  - Significant  optimizations have been made to the UI. Most of these are aimed at  memory usage and memory management, improving performance, and  stability.

  * Memory usage has been dramatically reduced to help alleviate hardware limitations for players both new and old

  * All Mods should be disabled once the  game has been patched, as they will not reflect optimizations made to  the client and will need to be updated
