    IIRC the framework it‘s built on is so ancient it didn‘t allow for that, they needed to re-write the whole thing to „fix“ it, and this is what they came up with for that. DF‘s Alex said as much in one of their podcast episodes. All just paraphrased by me of course.

    I don‘t think the performance hit is by design or intentional anyway, so hopefully the current screw-up is gonna be a nothing burger by the time the app‘s mandatory (if it ever will be).

      I am highly skeptical of that. There are plenty of hobbyists making new things in ancient environments. I just don’t think Nvidia has ever been very competent at software engineering (drivers excepted as they’re in a very different domain)
