Well, the update to TLD finally became available at GOG on the 2nd and I just installed it today.
I must say, I think this version is going to be a keeper.
Hinterland said they did some game optimizations and it seems as if they did. Prior to this update I ran TLD with the graphics set at max, with the exception of SSAO, which would bring my frame rates down to the teens to single digit. Now I can run TLD with SSAO maxed and my frame rates run between 20 and 40.
I should add that I'm running a reasonably low end system for TLD, or at least the GPU.
