    2.12.1 is currently live on the beta steam branch. For an updated changelog: https://wiki.empiresmod.com/Version/2.12.x
    Please add any bugs you find in this beta as replies.

    Features
    • Class selection now remembers your previous choices for that class.
    • Class defaults to Engineer now instead of Scout.
    Bugfixes
    • Fix for infinite pumping on shotguns when at 0 ammo.
    • Fixed SDK bot spawning
    • Fixed shotgun using wrong sounds when firing
    • Reverted problematic sounds
    • Fixed more blurry textures on low settings
    Non-code changes
    • emp_money:
      • refinery resources increased from 3 -> 5
      • vehicleclips added above platforms
    • emp_coast:
      • Fixed hole (https://forums.empiresmod.com/index.php?threads/2-6-emp_coast-has-a-hole-in-the-map.19123/)
      • Fixed texture behind ladder near BE spawn
      • Set all four displacement 4s to level 2
      • BE and NF main bases now start with a pre-built refinery to prevent Commanders building anything BUT a refinery first and losing the game
      • Viscluster brush added to ceiling to improve performance. Visible clusters reduced from ~8 million to ~4 million. More optimization can be done, but this is a huge increase for now.
    Script changes

    Probably close to two hours spent debugging this, to find out its a single digit that caused it. FML

    Remember to try out plasma weaponry.

    As of 2.12.0, plasma weapons have hit the point where I feel they are powerful (if not OP).

    Meaning I will probably not buff them further, you either use them or don't.

    The real gamechanger about weapon sounds is that you will actually hear BE machine pistols going off. No more ninja deaths.

    Nobody worth their salt uses shotguns. All top players use SMGs instead.

    Nobody worth their salt would use something that's solely RNG based and has a narrow purpose.

    Are you dissing machine pistols, shotguns, or both? Because the MP works at medium range if you tap it. People often get surprised by the accuracy.

    Machine pistol is good.

    I use pistol 1 all the time but that's not because machine pistol sucks, it's just I've been using it for 10 billion years.

    Aye, this is true. MP is good. but the standard 9mm is just all round good becuase its that good mixture of both the Magnum and MP
