Miscellaneous Fixes

Fixed the glass material on vehicles showing through fog, especially at a distance.

Known Issues

Occasionally the landscape renderer will not load correctly resulting in black foliage on a map. A fix is being investigated.
Client crash on map switch.
Players will occasionally spawn without ammunition on their first spawn on a server. (This occurs if you were in the match during map travel but did not spawn during the staging phase.)
Occasionally a player will not spawn at Rally Point when numerous players are spawning in at the same time.
Occasionally client crashes in various circumstances: we’re still looking into the crash reports. Detailed crash reports help us fix this and we appreciate those that have filled out and sent crash reports.
Server performance may periodically dip when a server has a high population and high load. We’ll continue to work on performance and optimizations.
Occasionally Self-bandaging fails. Actively investigating the cause.
Mouse widgets (e.g. enter a vehicle, comm rose) can stop responding to clicks. A workaround is opening and closing the deploy screen.
Capture Zone (Flag) Icon will not show on a client’s HUD sometimes.
ATGM projectiles desync for other players that are not gunner, however, what the gunner sees should be the true synced projectile.
Certain effects do not blend correctly with fog on some layers.
HAB Spawn is disabled if FOB Radio is unshovelled below 75%, currently other forms of damage to the FOB Radio (such as explosives) do not disable HAB Spawn. (Under active development.)
De-shoveling a friendly FOB Radio costs 10 tickets. (Fix in progress.)
Local/Offline Bug with Vehicles: When playing offline on Jensen’s Range, Tracks, Wheels, and other components are not destructible while on the Jensen’s Range in Local play.
Local/Offline Bug with Weapon damages: When playing offline on Jensen’s Range, Weapon damages with both Infantry and Vehicle weapons are not accurately replicated.
Territory Control Bug: there is no UI indicator for showing cutoff enemy hexes (hexes that are not linked to the anchor point). Friendly cutoff hexes are showing correctly though.
