Game Improvements:

  1. Fixed the issue where the dynamic view range in Technical Characteristics exceeded the maximum value of 445 m in the tooltips of Equipment such as Coated Optics.
  2. Adjusted the calibration coefficients of the guns that had incorrect display of the Firepower characteristic.
  3. Fixed the formula for the calculation of the Survivability characteristic. Factors such as armour slope angles and the part of individual element’s area on the armor projection are now taken into account.

  5. Fixed the issue with pressing ALT+ENTER twice in the Garage where the clan icon on the vehicle turned into a striped yellow-red square that read “Problem?”.

Recommendations

To fix the unstable behavior of the NVIDIA driver in SLI mode with DirectX 11, it is recommended to install driver version 365.10.

The improved DX11 renderer will automatically turn on for the video cards that support it. If your video card does not support DX11, the DX9 renderer will be used instead. The difference in renderers does not affect the game settings.
