6 major technical improvements across startup, shader, and graphics systems. This update is focused on first-launch stability, better FPS, and cleaner graphics behavior. Fixed shader compilation issues during startup. Improved the shader status widget to make it more stable and easier to read. Adjusted graphics settings to remove unnecessary performance cost that was not providing enough visual value. Reduced unwanted visual noise for a cleaner overall image. Added a new graphics benchmark and auto-detection system. Prepared startup presets for different GPU classes so the game can make better first-boot graphics decisions. Reworked the first-launch logic so shader compilation and benchmarking no longer interfere with each other. Improved the overall startup pipeline for more predictable behavior when entering the game for the first time.
