This update focuses on performance improvements, smoother controls, and more consistent statistics.

Performance

• The rendering of numerous objects on the world map has been optimized, significantly reducing CPU load.

• Wind turbines have been reworked and are now processed much more efficiently.

• Unnecessary background updates and calculations have been reduced.

• Wind turbine rotor animations now use a significantly more performance-friendly solution.

• Several rendering calculations have been optimized to improve frame rate stability, especially in more complex scenes.

• The user interface has been further optimized to reduce unnecessary recalculations.

• Window dragging has been improved and now causes fewer additional UI calculations.

• Loading and initialization processes have been optimized to prevent individual background processes from unnecessarily delaying game startup.

Improvements

• The mouse cursor now uses a hardware cursor instead of the previous software cursor.

• This makes mouse movement more responsive and keeps the cursor smooth even under higher system load.

• Overall UI responsiveness has been improved.

• Additional internal optimizations reduce unnecessary CPU usage during gameplay.

Fixes

• Various values within the statistics have been standardized.

• Related statistic views now use the same calculation basis and therefore display consistent values.

• Differences between displayed statistics and the actual calculated game values have been corrected.

• Minor visual and UI issues have been fixed.
