From the Battlefront forums and as published in The Wargamer:
Quote:The list of "for sure" improvements includes:
* New customizable hotkeys with more "direct keys" (these show up in green in the command buttons). Note that it's OK to leave a hotkey blank.
* F5-F8 keys jump directly to command panels
* New Option for ATI left-click compatibility (only appears for ATI users). The new ATI cards require this. It (hopefully!) stops the crashes, but some 3D mouse clicks are less precise.
* New Option allows user to choose whether CMSF runs at normal priority (better for mouse input for some people) or high priority (can improve frame rate)
* Vehicles have much-improved automatic defensive behavior AI.
* After using a "high level" menu button in the command panel, the display flips back to command buttons.
* Fixed a bug that caused smoke sometimes not to block LOS when it should
* Infantry will often seek better nearby cover on their own if under heavy fire
* You may issue commands when paused in Elite mode
* Vehicles don't change facing defensively if they have a cover-arc command
There will be a few more fixes and tweaks included, although these have yet to be revealed.
Sounds promising. Hope it works out well. Aside from stability and performance fixes... They took my F-key suggestion and will be fixing vehicle and infantry defensive behavior. Nothing said about pathfinding and QB quirks.
