+ some beta regressions fixed, shall hotfix some of the often crashes of client/server seen in past weeks

(if you still get any crashes, it's very important for us to get server's mdmp,bidmp,rpt files
(compressed e.g. to my email (which is my nickname @ bistudio.com)with subject CRASH)

BattlEye compatibility: ... SUPPORTED, enjoy ! ...

Nice one. Does this build address the initialization issues of missions caused by the network object initialization changes?

Just curious what is so difficult to make AI AT units fire their AT on vehicles with turned out crew? Just place yourself in a AT team and let the opponent tanks drive around on "save"... Kinda silly if those AI AT units trying to kill a little target (heads/upper body of crew) with their rifles and only using their AT launchers if the vehicle crew is on "alert"/"danger" mode. Expected behaviour for AI equipped with AT launchers: open fire on armored vehicles with AT no matter if the vehicle crew is turned out or in. Plus - improved target selection within team/group = effective combat against multiple armored targets (no wasting two, three or more missiles on one enemy vehicle).

Totally right^
Should we create "ticket"?

This is used ad nauseum in MP when using the M2A2, you're safe in it from A.I. because the "loader" is always turned out...and reloads the main gun by using magic. btw. the download does not work, the server is down.

Awesome that the community config changes are making it into the betas this quickly. Great job with that BIS and kju!

Even though this might not be entirely related to the latest tickets/fixes i guess its worth mentioning. I get pretty nice preformance when using this beta, using 20-30 ich ai i get some 1 or two 2 seconds low fps now and then but between that its really smooth 60fps+. Never seen that smooth gameplay when using alot of ai before.

Might of been just me but Im getting this while testing some things in editor, after I shut down the game. Popup window with

Warning Message: No entry 'ca\modules_e\Weather\data\fsms\postprocess.fsm.FS M'.

And in rpt this

Warning Message: No entry 'ca\modules_e\Weather\data\fsms\postprocess.fsm.FSM'.
Warning Message: No entry '.fsmName'.
Warning Message: '/' is not a value
Warning Message: No entry '.States'.
Warning Message: No entry '.initState'.
Warning Message: '/' is not a value
Wrong init state
Warning Message: No entry '.finalStates'.

Warning Message: No entry '.initState'.
Warning Message: '/' is not a value
Wrong init state

Not scripted in mission, its a simple random preview so I don't know how to repro in other way but this. Could be a typo somewhere?

Just realised there is wrong init state there, yet Im not using anything in init line of vehicles, and especially not anything related to weather?
