You will now find this in your /bin/content/data/settings.ini:
This will allow you to change the way Crawle renders the game. XP Users can't use "Mixed Rendering" (3) so they should try and use Hardware or Software rendering. Normal users can also change their rendering type if they want to try to see other rendering methods for improved performance.
When holding an animal this icon now appears:
This icon will simply allow you to drop it. You can also right-click your character to drop it.
