Known Issues

Users may see some vertical ‘jittering’ when looking at distant clouds - This is more visible in VR and we are working to resolve it as a priority.
There are Anti-aliasing artefacts visible under some conditions when clouds are low on the horizon.
The lighting effects on the clouds, especially when the sun is low on the horizon is still very much a WIP, and will be improved.
Currently as part of the initial release, clouds do not affect LOS for the AI.
The legacy fog effects are not suitable for use with the new clouds - a new fog layer using the new technology will follow.
Thunderstorms and lightning effects will follow in future updates.
Using SLAM/AGM-65E alongside targeting pod can in some circumstances result in some ground units becoming semi-transparent to the targeting pod. This is currently a priority item to resolve.
We have greatly improved many of the visual effects, and some tuning of brightness still remains to be completed.
Night vision goggles do not provide sufficient illumination with no moonlight.
Dedicated server window can hang when minimised.
MP. Ping info missing (always zero) in player's list.
