More @StarStable fixes on the particle system.

This Wednesday, we fixed:
- Animated particles on the dragon horse fire now work properly.
- Color on some particles system are now correct.
- Some flashing particles (orbs) disappearing is now fixed.

@StarStable - Fix a shader cache issue that might cause particles to glitch.

If you face problems after the release tomorrow, do not hesitate to contact CS with the details!

Kudos to all the engineering team working hard to give the best experience possible on tomorrow's release. 👐

Unannounced @StarStable updates.

Tomorrow, with Marchenghast, we will also release some technical fixes and performance improvements:

- General performance improvements for iOS and OSX.
- Fix a problem that made particles not visible on some old GPUs.

Remember to update your graphic drivers to get the latest support available from your vendor. https://t.co/7YDYJhqP92

Tomorrow the launcher will adapt to show the minimum requirements that were updated on September last year. https://t.co/A6KIDoDlSs

@Parziyippee Not in general. This will only help in areas with usage of particles.

We will deliver other optimizations during the year, and I plan to comment when that happens.

[Ismael Serrano @Faluk_]

On January 28th, we will release some performance improvements on all platforms. Specifically, updating particles on the GPU instead of the CPU.

This should have a positive impact in areas with heavy usage of particles. Apart from that, you should not feel any negative effect.

[Ismael Serrano @Faluk_]

If after the release, you feel any particles glitches, do not hesitate to let me know and/or contact support at https://t.co/N74V1PdzDq

[Ismael Serrano @Faluk_]

We released a bunch of performance improvements for Android and some Intel drives on @StarStable.

My device doubled FPS with today's update.

@schteppe Proper flag system allows this.

[Ismael Serrano @Faluk_]

I still not get this programming language war that happens everywhere. You have to pickup the tool that fits your objective the best.

[Ismael Serrano @Faluk_]

@schteppe Agree!

[Ismael Serrano @Faluk_]

More official communication about this changes will come out during next week.

If you have any problems do not hesitate to reach to our customer support: https://t.co/N74V1PdzDq

Thank you!

Hello @StarStable players!

Soon, there will be more info in the official channels, but I wanted to give some info in the meantime about the Windows users getting freezes while playing.

[Ismael Serrano @Faluk_]

Because of some devices not being supported by their vendors anymore, we have also updated our minimum requirements, to ensure this problems do not happen: https://t.co/A6KIDoDTI0

@hepandeerus We are going to bring back the old values. Aiming to next week (can't promise). The whole loop balance will be taken with more time in the future.

[Ismael Serrano @Faluk_]

@hepandeerus Agree. This game loop is being reviewed to make it balanced after the last fix.

[Ismael Serrano @Faluk_]

@Phannotfound 2 different filters. The blue filter that we are adding a button to was there also previous years.

The "Save Winter" filter is not there anymore and will not return ever.
