Gameplay

Adding Fringe, Cygnus, and Pyn to the matchmaking 1v1 playlist
Removing Polis and Frozen Wastes from ranked map playlist
Host migration now functions in matches with AI opponents
AI improvements (new tactics & build options)
initial hookup for engineers healing - no AI attached to this so you will have to steer the units close to their targets yourself at this point
Balance

Pan less likely to put itself in danger when in an Army
Falcon AA structure now has extended range and can fire on radar targets
Destructor positions itself farther back in Armies if possible
have kill only work on T3s so as to not accidentally waste quanta on things that really aren't worth it

movement improvements

change dps tooltip to multiply dps from a weapon by the number of copies of that weapon

Updated and improved loading screen tooltips
Lobby browser properly displaying current in-progress games (we had to disable this in last build since it couldn’t handle the number of matches we had going at once)
Host indicator in lobby screen
Adjusted Green player's interface color to better match player icons
Unit/Building destroy button now more obvious
Improved player defeated icon
final hookup of Substrate T3 level up icons
UI polish on resource icons, text color, tech upgrade icons, etc.
updated MGPU option tooltip to warn off users likely to crash themselves
updated Borderless Window tooltip to explain that it runs in the desktop's current resolution
adjusted the look of the T3 Icons

Sound

Lots of polish on Substrate weapon sounds
Adding sounds for T3 upgrade weapons; Draining Beams, EMP Swat, Executor Havoc, Shield Regen
adding Sonic Demolisher weapon sound

Performance

Stability

Fixing crashes when accepting invites while loading into another game, because of UI being shutdown before it was initialized
handle an invalid handle in RectifyFormation
XAudio crash on null fix
fixed RectifyFormation crash
Fixing behavior where you would get stuck out of matchmaking and any mp lobby if you accepted an invite while in the matchmaking queue
Fixing crash if lost server connection while loading an MP game, but before the game view UI was ready
Increase cmd buffer size to from 4k to 16k to help alleviate possible overflow
fix for infinite loop hang
various crash fixes related to combined buildings and units in the ui select list

Bug fixes

Tweak to get more unit position updates through in MP
Added host migration timeout
If the user tries to enter matchmaking and the reason they can't is because the Tachyon match finder is still shutting down, it will now display the "MainMenu_DisabledMatchCancelling_TT" text asking the user to wait a few seconds while the queue reinitializes and try again.
fixed player Isn't Shown Rank After Match Unless they Back Out and Re-Enter

have substrate drones get close enough to use their weapons
make avatar steering and weapon work together
make flak weapons only effect air and drones (since they have a large aoe and a lot of damage they were ripping up substrate ground units by shooting at nearby drones (and substrate pretty much always have drones around on the AI teams))
bug fix with steering
ai tweak to healers and energy regeners
when an Army head is chopped off it tells its remaining members what to do before dying

fixed stats screens appearing broken momentarily while loading
proper Turinium icon now used in minimap
Fixed substrate Amplifier pointing to the wrong construction icon
Drone MRV now uses correct icons
Joining lobby text was misaligned
Fix color swatch in MatchInfoLoadScreen
Fix player faction in rank list
prevent AI from building units endlessly if there is only one team left and you decided to take the game into overtime
Sound - adding slight verb to unit and building destructions so they dont cut off so abruptly
Removing text shadow from end game summary screen status bar text
fixed enemy buildings showing modules of last selected friendly unit or building
Game no longer sits in the middle of the map for a moment before starting
Benchmark stats now report additional GPUs
fixed Not displaying proper rank post 1 (Legendary)
Bind Cursor option now defaults to “Bind Always” so edge scroll works well in Borderless Windowed mode
fixed the tiling so there is no gap in the T-3 Leveling Bars
