Update: B129 Preview 28

Dear skippers,

Update B129 Preview 28 is now complete and ready to download on the public testing branch. Please take a look at the changelog below, if you would like to find out more!

[h2]Changelog[/h2]
[h3]Optimizations:[/h3]
- Major performance and memory usage optimizations.

[h3]Graphics:[/h3]
- New clothes for sailors on NPC ships.
- Changed naming convention of the temporal anti-aliasing settings and also slightly changed the defaults.

[h3]Missions:[/h3]
- Tutorial missions, aside from the tutorials #3 and #4, and free roams no longer count toward War Badge decoration progress.
- Added more Operation Drumbeat patrol targets to La Rochelle.
- Tweaks to the difficulty displayed in the UI for the campaign missions.
- Regression fix: In tutorial #4 the sailor that panicked was sometimes calming down on his own without requiring player's intervention.
- Regression fix: It wasn't possible to plot a path towards the tutorial target in tutorial #3, if officer was selected.
- Fix: If a game state was being saved and reloaded repeatedly at the certain stages of certain missions, it was possible to receive War Badge progress multiple times for completing them.

[h3]Crew:[/h3]
- Fix: Crew members were sometimes standing in one place opening and closing nearby bulkhead in a loop.
- Fix: Officers that are ordered to take some functional item into the backpack will now restrain from performing orders that would require dropping that item, like bailing the water or carrying the ammunition. It was sometimes making it impossible to for example launch a sonar decoy, because the officer was quickly putting away the decoy right after taking it.

[h3]Localization:[/h3]
- Russian localization update by Hard.
- French localization update by FvJ and Placebo.
- Chinese localization update by SparrowSHEN (Q:173678441).
- Italian localization update by BeeTLe BeTHLeHeM.
- German localization update by Ruby.

[h3]User interface:[/h3]
- Regression fix: Activator icons were appearing at wrong locations after pressing ALT in the map view.

[h3]General:[/h3]
- Game is now making a copy of the previous log file after each start.
- Fix: View mode was sometimes becoming stuck after leaving the hydrophone view.

Yours,
DWS
