Milestone 6.13.0 Released! (Experimental)

This update is also only accessible by switching to our Experimental branches (instructions on how to do so here) - although please be aware they have slower load times and worse performance than normal builds due to the extra logging they contain!

** Balance Changes: **

• Xenonaut Shields were previously a bit overpowered as they blocked all damage in the frontal 180-degree arc of the carrying soldier. They now only offer 100% protection in the frontal 90-degree arc, and the protection now linearly drops off from 100% down to a minimum of 20% as the angle approaches the edges of the frontal 180-degree arc.

** Changes: **

• Various visual updates to the new ARES model to reintroduce the engine glow and heat haze etc.

• Soviet Town terror sites now have Alenium Bombs like the Western Town maps do.

• Updated the "wingover" icon in the air combat interface.

** Bugfixes: **

• Fixed a crash that could occur at end of turn in the tactical combat on the Soviet Town biome.

• Fixed a crash clicking the supporter regions / supporter icons on the Geoscape if you loaded an old save from 6.10.0.

• Fixed a crash during the tutorial.

• Fixed the Cleaners getting stuck while moving into position in the tutorial.

• Fixed the ARES weapons being invisible.

• Fixed the MARS tracks flickering during the fire animation, and if the vehicle moved more than one tile.

• Fixed fire / smoke effects sometimes spawning in the very corner of the map, rather than their intended tile.

• Another attempted fix for the camera sometimes incorrectly snapping to a moving unit after you've manually taken control of the camera (which should stop any attempted camera tracking).
