Christmas Update Hotfix + QOL Adjustments - 0.7.129.19

Well its that time again the Winter Sale!

Windows 7 Support

Windows 7 Support will be ending soon when we update to 4.27 of the Engine Build. We will archive the last stable build for windows 7 for a year after the official update. The windows 7 build will not receive updates/and we will give very basic support https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-7-support-ended-on-january-14-2020-b75d4580-2cc7-895a-2c9c-1466d9a53962 So if your on Windows 7 we highly recommend updating your OS in the future as our engine provider Epic Games has also started to remove dependencies and other runtimes that are needed for the game to run properly.

Change list

Added a Scope Socket for the 3P version of the MK14CQB (mimicking the 1P version) to ensure default attachments can spawn on it properly.
Prevented the 'away team is under attack' notification from playing when you take damage as an Operator
Fixed the Operator 'leaving behind' invisible attachments when you equip new attachments or switch weapons
Updated the Operator's weapon range to not get 'reduced back to RTS mode' when you switch attachments (by making it a dynamic modifier that updates any time you switch weapons)
In FPS mode, Operator's weapon range is no longer affected by night time or infection gas
Fixed a bug where switching weapons on the Operator after loading a game would cause the new weapon to not have default attachments
Greatly improved the accuracy of the 'onscreen damage taken indicator' when in Operator mode
Fixed up a potential crash when switching weapon attachments
Fixed up the attachment swapping logic related to magazines to prevent some situations which would cause the Operator to continue 'holding up' the weapon after closing the menu
Added another GC crash fix attempt (hopefully this one works, seems promising)
Various Material Adjustments
Fixed up the Operator's weapon customization menu to not display categories that have only one option (i.e. 'None')This only has any effect on the MK14CQB at the moment
Added some safeties to Game Over (to make it re-show mouse, end freelook, and try to stop key panning)
Assigned sound class settings for grenade launcher sound cue
Updated the Holding Cell to properly prevent the occupant from being able to attack units who get too close to the cell's walls if the unit is NOT fully succumbed to the infection when put into the cell, but the succumb while within
Added a crash fix for loading weapon attachments
Adjustments to asset settings in level, mainly focused around assets producing pink LODs.
New LODs for AI grid 7, TI grids 1,2,5, 7 and 8
Added speculative fix for crash from fire damage on pod
Adjusted a move proxy from TI North to TI south to fix a vehicle 'backtracking' issue on the manmade bridge
Added a game option to disable autosave, per request from Discord
Added some logic to stop the fastrope command from erroneously spawning ropes/units at the driver seat location (instead of where the ropes should be)
Fixed Operator being able to walk on Destroyed bridge segments
Fixed a camera bug that preventing zooming out in certain circumstances
Added a custom game option for starting doctrine points

Game is not tagged as available on Linux on Steam.

The Pangu Virus has been unleashed in San Francisco, turning thousands of innocent lives into mindless beasts that feel no pain and have no fear of death. With each passing hour, the Pangu Virus evolves, creating new and ever more horrific mutations with one goal in mind… Spread.

You are Captain Winter, a military officer fighting alongside the Center for Epidemic Research and Control(CERC). With a massive arsenal and the resources of the US Government behind it, you and CERC will stop at nothing to ensure the terror of the Pangu Virus does not escalate beyond containment, even if a whole city and millions of lives must be sacrificed.

Cepheus Protocol is inspired by classic RTS games such as Company of Heroes and World in Conflict, alongside the book World War Z.
Survive if you can against a relentless enemy that evolves and grows more powerful with each day.
Build specialized units from a variety of bases that can be placed anywhere in the open-world map.
Battle those infected by the Pangu Virus across four open-world islands, featuring unique and challenging environments.
Choose from three combat tiers that play to your style. Each tier has specialized units, equipment, and weaponry.
Engage a relentless horde of infected which numbers grow larger and stronger with each territory captured as you battle for control of San Francisco.
Hunt Patient Zero, who races across the city seizing territory. Each capture zone increases her population as the virus spreads and possesses all organic matter.
Form an alliance or side against the Anarchist and Police factions, which struggle to survive among the madness that has enveloped San Francisco.

Note: Steam Remote Play is for allowing your friends to try out the game if you already have purchased it. It's not for online co-op: that is is planned in the current roadmap, but is not complete yet
