This update is also only accessible by switching to our Experimental branches (instructions on how to do so here) - although please be aware they have slower load times and worse performance than normal builds due to the extra logging they contain!
I would not recommend starting a new campaign playthrough on this update, as I'll be releasing a more significant balance update later this week that will require starting a new campaign to see the changes. If you're thinking about starting a new playthrough, probably best just to wait for that one!
Bugfixes:
Fixed another example of the 90% loading hang / crash bug, again linked to specific jungle maps.
Fixed another example of the AI turn hang, this time related to Symbiotes spawning on tiles with other units.
If you hover over a soldier minitab at the top of the tactical UI, pressing C to crouch will now correctly cause the selected soldier to crouch (not the one you're hovering over).
Gameplay Changes - Strategy:
Soviet Union region bonus is now a -25% Upkeep reduction (down from -30%)
North America region bonus is now +10 Soldier Starting Experience (up from +5)
Failing a terror site now causes -35 Panic, not -20 Panic
Gameplay Changes - Tactical:
Wraith cloaking is now inactive by default, and activates if the Wraith takes damage. The defence bonus per tile has increased to 3 per tile (from 1.5 per tile). This should make Wraiths a bit easier to deal with - but more importantly, it should now be possible to distinguish between different ranks of Wraith on the battlefield.
The Cyberdrone weapon is once again a direct-fire weapon rather than an arc weapon, which means it will lose accuracy if fired through smoke. The weapon is also now not capable of performing reaction fire.
All thrown grenades now have -2 tiles of range.
Smoke grenades of all types now generate a substantially larger cloud of smoke.
Fixed Cleaners attacking civilians on the Rescue Soldiers mission.
Added updated movement sounds and attack sounds for the Symbiote.
