world probes, peeps, and UI atlasing, to name a few). Upwards of a 50% performance improvement depending on computer specs. This also reduces microstuttering.
• Brand new cinematic tutorial! Includes an intro cutscene introducing the story, ship-vs-ship combat, attacking Cthulhu and his squids, as well as coming to an seemingly abandoned island to find some horrors lurking...
• Improvements to mouse picking, especially on moving maps (e.g., Behemoth, ships, etc).
• Improvements to high DPI on Windows and Linux. Should be a lot more playable!
• Combat stances now have a much greater effects on combat. Controlled stance boosts accuracy and increases minimum hit; aggressive stance increases max damage more noticably based on strength level; and defensive stance actually reduces damage received based on defense level.
• Improvements to network latency in online play.

• Remember camera settings between play-throughs and after cutscenes.
• Improvements to particles from different, cinematic camera angles.
• Fix crash when using Prisium's Wisdom prayer.
• Tweak lighting in Mt. Vazikerl mine.
• Initial work on Mt. Vazikerl mountain.
• Smoothen player rotation when flipping from left/right. (Really a side effect of performance optimization but it looks good!)

• Improvements to cannon firing logic.
• Fix broken skilling animations.
• Fix Hexagram projectile being too big.
• Fix PlaySound causing stuck animations.
• Behemoth now yeets the player.
• Slow down mimic attack speed.
• Don't spawn barrel mimics on Behemoth. They get tossed anyway!
• Clamp Nuke to bottom for tall NPCs.
• Fix broken scaling mechanic of Ice Barrage.
• Fix decapitate projectile.
• Fix minor issue with projectiles moving quickly.
• Fix potential garbage values in camera properties under certain circumstances in cutscenes.
• New weapon cooldown calculation. Should have no effect on DPS.
