[h1]Possible memory leak found 🥳[/h1] QA found a few possible reasons that could affect performance and will dive into fixing them soon. Not to speak the TOTAL tech jibberish: [list] [*] Damage numbers are popping up too much. [*] Too many physical bodies that could be substituted by 2D for the collision. [*] Game constantly recording and reporting data. [*] Enemy model processed separately and not in batches. [*] Background stars were way too detailed. [strike]Yes, there are stars you could not even see[/strike] [*] Background asteroids were actually ... 3D models.[/list] Another funny finding was that Chinese players could not input any text in the game 😰 Because the possible options were not shown 💀 And that the game was triggering China's biggest antivirus as a "network threat".
