Highlights:
- Waypoints: for line construction (hold shift to place a waypoint)
- Larger maps: Instead of 10, there are now 20 map extensions possible, which means that a game area of up to 1,600 km² (40 km x 40 km) can now be unlocked (up to now, up to 576 km² (24 km x 24 km) were possible)
- Performance:
- Optimisation of performance, especially with high numbers of employees and buses
- Optimisation of RAM consumption and fixing of memory leaks and resulting crashes (e.g. when building long lines, ordering many buses, painting)
- Significant optimisation of the loading time and new faster save and load system, which also prevents the "Unexpected Mark Stack Overflow" error from occurring after the next save (the loading time of old savegames is still very high until they have been loaded and saved once with the new version)
*Tested on large savegame with maximum company premise size in 4K with i7-9700K, RTX3070, 32GB RAM.
