	:*'''Load Time Graphics Batching:''' This feature was turned on for a handful of maps in R68 and showed great improvements. For several players, this increased overall frame rate by more than 10 fps and all saw some gains. This comes with a small memory trade off so it will be disabled for low memory systems. It also introduces a few seconds of additional load time so players who believe their frame rate is already great can choose to turn it off.		:*'''Load Time Graphics Batching:''' This feature was turned on for a handful of maps in R68 and showed great improvements.

			:*'''Shield of Air Balance:''' The math for the focus conversion values have changed slightly for R69 to help balance this skill. Previously the conversion was based on skill level + Dex/3. For R69 this formula will be skill level + Dex/5. Since this might have a dramatic impact on a handful of players' strategies, all Air spells and also Train Dexterity have been set to 100% XP return when set to unlearn.
			:*'''Free Attack Damage Balance:''' Previously free attack gave a bonus that was linear based on the number of ticks charged. For R69 this math will be changed slightly so that it is on a slight curve with higher ticks having reduced damage. For single tick charging, there is no reduction relative to previous releases. Higher tick count reductions can be seen in the list below. Since this has the potential to more heavily impact the play style of archers, all ranged skills have been set to return 100% experience on unlearn for this release.
			::*2 ticks = 1.9% reduction
			::*3 ticks = 3.9% reduction
			::*4 ticks = 5.8% reduction
			::*5 ticks = 7.4% reduction
			::*6 ticks = 8.9% reduction
			::*7 ticks = 10.0% reduction
			::*8 ticks = 11.5% reduction
