What's New

This is a minor release focusing on stability improvements, bug fixes, and some much-requested quality-of-life tweaks!

Skip Intro Videos: You can now instantly skip the EA Games and intro movies by pressing the ESC key during startup.
Mac HUD Fix: Resolved a visual bug that caused issues with the HUD overlay when loading a saved game on macOS.
Update Checker & Watermark: The in-game version watermark has been polished to scale correctly on 4K/high-res displays without text wrapping. The built-in Update Checker was also heavily improved to properly read GitHub tags and prevent downgrade prompts.
New Community Port: Added wasm-generals (a WebAssembly + WebGPU browser port) to our list of community ports in the documentation!

Battle Bus Crashes: Fixed a critical crash (segfault) that occurred when evacuating destroyed or detached occupants from a Battle Bus.
Immobilized Battle Buses: Passengers can now properly exit immobilized Battle Buses.
Stinger Sites: Sniper weapons can no longer incorrectly fire upon empty Stinger Sites.
Aircraft Logic: Fixed a bug where aircraft would fall to their death if their Airfield was destroyed during their return flight.
Booby Traps: Allowed Booby Traps to be placed on a previously booby-trapped object.
LAN Chat Tweaks: Changed LAN emote buttons to chat buttons and implemented the /me emote text command in LAN chats.

Core Stability: Applied core 64-bit and thread stability fixes for smoother overall engine performance.
Upstream Sync: Merged massive upstream syncs from thesuperhackers/main, bringing in dozens of engine refinements, memory leak fixes, and performance optimizations (such as hoisting global light ray computation out of the per-vertex loop).
