fixedCouple of urgent reports came in this week, all addressed today:
changedFiring not registering on Steam Deck / Linux — AGT_ZURU and Bravo51 both flagged that mouse clicks weren't always reading, and holding to fire would cut out after a second or two. Tracked it down to an event-timing quirk on the Linux input backend where "press" or "release" events occasionally get dropped. Reworked the fire input to poll state every frame instead of trusting single events, so a missed click or stuck "release" corrects itself on the next frame. Windows behavior unchanged, same fix covers controller triggers too.
fixedPhosphorus and Napalm DoT zones doing no damage — kuri_ponkotz ("infantry pass through Phosphorus smoke without dying") and STRATOFORTRESS ("napalm dont kills inf") both caught this one. Three stacked bugs from the v0.9.712 DoT rewrite left the damage zones silently inert. All three fixed, both weapons lethal again.
changedWeapon audio toggle renamed and flipped — Thanks to Sycophant for the nudge. "Alt Weapon Audio" is now "Legacy Weapon Audio" and fresh installs start in Modern mode by default. Your save is migrated automatically, you'll keep hearing whatever you had before, just with the right label now.
changedKillfeed showing "102MM" instead of "105MM" — Spotted by marisfori. The 105mm cannon's internal ID is still "102MM" from the old file name, and the killfeed was rendering the ID directly. Now pulls the display name like every other weapon.
