• Fixed crashes that could occur on localized versions (languages other than English).
• "Solo VOIP" (to specific player(s)) checkbox now stays enabled when exiting score sheet.
• Players who experience occasional freezes/lockups can now try to append "-stabilityfactor 10" (without the quotes) to the target path of the WIC shortcut. It can also be toggled in the console (in-game) by typing StabilityFactor 10. The number 10 can be decreased or increased if users want to experiment (StabilityFactor 0 turns the feature off).
• The game now defaults to full Field-of-View for Widescreen resolutions (such as 16:9). The widescreen Field-of-View from Update 1 can be used by appending "-widescreenscale" (without the quotes) to the target path of the WIC shortcut.

• Players should no longer experience disconnects when selecting a role that has already reached its cap.
• Players should no longer experience disconnects when buying more units than they had credits for. This could occur if a player "resupplied" and then ordered more troops before the server had responded.
• Players should no longer experience disconnects when ordering more Tactical Aid weapons than they could afford. This could happen if a player ordered two different Tactical Aid weapons before the server responded.
• Added Dynamic Lag Margin, activated by appending "-lagmargin" (without the quotes) to the target path of the WIC shortcut. This increases the lag margin to a maximum of 0.45 at packet loss / variation in ping.
• Updated the NATO heavy helicopter texture.
