  • Compression codecs for textures/audio affecting cold load.
  • Threading models in WASM ports impacting physics-heavy titles.

Set a quarterly calendar reminder to read your engine’s breaking changes section only—skip marketing fluff.

Builder actions

  • Maintain device lab of one iPhone + one budget Android.
  • Log load time beside feature work in changelog.
