New:
Server Menu -now displays count of online Steam Players running H-Hour and count of total players in server rooms
** Profile Privacy settings of other players may impact count of online players
Updated:
TPV Camera Re-adjusted to align with recent character updates and properly reflect the same view design with the original spiritual source project
Weapons Blocking Final tuning to Weapon Blocking framework
Weapon Stats Weapon stats in Armory are now calculated values based on various weapon attributes instead of the original "placeholder" values
Finalized Rifle Butt action - No longer triggered through the "Action" tile system
- Assigned a dedicated key bound by default to V for KBM users (replaces the previous stance change assignment as there are existing Prone/Crouch buttons)
- Assigned a dedicated key bound by default to Left Trigger (L2) for Controller users (this was the key freed up when the Quick Select system was updated to use a single button)
- Performing Melee no longer guarantees enemy death if they can move out of target path/range
- Accommodates player position discrepancies on the server compared to the client (which is why some melee actions didn't kill opponents after a recent update)
- Allows for melee "targeting" via the crosshairs
- Accommodates hit locations on the target to deal varying damage depending on struck body part (head strikes remain fatal)
HDR Support - Completed implementation of HDR support and added two new video options to compensate for displaying of SDR elements in the UI that become "washed out" when HDR mode is enabled
BF(253): Server Menu Player count does not include players in the last server displayed

Intention is that nearby sound level is not decreased, but that sound drops off faster over distance
** continued adjustments may be necessary
BF(712): Ragdolls seem to twirl a lot more
BF(722): Cove - get out of map locations
BF(732): High Caliber Weapon Recoil is excessive
