fixedThis will probably be the only time we will report on an beta client update as an announcement, but we just wanted to share som important news. The beta client has made what it was supposed to do; Test out experimental fixes that actually worked as users reported the last game-breaking bug to be fixed. From here on out the route is pretty much straight forward again. Sadly we have to do a compromise as this fix forces us to update NW.js which breaks Greenworks (Achievements/Overlay) support. We decided as we are pretty sure Greenworks will be fixed at some point, that in the next stable update this month (If the last beta client update goes smooth) we will update NW.js so the Overlay and Achievements will not be available normally. However we will upload a 1.9.2 version with Overlay and Achievement support as an extra branch for those that wants Achievements / Overlay. Wo do it like this because we feel like a working game is more worth than a partially working game with achievements, that's why we will roll this fix (Which only affects a portion of people as only some experienced that bug) out for all SoW players as a Stable update. As a sneak preview we include the pre-patch notes for 1.9.2 here:
changedChanged:Changed render from Back-to-Front render to Front-to-Back render.
removedChanged:Buttons are now disabled when paused to prevent a Money bug abuse.
changedFix:Bullet collision wasn't registered properly at fast-forward.
fixedFix:Loading Screen stuck/crash is fixed.
changedUpdated:Engine updated to v208.
