One of the reasons why we're doing this is because we're planning to update the engine again to Unreal Engine 5.2.

This isn't going to be nearly as big as an operation as it was going from Unreal Engine 4 to 5, but it's still going to require a lot of work from our end.

And the main reason why we're updating the engine again is because in the newer version, a lot of the graphics-related crashes will be resolved.

So that's dope.

5.2 also has better VRAM handling, specifically handling the unloading of memory from the VRAM, which is an issue that has impacted our game specifically.

This also unfortunately kind of means that the modding support that's been put in place for Update 8 will break.

But that's further down the line, that's sort of after this little break of us patching on Experimental, so no need to worry about it right now.
