Methane 2.3

[AnOpenSauceDev]

Methane 2.3

This release brings Major, possibly breaking changes to Methane. These are mainly focused around optimizing particle effects.

• 56b15ff - removes Toasts
• 60a7a0a - significantly reduce the performance impact from particles by skipping lightmap lookups with Methane on.
• 4adeea3 - adds the ability to toggle off some slow weather calculations, at the cost of breaking some effects. (can improve performance on weak hardware)

These changes should increase performance up to 2X (vs. vanilla) or more for most players, but some mods might break in the process.

The destructive weather optimizations are off by default (can be toggled) because they mess up a lot of weather effects, but it does offer more performance for those who want it.

Methane Server Utils 2.2 is compatible with this release.
