Over The Top: WWI News

[p]Hey everyone![/p][p]First of all, thank you for helping us test the game. Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and it is already helping us make improvements.[/p][p][/p][p]We have just pushed a small patch that addresses some issues we could easily address with a client side patch. If you haven't received the update yet, try restarting Steam to download.[/p][p][/p][p]Changelog:[/p]

• [p]Fixed sniper scopes being off-center when aiming in first-person.[/p]
• [p]Fixed a bug causing VOIP to break for everyone on the server.[/p]
• [p]Fixed VOIP defaulting to 2D instead of proximity-based audio.[/p]
• [p]Reduced screenshake from grenade explosions and other effects. The game should now feel much more playable. (Sorry guys, I have been trying to fix this issue for several playtests now, but only now realized the underlying cause..)[/p]
• [p]Fixed minor UI issues on the Campaign map.[/p]
• [p]Fixed missing directional arrows above Call-Ins, which now properly indicate where they are headed.[/p]
