DFS Spring Cleaning Update

Mar 10, 2020 @ 5:15pm - Disp

Hey all!

With this update we'll be optimizing our server files and download times while updating our content pack thread with new asset packs and an updated map pack!

To lighten the overall size of our custom content, some larger maps, older models and other content have been removed as well. We welcome your feedback as always and encourage you to let us know if you have any suggestions or bug reports for our servers!

Feel free to visit DFS Content Pack thread[dfs.boards.net] for more info regarding content packs!

Optimization & Content Pack Updates

Added new packs to the Content Pack thread[dfs.boards.net] DFS Boards thread:
