addedIf the game crashes for a user who has a mod installed or has unzipped templates (from the .zip introduced in the last update) then the game will display a popup after the crash warning the player that the crash might be caused by modding, as we're getting a lot of crashes reported that are caused by mods!
changedSteam Cloud saves will now also track the backup save folder, as some players (e.g. those on Windows 11) were finding that their saves were not syncing.
addedIf an aircraft has the afterburners enabled, their weapons will display their fire arc outlines but the green fill will be removed. Also the afterburner button "on" state has been made a bit brighter. This is intended to avoid the situation where users have accidentally left the afterburners enabled and been confused about why the interceptor weapons are not firing.
