Development Branch Changelog

EXE rev. 140099 (game)
EXE rev. 140101 (launcher)
Size: ~940 MB (depends on Apex ownership) DATA Tweaked: The "Fire at that medic" radio protocol sentence replaced with a more generic sentence (e.g. "Fire at that soldier.") was removed due to unexpected sandbox issues Fixed: The CAR-95-1 weapon had an incorrectly configured bipod (https://feedback.bistudio.com/T122239) Fixed: The Intel icon could be misplaced in End Game scenarios if placed above or under the water surface (e.g. sheds on the shores) Fixed: The Phase indicator was not visible in the Respawn Screen in End Game scenarios Fixed: Seize scenarios would end seconds after starting with not respawn limit set Tweaked: The starting position of the Splendid Camera now exactly matches the previous view Added: Pressing the ESC key in Splendid Camera now opens the Pause Menu. To exit the camera, click on the "CLOSE" button there. Fixed: Wrecks of the Wipeout and Buzzard airplanes were levitating Apex Protocol (potential spoilers) Eden Editor Fixed: Eden Editor attributes which were using combo interfaces (e.g. a drop down menu) didn't have the current value selected by default in some cases Tweaked: Behavior of the 'Center on Selected' function in the Eden Editor (the F key by default). It now works with layers (the position of the first entity found in the layer is used) and the camera is no longer moved when only an empty layer is selected. Added: When no player is present for an Eden Editor preview, Splendid Camera is opened by default ENGINE Fixed: It was not possible to unhide an object hidden via an attribute or init script in some cases Fixed: The server browser overflowed with data could discard some of it in some cases (making mod signature checking delayed or canceled) Added: Support for (helicopter) drones to output a 'fake' RPM value (for SFX e.g.) Added: Support for the abs command in simple expressions Fixed: Crash (to desktop ;)) connected to AI driving Fixed: fadeRadio would affect playMusic 64-bit Fixed: PiP Night Vision would not be displayed correctly in 64-bit executables LAUNCHER Added: A message in the server details informing when not all information about mods or signatures can be transmitted Tweaked: BattlEye messages are displayed without trimming on the BattlEye page
