Milestone 3.1.0 Released! (Experimental)

[Chris]

This update is also only accessible by switching to our Experimental branches (instructions on how to do so here) - although note they have slower load times and worse performance than normal builds due to the extra logging they contain!

Balance Changes & Gameplay Updates:

• Added an additional five waves of UFOs after the game content ends, so players have more time to experiment with their new equipment if they want (unfortunately this change may only take effect for new campaigns created in 3.0.10 onwards).
• The "ghost" soldiers that are added to your squad on the Soldier Rescue mission will now fill empty slots in your dropship if possible, rather than always going in slots 7-9.
• The extraction region for the dropships is now a bit more generous - it includes the side doorways etc, rather than only counting the interior of the cargo hold.

Bugfixes:

• Attempted to a fix an immediate lockup some players were getting when booting up the game.
• Fixed doors being opened under the shroud incorrectly being visible again.
• Fixed the conversation not triggering when you see The General for the first time in the ATLAS Base mission.
• Fixed players on non-1080p screens potentially getting duplicate radar circles when placing new bases towards the edge of the map.
• Fixed players being able to assign wounded soldiers to the dropship via the assignment menu that is generated when double-clicking an empty dropship slot.
• Fixed players being able to bypass the dropship vehicle limit using the same assignment menu mentioned above.
• Fixed the green deployment tiles still being present if you loaded a save game from Turn 1 in a mission that has a deployment phase.
• Fixed the heal animation from the automed unit (and possibly also Sebillian regeneration) being incorrectly offset.
• Fix text rows displaying much smaller / larger than intended when clicking and dragging them (e.g. in the engineering queue, or a soldier in the dropship soldier list) unless you were playing on a 1080p screen.
