Hey squaddies!

Hey, squaddies!

We're still hard at work eliminating bugs that cropped up after the Beta 19 release and, with that in mind, we've got another hotfix to help. The fixes included today are:

• Fixed a client performance issue related to maps using power/telephone cable causing a drop in FPS on Manic-5, Nanisivik, and other maps using the blueprint.
  
• Fixed formatting and characters in the server browser. (Welcome back, apostrophes!)
  
• Fixed a crash that happened when a client had music volume set to 0% and then reduced global volume below 10%.
  
• Fixes for WheelFX, UGL smoke optimization, as well as mortar smoke, and smoke overdraw optimization.Fixed Vehicle Smoke Canister (Curtain) FX visibility beyond 40 meters.
  
• Fixed Vehicle Smoke Generator and Vehicle Smoke Canister creating an unintended suppression effect.
  
• Improvements to the ability to push client updates without the need for servers to update.
  
• Increased FTL spotted marker limit from 1 to 3.
  

We're still whittling away at the remaining issues, especially those with the SDK, AMD FX, and some Intel Xeon CPUs,  so we should have another update for you soon.

Hey, squaddies!

We’re pushing out a hotfix to help address the issues that have cropped up since the release of Beta 19.

This patch contains:

• Fixed a compatibility issue causing older CPUs to be unable to launch Squad after the release of Beta 19.
  
• Added a host of changes aimed at improving performance, as well as the biggest FPS drops on Al Basrah, Mutaha, and Tallil. We will continue to keep an eye on this.
  

Your feedback is appreciated!A special thank you to the server owners who continue to help us improve server stability! Further, we’re working on the client-side issues, SDK-related issues, and the problems with lag and latency. We’ll update you soon.

Thank you and stay safe out there, soldiers.
