Bugfixes
Most of the bugs fixed have been reported by the community.
- Fixed a bug where on certain quality settings shadow quality would not be changed correctly.
- Fixed a bug in the worker/army tent, where empty tents were not transparent when the map was loaded from a save file.
- Fixed a crash bug when fading army tents after a map was loaded from a save file.
- Fixed several crash bugs for player AI.
- Fixed a severe problem for units not finding attack targets at their opponents.
- Fixed a bug for the base fog of war, where a "revealer" was not placed high enough, which lead to all kind of different problems, especially units not leaving tents.
- Fixed a bug for buildings that have a fog of war "revealer" -> they are now activated when the building is finished.
- Fixed a rare bug where archers could not kill attackers of army tents due to line of sight problems.
- Fixed missing icons in the research tool-tip for fire, poison and ice arrows.
- Fixed the crash in settings UI finally when changing resolution or refresh rate.
- Fixed the auto-attack setting for squads in army tents, which was not working at all.
- Fixed a bug where army tents would not properly update the navigation mesh.
- Fixed several problems with cool-downs on buttons.
- Fixed possible crash bug in building slot placer in the editor.
- Fixed light layer settings for all lights in prefabs.
- Fixed a bug in input where the camera was not activated when the input was started.
- Fixed decal settings that were not correctly excluded from navigation mesh generation, which led to a lot of different navigation problems.
- Fixed formation UI which showed incarnation button, even though the wizard was not at a node standing on a tower.
- Fixed wizard to slowly vanish into the tower when casting a lot of spells
- Fixed tents not updating correctly when they actually where empty -> this could lead to blocking conquering bases.
Small changes

- Push-back of units looks now a little better, though still more room for improvements.
- Report bug button is now slightly moved to allow edge scrolling.
