• This update brings many changes to both Conquest and Finnish missions and will likely break any current saves you have for both. If you wish to continue playing through your current saves for these missions and Conquest, we recommend switching to the previous version V1.053.0 in the “properties/betas” tab until you complete them and are ready to start fresh on the new content
  
• To take full advantage of the new graphical improvements (HBAO, etc), it’s recommended that you delete the shader cache (Documents/my games/gates of hell/shader_cache)
  
• If you switch to the new “Maximum” graphic preset and then revert to an older game version, your game will crash, because this new preset doesn’t exist in the older builds
  If that happens, you will need to return to the newest game version and lower the preset back to anything other than ‘maximum’. That way, you can revert to the older versions

  ** Special note: Player placed mines, player built Finnish AA gun, and vehicles that are abandoned or simply damaged but repairable do NOT persist on purpose. There are several technical and gameplay reasons for this decision.
  3) Added to Conquest Operation "WIN" screen a new option to select your next operation size. (No longer forced into 'unlimited' operation)

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1343070/Call_to_Arms_Panzer_Elite/

• Added new feature to the cooperative gamemode that allows the hosts to change how purchased reinforcements are distributed to the players
  
• Fixed recently introduced crash for conquest when resupplying or buying new units on the campaign screen
  
• Fixed crash if an explosion occurs before the GUI is entirely created
  
• Fixed crash during scene destruction

• Call to Arms - Gates of Hell was the first game on this engine to introduce interchangeable 3rd and direct control views.
  
• We now have a queuing system for ranked battles on our official Discord[discord.com].

• Added new feature to CooP lobby of skirmish/campaign missions (not conquest) that allow the hosts to change how purchased reinforcements are distributed the players:
  - If on, enables reinforcements to go to the player who buys the unit from the reinforcements tab
  - If off, reinforcements are distributed evenly to all players regardless of who buys the unit
  
  
• Fixed recently introduced crash for conquest when resupplying or buying new units on the campaign screen
  
• Fixed crash if an explosion occurs before GUI is fully created
  
• Fixed crash during scene destruction
  
• Fixed sync of able changes (fix soldier dropping into bleeding state not throwing the weapon away on client, because personage able change from interaction script wasn't synched to client.)

• Fixed recently introduced crash for conquest when resupplying or buying new units on the campaign screen
  
  
• Fixed cases where price modifier for infantry with rifle grenades was +20 instead of +10
  
• Reduced price modifier for infantry with rifle grenades from +10 to +5 for infantry in squads. Single buy (2 man teams) remain same price as before
  
• Reduced price modifier for USA infantry with a bazooka from +50 to +40
  
• Reduced price modifier for GER infantry with flamethrower from +60 to +50 (matches current multiplayer pricing)
  
  
• Fixed broken texture on DCG Elsenborn

• Added new feature to CooP lobby of skirmish/campaign missions (not conquest) that allow the hosts to change how purchased reinforcements are distributed the players:
  - If on, enables reinforcements to go to the player who buys the unit from the reinforcements tab
  - If off, reinforcements are distributed evenly to all players regardless of who buys the unit from the reinforcements tab
  
  
• Skirmish scripts and logics updated:
  - refined and fixes to randomized enemy towable vehicles reinforcement
  - enemy side now uses additional value to determine whether it should bring better units even if player did not advance. If flag captures are exchanged back and forth a lot and enemy keeps recapturing them it boosts their morale.
  - towed cannons by ai that are detached via logics will rotate and build sandbags when not engaged, facing general location of user army.
  - tow vehicle and towed cannon actions improved when engaged or noted user forces.
  
  
• Fixed lack of autosaves in the mission: Pavlov's House(1942_09_pavlovs_house)
  
• Fixed chicken & tomato plant damaged buildings blocking enemy ai defenses and positions in the mission: The Siege of Sevastopol(1942_06_sevastopol)
  
• Fixed small number of users who crash during intro related to animations at start in the mission: Dropped into the Fire(1944_06_02_sainte_mere_eglise)
  
  
• The Legend of Krasny Bor(1943_02_krasny_bor)
  - Fixed "suicidal" rush by enemy tanks(mostly above normal difficulty) for players HQ ignoring combat in most instances.
  Now, all tier tanks of enemy have a chance to engage in combat and only resume pathing if ai brain allows it, this is not for all tanks but controlled by few factors like how close they are and not all tanks can do this.
  - Adjustement of some timings and loops during attack wave per difficulty.
  
  
• Among the Heavens(1942_09_elbrus)
  - Fixed issues related to "Eliminate Enemy Mortars".
  - Enemy mortars now properly setup and reach intended destinations.
  - Rewritten enemy mortars task logics, they bombard coverage area unless they see player units, then they will operate normally until they no longer see player.
  
  
• Through the Fire(1941_08_porlampi)
  - full QA pass as this mission had references via tags to many entities (rus_phase2) which no longer exist, and some slotid# would attach themselves to various entities such as medic_zone2 of user medics and other things, which in turn when command called on them would result in problems.
  - retreat calls clean up, and clean up of various orders to enemy units.
  * this was done to determine if recent coop crash in this mission was in fact tied to script and old items no longer existing being tagged and resulting in things like medic_zone2 being tagged of user medic.
  
  
• The Siege of Sevastopol(1942_06_sevastopol)
  - Fixed enemy infantry at first 3 strongholds having very aggressive advance settings and free modes resulting in many enemy soldiers leaving their defense task areas.
  - Added minor ai logic tweak where infantry at first 3 strongholds will react to player units detected inside the zone and close combat and attempt to move and fight while player is in the zone(seperate per each stronghold).
  
  
• Stalin's Big Guns(1941_08_ino_station)

• Added new feature to the cooperative gamemode that allows the hosts to change how purchased reinforcements are distributed to the players:
  - If “Buyer gets units” is on, it enables reinforcements to go to the player who buys the unit from the reinforcements tab
  - If “Buyer gets units” is off, reinforcements are distributed to all players, prioritizing those who have fewer units in the field, which is the behaviour that existed until now. This means that the player who bought the unit didn’t necessarily get it. Good for balancing, but not necessarily the preferred option for group games with friends.
