Thoughts:

Hey everyone, so I thought I'd get this patch out today so anyone who was having performance issues could experience it at a steady frame rate. There are still areas that will drop 20fps which I will continue to work on optimising but for now I think this is a vast improvement especially with the quality options. As always if you have any bug reports feel free to send them my way and I'll continue to fix them. Thanks so much for playing! :)
