IMPROVEMENTS:

• Some progress regarding the integration of EAC.
  
• The vehicles parameters are back to normal.
  
• The admin password supports now all the characters except the spaces and '='.
  

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Basic modules of EAC integrated.
  
• The admin powers are now secured by a password only known by the server owner, you can find the auto-generated password in the config.cfg file of your server and modify it if you want to.
  

CHANGES:

• FIXED: The connected players cannot be invisible in the player list anymore.
  
• FIXED: Avoid that a player can enter a base just after his connection.
  
• FIXED: The players cannot be "pushed" into a base by a shark anymore.
  
• FIXED: The players cannot use a door to get to the upper floor.
  

DISCOVERED ISSUE:

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

IMPROVEMENTS:

• The current anti-cheat system has been improved.
  
• Trying to secure the ban command to avoid that anyone else but the admins can use it.
  
• Command added to clean the ban list in-game (unban all).
  
• The characters "<" and ">" cannot be used anymore in the chat.
  

CHANGES:

• FIXED: The containers (furnaces, braziers and storage boxes) don't disappear anymore when they are placed.
  
• FIXED: Using the admin modes should stay active for the players who connect after that the modes have been enabled.
  

DISCOVERED ISSUE:

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

IMPROVEMENTS:

• The server list now manages the official servers.
  
• The client and server perfs should be improved, especially the bandwidth usage.
  

CHANGES:

• FIXED: Dead bodies were spawning in the middle of the map instead of the player's death position.
  
• FIXED: Sometimes, a player can be found hanging in the air (usually inside a shipyard), in fact, it is a "ghost" of a connected player who is actually somewhere else in the game. The bad part is that killing the ghost will also kill the player...
  

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

IMPROVEMENTS:

• The Network Culling has been rewritten - The performances of both client and server should be way better, the network is also way less heavy on both sides.
  
• A line have been added to the config.cfg file (server side): "time_between_saves=900" you can modify this value (from 300 to 10800) to to delay more or less the recordings in the database by the server, remember that if you use a high value, a roll back will be possibly more significant (the maximum being the time you have chosen).
  
• The desyncs caused by the access of the database by the server are now handled in the client, informing the player of the saving process, freezing his movements.
  
• Now able to /w people based on their network ID.
  
• The FPS cap on the client has been unlocked.
  

CHANGES:

• FIXED: Trying to solve the issue for the players who stay stuck in the loading screen when trying to connect to a server. (Round 4)
  
• FIXED: The server was potentially able to erase a big part of its own database (especially the vehicles part, because it's the last thing loaded during the initialization) because the server was capable to save its current state even if the original datas haven't been entirely loaded. In other words, if the initialization of the server took more than the delay before the first save loop (480 seconds atm), the save has erased the unread data.
  
• FIXED: The players should not die anymore when connecting to a server. (drowning ~ falling damage ~ etc)
  
• FIXED: "flying" boats.
  
• FIXED: The jumps should not fail anymore when pressing the jump button.
  

KNOWN ISSUES:

• Some spikes can follow this update when the client is connected to a server with many buildings, especially when traveling at high speed.
  
• The sounds on the vehicles can be a bit weird.
  

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

THIS BRANCH ISN'T PLAYABLE, IT'S ONLY DEDICATED TO TESTING.

IMPROVEMENTS:

• The whole network system should be more stable.
  
• The send buffer size has been increased on the server side.
  
• A line has been added to the config.cfg file (server side) to let the hoster decide the hour of the automatic daily restart of the server. If the value is set to "-1" the daily restart will be disabled.
  

CHANGES:

• FIXED: Trying to solve the issue for the players who stay stuck in the loading screen when trying to connect to a server. (Round 3)
  
• FIXED: The Desync problem should be slightly reduced. (Round 1)
  
• FIXED: A server side bug have been fixed (invisible for the clients), it might have affected the performances of some very populated servers.
  

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

IMPROVEMENTS:

• An option has been added to invert the mouse.
  
• There is now a more detailed message appearing on screen when the connection is denied.
  

CHANGES:

• FIXED: Trying to solve the issue for the players who stay stuck in the loading screen when trying to connect to a server. (round 2)
  
• FIXED: The ban command is now working properly.
  
• FIXED: The servers should not crash anymore when someone is sending a huge number of messages through the chat.
  
• FIXED: A problem with the game settings (getting stuck with the confirmation pane) should be solved.
  
• FIXED: The disconnect button doesn't close the game anymore.
  
• FIXED: The lists of the clan menu are not inverted anymore when you open the menu for the first time.
  
• BALANCE: You have now a small chance to find copper scrap in the scrap metal piles.
  
• BALANCE: The blowtorch can't be found in the green crates anymore.
