The installer still creates a new empty folder called "saintlucia". Could someone fix that?

You can delete or ignore it 😁

I suppose you switched to some old version where the mission was called "saintlucia" ?

dev17008-10685 is available.

Speaking of the new parallelization, it would be great to check that the new version does not get slower than the older ones 🤔
The only different there is number of threads used in jobs system. Previously it was always 2 threads, now it is (NumberOfPhysicalCores - 1). However, detection of physical cores number might be buggy --- the numbers are reported near the beginning of game console.

It detected my CPU core count correctly, 12 physical 24 virtual. :)  

Btw just curious but what's the reason, for the cpu core data to not be printed at the top? Next to the cpu name and features like AVX and SSE stuff. 

Not complaining, critiquing or anything, if is like that, it most be because of a good reason.  I just found it odd that's all, because I add to travel down a bit on the console before I saw the cpu core count and thought "why? when there's CPU info already at the top?".

NO, the current 2.12 + installer creates that folder on a new complete install, nothing to do with old versions.

The new installer creates a folder that is not used and then the advice is to ignore it.

Right now core count is printed by job system, and features are printed by SIMD processing system.
From the implementation point, vectorization and multithreading are orthogonal...

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).

      Well then, it's been about a week since I released my first FM and I must say that I was very pleasantly surprised by its reception. I had expected half as much interest in my short little FM as I received and even less when it came to positive feedback, but I am glad that the aspects of my mission that I put the most heart into were often the most appreciated. It was also delightful to read plenty of honest criticism and helpful feedback, as I've already been given plenty of useful pointers on improving my brushwork, level design, and gameplay difficulty.
      I've gotten back into the groove of chipping away at my reading and game list, as well as the endless FM catalogue here, but I may very well try my hand at the 15th anniversary contest should it materialize. That is assuming my eyes are ready for a few more months of Dark Radiant's bright interface while burning the midnight oil, of course!
