Stability & Performance
- Improved stability in some situations when Walk Paths are enabled.
- Graphics behavior adjustments for Xbox and PlayStation may improve the performance experience for some users.
Audio
- Fixes for various audio regressions.
- Reduced the overly dramatic impact of volume relative to camera position and how close units were to the middle of the player’s view.
- Many sounds and some music are now correctly adjusted by volume sliders. Some sounds were either not properly reduced or controlled by any sliders.
- Improved audio quality in some situations.
- Improved the loudness levels of audio, which was incorrect in some situations.
Hotkeys
- Fixed a bug that prevented keyboard and mouse controls from working correctly in Photo Mode for elevation, panning, and zooming in some situations when the new sliders’ default value was 0%.
- Fixed a conflict between the default binding of F1 that was used for both Push to Talk and Cast God Power 1. Push to Talk is now set by default to Alt+Space instead of F1.
Controller
- Unit health bars no longer scale with the current zoom level on Xbox and PlayStation.
