Patch Analysis (Hidden Changes)

If we knew the sound bug could be fixed! (Relic believe the sound bug occurs when the screen is being scrolled rapidly and anecdotal evidence from players supports this. When trying to fix the bug they added camera tracking to replays to try and establish if this link was correct.However the sound bug refused to play ball and show up in replays with the same camera movements as the live games in which it occured so back to the drawing board...)

Do we have any data concerning performance fixes in this patch? Playing the game feels much smoother for me now, like the framrate has gone up, and when I leave the game after the game ends, I get to the statistics screen immediately. In the patch before I got a black screen that lastet up to several minutes.

Also, they did some design changes to the screen where you can veto maps.

Unfortunately all camera actions are still client-side. The camera entity is not networked and it's values are not CRC'd in any way. There is also no camera data in replays.

The "Follow player" feature is implemented by centring the camera on the last action a player performed. For example, if the player gives a move command to a squad, the camera centres on the destination of the move command.

Note that squad selection (what units the player has currently selected) is also not networked or stored in replays, thus the "Follow player" feature does not move the spectator camera as the player selects and deselects units.

I haven't tried the new mode but my understanding is that the replays do now contain the original camera inputs as relic stated that they did this to track if the sound bug was caused by a combination of camera movemenabd game events. I hadn't thought about the network side but it wouldn't be much data to add

My assumption may be wrong

My list, of which some versions I already posted in twitch chats earlier but this should more or less be final.

Weapons that relic forgot to reapply accuracy buffs to so effectively nerfed:
Partisan DP28 -15% (LMG42 Partisans, Irregulars...but Irregulars did not lose squad bonus so +-0)
Partisan SVT -15% (Rifle Partisans)
Partisan Mosin -15% (LMG42 Partisans)

what does rapid conscription working on irregulars mean? it now produces them or they now count towards its count (rapid con is in the same doc as irregulars?)?
