Another one! We're racing to get 0.6 done before it hits Live servers, and this one has a few cool fixes and improvements to talk about. Main one is hitreg fixes. Thanks to our community bughunting (Rozmo and Lugresky leading the charge on finding problems), we've isolated and fixed a bug with hitreg that potentially is responsible for 99% of the problems we've had left after the last patch. We still need to make sure and test it properly, but preliminary testing shows great promise.
Another one is penetration fixes. We've found that some buildings on Smolensk didn't work with the current system, so we've updated it to take into account how those are built. Thanks to that we should have all the tools to make this system work as intended finally.
There's a lot collision and other map fixes in this one as well, along with some minor performance improvements (especially on low settings).
