I've been tinkering a bit with the engine, upgrading some components, and decided to backport the changes to Dead Hand. Changelog follows: Full Patch Notes Switched from the venerable DirectSound API to XAudio2, upping the minimum requirements to Windows 10 as a result (can't do that yet, still have players on Windows 7). Replaced the Lua 5.2 interpreter with LuaJIT, improving performance on low-end CPUs. Updated RecastNavigation library to the latest version. Pathfinding improvements. More robust actor snapping to ground algo. As usual, fixed a bunch of minor bugs and memory leaks. Have fun!
