Anything related to PR, release planning and any other non-technical idea how to move the project forward should be discussed here.

And it's been done as a release build with the extra flags to generate PDBs added to the build flag settings rather than being a RelWithDebInfo build with the setting to have the console disabled, right?

Yep, and I realized I'd forgotten to enable LTO as well, so it's a full Release build with LTO and /Zi or /debug flags where necessary.

It's probably worth posting the PDBs somewhere so we can diagnose crashes in the RC (if any more of them happen).

The macOS RC7 has worked for me on a 2017 MacBook running OS 11.4. Loading times are longer than in 0.46 and play is sometimes a little choppy, but that may reflect this machine's age and Intel graphics. Editing some plugin scripts in the CS worked fine, again with noticeably longer load times.

Unlike earlier RC's (and like 0.46 and before), the game launched without a "too many open files" error, without requiring system tweaks... I don't know whether this is due to changes in the code since the last RC or because I've simplified my mod list in the meantime, but it is welcome either way.

Possibly because of changes in lighting system and also other features that are now online. We also take more care in setting things up, as to make sure we're not in a crashy state. We've been working on performance in 0.48... the basic: implement feature for release, then polish for next release.

You have OP/AG turned on? Have you tried messing around with the types of lighting? We default to shader based lighting by default now in 0.47

Thanks for the response! I don't think performance has suffered much compared to 0.46, apart from loading times. This is a pretty underpowered machine for gaming. I have gone to legacy mode for lighting, which may have helped a little, and disabling "build nav mesh" in the options at startup did away with much of the increase in load times. No complaints here, though further optimization in later versions would be welcome, too.

How to get 0.47.0 RC5 for Windows x86_64?
Linux is cool but Windows is stil more popular for games.

I also use save\load abuse to get better loot from Balmora boxes (enchated rings, weapon, etc). AND i feel that openmw 0.47.0 is slower than 0.46.0 which i have along on my windows 8.1. When I load F9 then i see message (build navigation mesh) in load screen. I guess this is new feature that allow to move NPC more freely on gorund and build its route as it wants. But building navigation mesh feature is slow down quickload process (more time demanding, and i feel it exactly when i play in 0.47 rather than 0.46). I hope it was noticed and fixed in RC5-6 or I can try to describe it more detailed to help fix.

Sorry for my bad grammar, I'm not native eng speaker.
