Overview
New Features / Improvements

This update prepares the arrival of classes with a loadout system. It's a dramatic change on how UI works during briefing. You will have to chose your loadout, and then actively press the deploy button, before you can start playing. For now you will have two classes: riflemen and assault.The UI is functional, but it needs a bit more work to be perfectly intuitive, so we will improve it in the coming updates. I'm sure you will figure it out very quickly, though. Let us know your thoughts about it, and let us know if you think the briefing time is too long or too short now.
We have removed reinforcement game mode, and replaced it with a training mode which works like "ranked", but doesn't affect your efficiency, while still giving you some promotion points.
We have modified the in-game soldier panel to remove the rate of fire slider, and embed it in a button. It also now shows which weapon the soldier is wielding, and if the soldier is in cover. We'll be partially redesigning this in the near future as well, for example to more quickly show what your soldier is doing at that point.
Added a button for commanders to cancel all orders (to use in mid-game if the commander wants to distribute new orders quickly)
Adjusted VP's in FarmFightClassic, Bataille à la Ferme, and Art Gallery.
Modified the trees in Slaughterhouse for better forest fights
Modified how SMG accuracy is affected by suppression. Please let us know if it still doesn't work as intended
Bug Fixes

Fixed Small Houses bug where soldiers could throw grenades through a wall from a specific spot
Lobby now shows regiment points instead of win%
Lobby chat now properly disconnects if somehow gets disconnected
Regiments should not have infinity of points anymore (hope you enjoyed it while it lasted)
Fixed path finding problems with the large hay piles
Fixed a bug that caused games not to be recorded after a reset
Future changes

Depending on how the next few days go, we will start working on the MG and Sniper classes
For now class selection is done by the player, but we will create a system for the commander to 'hand down' weapons
When these classes will be in the game, it will be the moment when all the important foundations of the game will be in place. We will then start improving and building on top of these foundations. There will be many dramatic improvements which include (but not limited to): lobby, core gameplay, strategic interface, leaderboards, regiment structure, general UI, controls, in-game options, etc.. There will also be a lot of minor additions such as a single player tutorial, a map editor, I could go on and on, this should probably be the topic of its own blog post.
Change of name
As always there will be more bug fixing, keep the reports coming, and remember, the more details you give, the easier for us it is to reproduce them, and fix them
Known Issues

We've made some modifications to the netcode in an attempt to fix the bug where rooms are not recording, so if it keeps happening, let us know, we will try more solutions.
We've overhauled parts of our pathfinding system in order to iterate quicker on maps and eventually have less issues. We've reviewed most maps (except Jardins) so it should be good (except Jardins), but if you see any pathfinding issue, let us know.
Some desynchronization can still occur occasionally, causing errors in game.
There is still a bug with invisible soldiers, and duplicate player names in-game. It's a problem that is hard to reproduce, but we have manage to get a log file from an occurrence. We are still not sure what causes it, but we will be looking for a solution that can fix this.
