We have just published an update fixing various bugs and issues, including a critical problem which prevented some players from starting a game. That's not all, however, as the patch also brings a host of balancing and modding/editor improvements. [h2]Full Change Log:[/h2] [h3]Critical Fix[/h3] [list] [*] Fixed a bug causing the local server to not launch when it could not register with Steam. This prevented some players, especially in China, from starting games (both single-player and multiplayer). [/list] [h3]Balancing Changes[/h3] [list] [*] Pz.Kpfw. II Flamm Ausf. A "Flamingo": A 10-second cooldown has been added for reusing smoke grenade launchers. [*] FOG Flamethrowers (including those mounted on the T-34): [list] [*] Flamethrower range was reduced from 70 to 60 meters. [*] Reduced damage against medium and heavy armored vehicles. [/list] [*] Single foxholes now take twice as long to dig and can collapse from seismic damage, similar to trenches. [*] Reduced the maximum accuracy penalty for the Willys AT jeep's grenade launcher when firing through smoke. [*] Reduced the damage of machine guns (without AA mode) against aircraft. [*] Adjusted the calculation of crew efficiency effects on accuracy and reload speed for various vehicle weapons. [*] Fixed flamethrower usage by soldiers — now they fire from a distance as intended. [*] Reduced the distance at which infantry decides to engage in close combat. [*] Vehicles now travel at maximum speed without requiring a double-click. [/list] [h3]UI[/h3] [list] [*] Fixed a rare bug that caused game loading to stop. [*] Improved the responsiveness of the selected unit panel. [*] The hotkey for direct control by holding a button (default: CTRL) is now rebindable. [/list] [h3]Mod Support[/h3] [list] [*] The game will insist on adjusting mod order if mods are enabled but set in the wrong order. [*] The default_disabled flag is now ignored in the .info file—all packages are disabled by default (except those with the activate_always flag). [*] Some resources related to humans and their animations have been moved to a different .pak file. [/list] [h3]Editor[/h3] [list] [*] Disabled recalculation of SceneExplorer lists after loading a map and when changing screen resolution. [*] Clearing the road list now works correctly. [/list] [h3]General Fixes[/h3] [list] [*] Fixed a rare crash that could happen when dropping items. [*] Fixed damage calculations for units removed from the map. [*] Fixed loading of infantry units without suppression parameters. [*] Fixed a vulnerability that allowed direct control of airstrike planes. [*] Fixed a bug which allowed the M4A4 Crocodile to continue using the flamethrower with a broken fuel trailer. [*] Anti-tank hedgehog debris no longer bounces when dismantled. [*] Fixed an issue where all grass could suddenly rotate in the same direction upon location loading. [*] Optimized the fuel tank explosion effect. [*] Fixed the exhaust effect position for the KV-85 tank. [*] Fixed the model of a destroyed KV-1S tank. [*] Minor fixes in the "Death from Above" mission.
