Other Changes

• Changed up how enemies will try to get themselves out of corners if they walk into them.
  
• Formally removed enemy learning, was making everything more complicated rather than actually adding anything (was only changing how fast enemies spot you, and what weapon they started with, which didnt do anything).
  
• Heavy optimization, the game should run considerably better now. (For perspective, I'm getting approximately 70% better performance compared to 0.8.2.0.)
  
• As I've updated to a new compiler, I'm expecting a lot of issues, based on testing I fixed everything I could find. That doesnt mean I've fixed everything though.

• Fixed a bug where the auto-backup would overwrite the quicksave. (backups weren't even working properly.)
  
• Exporting was also doing this.

• Added a "cooldown" so enemies won't follow footsteps/dead enemies right away after losing sight of you.
  
• Fixed an issue with the career mode selection when having too many characters.
  
• Career mode no longer starts in ng+, if you thought the difficulty was too high, chances are this is the reason.

Other Changes

Other Changes
