Updated to version 4.3


After finally switching from Windows 7 to Windows 10 I was more than somewhat horrified to find that the puzzle client software had a major lag issue that would occur after a few minutes for the passive update loop and a few seconds for the dynamic one (where settings that involve elements that need to be redrawn constantly are enabled). This lag turned out to be caused by the FlipBuffers() command in PureBasic.

After a fair amount of reductive debugging in the main program and attempting to duplicate the problem in a fresh and much simpler test program I finally tracked the issue down to some convolution of the DirectX9 graphics subsystem that PureBasic uses by default. Changing the subsystem to DirectX11 or OpenGL made the problem go away, but also introduced new issues that needed to be dealt with.

So the graphics subsystem has been changed to DirectX11, which fixes the problem. Hopefully it doesn't cause any more additional issues. If you find anything amiss then please report it via the Reddit support forum or the product's forum here on Itch.io.
