Games weren’t always saved properly. Monthly report didn’t show correct date. Crafts in base view weren’t positioned correctly. Music loading issues. Various battlescape fixes. Various performance improvements. And as usual, the known issues: Battlescape is still in a “sandbox” mode, so missions never end and anything you do in it won’t carry over to the Geoscape. Take advantage of it! Geoscape sidebar isn’t translated in all languages. You can’t minimize dogfights. UFOs are nerfed to make them easier to intercept. Screenshots are saved in BMP since it doesn’t require libraries. DO NOT share them in this format, convert them to something sane like PNG/JPG first.
