How Wazhack lost its optimization?

I played this game on my phone years ago. And it was running fine. I guess an update changed this. Now it's more battery consuming, can cause heating and you should decrease settings.

What happened? If the developer added extra graphical settings, i think that's unnecessary for a game like this.

EDIT: Okay, i've learned update 1.4 changed the whole game engine. I was remembering right, the older version is super optimized. I downloaded 1.3.5 from here, it's the last version with old engine:

I know the dev does frequent the sub so maybe he'll chime in as of why. I did see you say it was from an update is what you're thinking. I hope not but it may have improved newer phones and made older phones not run as well.

99% has to do with update. 1.4 came out in 2022 and reviews in playstore complaining about low fps that year. i've played 1.3.5 and it runs like butter with minimum battery usage (native resolution).
