That's the build configuration of the binary - if you're a programmer it'd probably make a bit more sense 😊.

At a super high level you can think of how optimized the binary is by the compiler and how many debug features are enabled.

We have four build configurations we use for Anthem (Debug, Release, Final and Retail).

glad to see I was right.

Debug is obvious... by why 3 different fre builds. Different telemetry flags?

Ha, I was too slow! 😊

Yeah basically... Release is where most devs do their work. Final is the closest we can get to retail performance and still have some ability to debug or log things.
