    I took the day off just so I could get this out. The reason this is so important is because I coded a system to write a performance log of the server in real-time. It'll pump out a report every 5 seconds or so explaining just what is taking all of the server's cpu time. This should be beneficial to telling exactly what is lagging everything. One minute I think it's vehicles. The next I think it's turrets. I'm hoping to reach a conclusion once and for all. Although, I think we can all agree that there's less lag than the previous versions.

    -------------------------
    Version 1.08 Beta Build 129/RC 11 Changes:

    -Added: custom performance profiler with real-time logging to a CSV file
    -Added: for commander alerts, added background to the alert text showing exactly where you need to click to jump to the alert and improved detection of clicking on the alert
    -Added: engineer turret and camera health HUD indicators now show two health bars if two are built
    -Added: the commander will get points for all kills from commander built turrets no matter who was the commander when they were built
    -Fixed: NF rpg world model's normal texture map was defined incorrectly
    -Fixed: BE radar LOD problems
    -Fixed: set cannon shells to not hit the cannon or turret they originated from to prevent tanks from driving so fast that they hit their shell when it's first fired
    -Fixed: passenger in vehicle getting hurt from things hitting the vehicle
    -Fixed: spectating passengers in vehicles causing problems with spectator camera
    -Fixed: scout going hidden when in a vehicle
    -Fixed: going from spectator in-eye to chase camera would preserve the roll angle; it now resets to 0 when in chase camera mode
    -Fixed: as spectator, players out of visible range were showing up on the mini-map in the middle of the map
    -Fixed: background for spectator name was drawn incorrectly when the player's name contained unicode characters
    -Fixed: players lost their health upgrade skill after being revived
    -Fixed: server crash related to capture point event firing
    -Fixed: server crash related to "FindPickerEntity" function
    -Fixed: players getting stuck in engineer ammo crates
    -Fixed: passenger in vehicle getting credit for running players over
    -Fixed: spectators getting rank points
    -Fixed: controls panel resets all buttons and names when opened
    -Modified: set commander camera to not zoom when clicking on an alert unless the distance from the camera to alert position is less than 600 inches where it will then zoom out
    -Modified: scout now gets a rank point when two buildings are sabotaged (was five)

    That's great, lets hope the cause of the most of the lag is found quickly.
