Patch - 1.2.7.17.9.3

If your experiencing crashes/instability please try a Steam Verify/Display Drivers update before contacting us.

[h3]Week Goals:[/h3]

This week our goal is to wrap up 1.2 on experimental expect a few days of bleed over possibly if any fatal bugs/issues are encountered.

The next 2 days will be Rioting/Non-Lethal Weapons in the form of the Bean bag Shotgun. Then Dynamic Civilian Groups will form that hate you if you ignore their rioting when a zone enters yellow status for too long or you declare martial law for to long. (Up to Wednesday-Thursday)

The following 2-3 days will conclude 1.2 with Civilian Automation & Evacuation.

If a zone is set for intake based on ROE the zone will follow a preset template you can customize.

You will be required to station a scientist at the zones Civilian Admin structure with the detection weapon or build detection towers at these points to determine infection status if research allows.

Base templates:

Unknown
-Cage
-Wait (Wait 8-16 minutes to determine if infected)

Infected
-Euthanization
-Shoot on sight
-Turn away

Not infected
-Holding area (Till Helicopter arrives)
-Helipad

• Further Optimizations to the Anim Blueprint based on profiling data
  
• Removed all bodies and blood decals from Treasure Island Levels. (To Prepare for Dynamic placement in the future)
  
• Converted 12,873 assets to removable clutter; on Angel Island and Treasure Island, so far. More conversions to follow.
  
• We now turn off Infection Structures ability to hear and see via a new thread to save performance if no CERC unit is within 20k UU. This should improve the reliability of vision and framerate improvements in mid to late game.
  
• Fixed up some AnimInstance_Base C++ logic in relation to mob units, as well, so Mob Units properly recognize which unit is their owner, instead of being 'unowned' and thus always standing still or walking
  
• Evac load fix to try to stop some civvies from going to the wrong evac pad when loading saves and getting 'stuck'
  
• Melee Expliot for Infected fixed that could cause them to double melee
  
• Rioting system improvements
  
  • Suppressing a riot via stamina damage (right now, only way to do this is with sandbag shotgun) will now lead to Riot Suppressed for that Civvie Spline: it will not resume rioting until 10 real life minutes pass (accounting for slo-mo, etc.)
    
  • Rioting civvies will harm your reputation in a zone. This stops when riot is suppressed.
    
  • 'Last riot suppression time' (for the 10 min cooldown) saved/loaded
    
• Fixed CERC solider aimnode being to "responsive" at times
