Add-on duplication bug. Expedition Commander and Expedition Soldier mix up in research item names. Drones no longer get paralyzed by Beastman paralyzing ammunition. It is no longer possible to get additional characters to join your team by allowing a drone to get killed during a mission. It is now possible to fix the "corrupted ground textures" problem by disabling bump mapping for ground models in the "Graphics" option menu (thanks to Stucuk and Lord Storm).

New/changed features:

Removed some shader restrictions to allow the game to run on a wider variety of graphics cards. The game now displays a dialog box when an enemy attacks your home base. It is now possible to change the item mode for all selected units at once. Enemies use different fire modes based on the distance to their targets. The game will now use different quick save files for tactical and strategic modes. The game no longer generates capture missions on enemy main bases.

Modding related changes:

Third armor add-on slot is now visible when using mods that enable it
