NFS Carbon NX 1.1.0-collectors-beta.1 (Collector's Edition, beta)

Needs your own Collector's Edition game files and a CPU overclock (CPU 1428 / GPU 768 / memory 1600 MHz).

Recommended only for people willing to test. It can still run behind the Standard Edition.

What's new

• ⚡ Much faster game code: 20% smaller, close to Standard's FPS at the same scene load in a 34-minute test (the first beta was 5 to 10 FPS behind)
• 💾 Less memory in long sessions
• ⚙️ Quick settings page: hold L+R and press Right
• 📄 Easier reports: every log names the build that wrote it

Known issues

• Slower than Standard in some scenes, mostly race wars
• Flickering shadows in race wars (many AI cars): black patches for a few frames, cause unknown
• Audio crackle for a few seconds at a heavy race start
• Limited testing: one 34-minute session; reports on cutscenes welcome
• Quick settings: some wording is unclear, and "Save to config" removes the comments from nfscarbon.toml
• Achievements not confirmed

If you send an issue report, I will address it.
