3.11.2 Technical Patch

Great. These changes are very welcome to see! The very last update that will take an age to complete.

Would be really nice to have more than an hour's notice when this goes live. Downloading something this size is going to be intrusive, even on the best systems.

nice

Very nice!

More improvements always welcome :)

Can someone explain how you going to fracture your maps without Harvest? The only way this will be vaiable again is if Beyond is on the Zana mod pool no?

Thanks! Great news.

For the technical folks in the room. Can we have a technical post with the insights, lessons learned and maybe some techniques showroom of what has been done technically and can be share as good old fashion open source spirit?

I'm really curious about the data caching and sync strategy.

Nice 😀 Thx

Others asked whether they'd still want to use the ggpk defragmenter after this change. I assume that actually this is a file format change, and the defragmenter will cease working.

So the real questions:

Will there still be a benefit to defragmenting, in terms of shrinking storage space?

Will the new file format be documented for 3rd party tool builders, so someone can build such a defragment tool?
