Interesting, quite a few of the fixes players noticed, and quite a few that they didn't Strange though that so many noticed generally improved friendly and enemy a.i., but its not mentioned here -- unless that falls under the 'improved on and offline stability' heading.

[A BUTTED MONK3Y]

A lot that we didn't notice

[BLACKPANTHERVII]

Well nothing here mentioning how they fixed vehicle controls a bit and also now people not on host can use wepaons in tanks now too.. well they kill stuff now yay

Maybe now they have fixed a number of correlated issues, the AI behave exactly how they were designed to

Swines!!! No more "easy hip shot", nice list, more to come in the new year?

[stealth finger]

Had hoped for more to be honest but i'll take it

[GunGrave TZA]

Great patch list, Helios. I did not come accross a majority of the issues fixed, but it's still a great list.

Quick question, though: Is the fix with the 'corpse looting inventory when a character is killed' the glitch where a corpse just stays frozen in the air in it's animation position?

[Fieni]

Two major fixes still missing (and still no info whether or not these will be fixed ever):

1. Drawing distance of grass and bushes
2. Free look in vehicles
