[/List]

Agree with Bastiann. I see multiple issues with this change.
1. Was there really a need? Personally I don't feel like there really was.
2. It further complicates AAS rules that are already complicated enough for most players to not fully understand them. Now you have to keep yet 1 more number and quirk in mind.
This matters all the more since we are very limited in terms of accessible visual hints in the UI.
3. It reinforces careless gameplay, aggressive playstyle without any backup fobs at defence flags.

This will increase the number of stalemate games which is already too high.

I'm curious about why and how the Spanish bug, lol what was it about exactly? if I can know.

I was hoping this hotfix would fix the Ins bug on Linux servers. Oh well.

Just wrong encoding. Game engine requires UTF-16 Little Endian encoding for localization files but the "broken" files were encoded in UTF-8.

Amazing update! fixed the 2 main concerning things of the previus update 1.8.0.3 (big blueberries and spanish launcher crash).
anyways theres a bug with wounded deafness, I can still hear the ambient sounds.

Please check the AP antipersonel KITS behavior, the only that works fine is usmc.
as hamas it have a bug that reloads grenade but not trap..
as russian we need to deploy 2 claymores at once (the second one must be faced to the first to detonate both)..
as mec we cant reload..

getting this error gungame albasrah

I think Grozny AAS128 needs to strengthen Russia. The first flag was too close to Chechnya, and Chechnya quickly occupied it. In addition, Hat and Atmine blocked the streets, making it difficult for heavy vehicles to enter the city. In the game just now, Chechnya occupied the last flag within a few minutes, and Russia began to lose a large number of troops, even less than half an hour before the game ended.

is it possible to change volume up/down at mumble %1 instead of %10 ?

i use num -/+ to up/down volume but sometimes it is still to high even tho it is at %10 , since i keep changing it depending on people mic volume levels, it would be great if it is %1 change instead of %10

No it's not.

However, beause Mumble is actually a separate process in Windows, you can change Mumble volume via Windows volume mixer independent of PR volume. See this thread for general ideas how it can be done by using e.g. AutoHotKey viewtopic.php?t=119843

I have ported the .ahk script to version 2 and switched to more versatile volume control app from NirSoft, but I haven't shared the script yet. Maybe some day.

SHADERS:
Added scaled alpha testing for overgrowth, undergrowth, and leaves.
Optimized vertex shaders for dynamic objects.

The recent change in vegetation has caused permanent FPS drops during gameplay, affecting the experience of some players who have weaker PCs. In the Brazilian community, for example, PR has remained and continues to be alive, because of those who have weaker PCs. I ask that you correct this change and leave it as an option for those who play on Medium or High settings.

I recommend clearing shader cache from Launcher -> Support -> Utilities. It may not fix all the issues but since the latest update, it feels like there has been increased number of tech support cases related to shader cache.
