Starting today, a new operation will take place in the game. By completing contracts and winning matches, you will accumulate operation points and earn unique rewards, including new weapon mods and two sets of camouflage for stormtroopers - the Killer Set for the BEAR stormtrooper and the Apache set for the USEC stormtrooper. And for the maximum level of operation, you will get a new unique stormtrooper weapon. Compact assault rifle Galil Ace 31 chambered for 7.62x39mm, produced by IWI.
Also, we have changed the system of gaining the operation experience, now for winning a match you will receive 150 points of experience, not 25 as the last time, but for fulfilling contracts, the amount of received operation experience is reduced by about 2 times compared to the previous operation.
With the start of the operation, we've also made some changes in the game.
List of changes:
The combat interface rework has started, which will continue in the next patch. Please leave your feedback about the new interface so that we can take it into account for future changes.

Tips for improving game performance.
Attention, mercenaries!
If you have Windows 10 operating system installed on your computer, have problems with optimization, or sometimes" it seems " that the mouse stops working and reacts very poorly to movements, do the following:
1. In the Steam library, right-click on the game->Properties.
2. Go to the folder with the game through the " View local files..."
3. In the folder with the game, click the right mouse click on the game shortcut hops.exe, select "Properties". Then select "Compatibility". 4. Check the "Disable full-screen optimization" option.
5. In Windows, be sure to disable the Xbox DVR. You can do this either through the Xbox app itself or through the registry.
More information on how to do this is described here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=801742419
We are waiting for feedback from you, in the comments, whether it helped solve in-game problems.
