Readme: Version 1.37.10.1

Improving the quality of life for WWII Online is a continued mission we have here at Playnet/CRS. Your experience matters, and we are targeting performance issues that are impacting a variety of our players.

The most significant of these updates going in is related to the "Shrapnel and Spall calculations." You should see a noticeable difference when a string of bombs or other high-explosives go off. What would have normally caused a significant stutter for not only the bombardier but everyone on the ground rendering them, should be substantially reduced. This means a better, cleaner experience, and less crashing to desktop for most users.

An image of internal testing of bomb calculations against player placed objects. It was smooth as butter.

We're also targeting larger towns having rendering issues, places like Antwerp, Liege, Brussels, and such should have some optimizations when flying over.

One other thing we targeted was fixing an invisible collider issue at the top of the bunker staircase (where you'd normally defend the capture room). Players would sometimes get stuck there or have an odd experience. This should now be smooth.

Collider fix: This is the infamous area in the bunker (that connects the top floor rooms together).

This is all made possible by your continued paid support as a subscriber of WWII Online.
