Well its about time they fixed that bug to Sakharov's bunker... can't get passed that before without doing the "jam the thrown gun on door" trick.

glad to see they addressed the sunshaft rendering performance issues - hopefully now it won't be so bad during morning and evening. Even my system took quite a hit by it . . . :shadedshu

May be just as well that it isn't out on Steam yet. Sources have claimed that the 1.5.06 patch is unfinished and will be released soon as the 1.5.06a or 1.5.07 version.;)
