 This eighth update for World in Conflict fixes balancing and bug issues and introduces some new features, like improved in-game voting, new ignore functions and improved network code stability. There are also several additions to Massgate, including new banners and new explanatory texts for missing content.

New features:
– Improved in-game vote system.
– Special Ability icons now show the number of selected units ready to fire.
– Extrapolation added to the network code. This should decrease lag caused by high packet loss. To disable extrapolation, append “-noextrapolation” (without the quotes) to the target path of the WIC shortcut.
– Expanded the ignore functionality on Massgate to cover clan challenges and chat rooms.
– Unit shields will now always be enlarged on mouseover regardless of selected unit.
– Unit movement arrows are now more visible on the Megamap.
– Added a hyperlink pop-up when the client is missing map or mod content.
– Remote admins can now switch a ranked server to unranked and back.
– Added explanatory text to the abuse report window.
– Added Massgate banner.

Units and balancing:
– Improved infantry forest cover logic. When ordered into forest cover, infantry units should now always find actual cover.
– Increased accuracy and tweaked fire rates for Armored Transports.
– Improved stealth slightly for Demolition Engineers.
– Improved power of Demolition Engineers’ Demolition Charge. It now destroys most bridges with one charge.
– Fixed discrepancies with US Medium Tank and US Light Tank view ranges compared to USSR and NATO.
– Fixed discrepancy with the duration of the USSR Medium Artillery special ability compared to US and NATO.

Bug fixes:
– Fixed a bug that caused disconnects with wireless network cards.
– Friendly fire warnings are not triggered by stray bullets anymore.
– Fixed a Reinforcement Point exploit that used unit drops and role changes to get additional Reinforcement Points.
– Fixed a bug that caused units dropped by Tactical Aid to be blinking and untargetable.

– Fixed a bug that caused Kick-vote to be active in clan matches.
– Fixed a bug that caused Kick-on-idle to stop working.
– Fixed a bug that required spectators to click “ready” for servers in match mode to start. Only players in teams count now.
– Fixed a bug that caused the TA cooldown to not reset when matches started in match mode. It should no longer be possible to deploy Tactical Nukes prematurely.
