Armory Preview Cache - v16

Speeds up equipment thumbnails in the Armory and mission briefing by caching rendered previews and preloading their assets.

• Reuses completed previews when switching tabs or reopening equipment menus.
• Covers helmets, armor, capes, primary weapons, secondary weapons and throwables, including pre-select screens and briefing equipment pickers.
• Preloads equipment and weapon attachments, prioritizing current requests and recently viewed items.
• Remembers asset-loading priorities between launches; rendered images remain session-only and first-time previews still need native rendering.
• Keeps the original equipment appearance and live character preview.

Install: Close the game, import Armory-Preview-Cache-v16.zip into Arsenal or HD2MM, enable it alongside Bingus Shared Loader v13 or newer, then Purge / Deploy. With Arsenal's default priority, put the loader last.

The included runtime is the v16 build confirmed working in-game. The package includes the Arsenal cover, installation instructions and manifests. Supported game: Steam build 24826606 / EXE 1.8.45317.0.
