This patch is a big one.

In the last couple of months we've been extremely focused on solving bugs and acting on community feedback. The results are a patch larger than any we've ever released before.

• Added some weight and variation to ragdoll behaviours

This patch contains all the optimization that we did to get the game run on console hardware. It targets CPU-heavy systems where we have seen general improvements overall. It also addresses lag spikes and where lot of AI or physics are in play, lag spikes in specific situations such as VO and resource loading. It should also gives us shorter loading times.

• Lots of code has been moved to less used CPU-cores, and runs more in parallel.
  
• Added multi-level navigation pathing for enemies. So enemies should not get stuck no matter how far away from players they are.
  
• Heavy optimization of all shaders.
