Changelog:

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a bug/exploit that was allowing refineries to be placed at no resource cost.
  • Fixed a bug where the engineer tool kit would not recharge the correct amount if you changed your skills while it was holstered.
  • Fixed the “Just in time” achievement being awarded to the local player even if it was a different player that triggered the achievement.
  • Fixed some issues where the squadleader.cfg file would not execute when expected, leaving you with the wrong key binds if you specified key binds inside the file.

Vehicle Armor

  • Reflective angle modifier effective angle range has been reduced from 5 -> 50 degrees to 2.5 -> 47.5 degrees.
    • This is a direct buff to all armors using the reflective angle modifier script attribute as it will reduce the size of the angle modifier “dead zone” (The zone in which there is no damage reduction).
