Closed Beta: Update #78

Happy new year everybody! This is the first update of the year, and it is a 'big' one! We are resuming our weekly playtest with the community :) Join our [url=https://discord.gg/Tn63mrwJyH]Discord[/url] to learn how to participate! [h3]ADDED:[/h3] ● Possibility to customize the ammunition loadout for tanks (how many shell of each available type). ● Winter camouflage to german Marder I tank destroyer. ● Winter camouflage to british 16 pdr AT gun. ● Winter camouflage to british 6 pdr AT gun. ● Winter camouflage to british QF 3.7inch AA gun. ● Winter camouflage to soviet 37 mm M1939 61-K AA gun. ● Winter camouflage to soviet 85mm 52-K M1939 AA gun. ● Winter camouflage to soviet M-30 122 mm gun. ● New scroll speed setting in the UI settings. ● New Voices volume setting. [h3]CHANGED:[/h3] ● Updated multiplayer API, various network performance improvements. ● Updated AI Pathfinding API. ● Font throughout the UI of the game. ● Small arms now only deal 1 damage to planes. ● Explosion damage model vs infantry and other soft targets. When within injury radius, it will deal a minimum of 1 damage and a maximum of max HP - 1. In previous game versions, the damage inside the injury radius of an explosion was entirely random (from 0 to max HP). ● Normandy Farm map loading wallpapers. ● Unified UI style for unit spawn selection. ● Panzer III E winter camouflage. ● Changed glass material style/look. ● Added mipmaps to many more textures to improve GPU efficiency. ● Corrected import settings on many textures. ● Shadows style. [h3]FIXED:[/h3] ● Excessive RAM usage (all game's assets were loaded at all times). ● Having negative merit points would allow you to purchase anything that cost merit points. ● Land vehicles exploding every time you got out of them. ● Craters generation would be off sometimes. ● Some vegetation elements were not removed when a crater was spawned (wheat, dry grass, wooden sticks...). ● Potential AI freeze linked to using static weapons. ● Players in spectator mode would appear in the scoreboard. ● Allegedly fixed any UI/flags issues in Frontline. ● Player avatar in the progress menu would be a white square if playing offline. ● Excessively fast scrolling in scrolling areas in the UI. ● Shadows popping when changing quality preset in the settings. ● The new 'voices volume' fixes the fact that voice lines shouted by infantry were too quiet. Turn the volume up and you shall hear them properly now :)
