lmao
I started poking around in the game's data folder (for god knows what reason bc I do not know what I'm doing and def could've hard-crashed my computer), made a new folder and moved the two biggest "shared assets" files into it (the two biggest files are like an entire gigabyte put together), and ran the game as if this stupid idea would magically pay off.
(first coupla times I did this it just gave me a white screen, but alt-f4 closed it with no fuss so I was feeling cocky)
ig those are where all the textures are cuz the office loaded in quick as you please with no textures 'XD had to quit immediately and put everything back where it was. I for sure couldn't make a first-person game, even just noclipping (funnily enough) freaks me out too much
