No, thats the whole point of the supporter releases, they get the new content first.
The next supporter release is this month! (with some new content, ofc)
... Me too, kid...
This is really weird, but its probably tied to the new RenPy version. (Necessary for the Live2D animations and online newsfeed)
I would say "it works on my machine" but... it even works on my crappy smartphone, even the Live2D animations play without any stuttering.
Honestly... I have NO IDEA why it would lag. All images are compressed as WEBPs now, even more, last update had way fewer images and songs and was like 50Mb heavier than this one.
My best advice yo

ANYONE EXPERIENCING LAG ON PC:
Hold down Shift while starting Ren'Py, or press Shift+G once Ren'Py has started and change the available rendering options.
Added this tip to the game's Newsfeed, so other players can see it too. God, I'm so happy with that thing.
