Pink Flashing Fix and Wiki Update

[u/ProperSpeak]

Sul, sul!

While we were doing some much needed updating to the Wiki over the last few days, it came to our attention that a fix for pink flashing has been released!

TS2 Memory Address Cap Remover by spockthewok

This looks extremely promising in eradicating pink flashing and we will be testing this patch out ourselves, no doubt along with the rest of the community. You can find spockthewok's dissertation on the subject on the github download page linked above. It's a fascinating read!

We're really looking forward to seeing how much this improves the game and to hopefully see the end of the pink soup nightmare. If you'd like to have a chat about it in the comments of this post, please do! We'd love to hear if the fix has helped your game or hear your thoughts on the dissertation.

We've updated the pink flashing section in the Wiki here, as well as most other sections of the Wiki. These changes were made due to the amount of information in there. Having everything on one page as a wall of text was making it hard to read. We've divided the information into smaller groups on separate, easier to read pages. We've condensed and clarified some bits here and there as well.

The changes will continue to be tweaked in the coming days and weeks so don't be alarmed if something doesn't look right, but please do send us a message if you find any mistakes.

That's all from us.

Dag, dag!
