Summary

  • Adds an "Always Update Actors" graphics option.
  • Keeps supported loaded actors updating beyond their usual update-distance gates when the option is enabled.
  • Preserves gameplay-specific distance checks and normal demo/playback behavior.
  • Includes targeted safeguards for actors that need special handling when updating from farther away.
  • Includes a warning that always updating more actors may affect performance.

As I recall, ProxySaw had some problems with this in the recomp. Locking this behind a toggle is a start, but it would still be good to narrow down what breaks and where so support channels are easier to respond to for common issues.

The only bug I spotted was Conga twitching with it on, so I just reverted him back to vanilla.
