Empires version 2.28.2 released!

We're happy to announce version 2.28.2 which is live on Steam right now. Changes include:

• Fixed a bug where vehicles were not being destroyed properly when killed.
  
• Fixed squad targets being able to target projectiles.
  
• Fixed a few missile icons having no transparency.
  
• Fixed a bug where the cursor would sometimes disappear if you had net_graph displayed.
  
• Ammo/health crates now use client-side animation instead.
  
• Changed water rendering to hopefully remove artifacting at the intersection between water and displacement.
  
• Changed the health thresholds for building smoke/fire effects:
  
  • Yellow 'unbuilt' smoke stays visible until the building is fully built. (Fades the more HP the structure has)
    
  • Building has over 80% health = 0 smoke/flame particles
    
  • Building has between 60% - 80% health = 1 smoke/flame particles
    
  • Building has between 40% - 60% health = 2 smoke/flame particles
    
  • Building has between 20% - 40% health = 3 smoke/flame particles
    
  • Building has less than 20% health = 4 smoke/flame particles
