Changelog:
UI
Misc
Maps
UI
- New main menu – still a work in progress.
- The editor is now treated as DLC, and is not installed by default. The launcher will install the editor when you attempt to access it, or you can manually install/uninstall it by right-clicking the game in your Steam Library, choosing “Properties”, going to the “DLC” tab, and checking/unchecking the editor.
- We are adding map voting to the AAR at the end of a match, but isn’t complete yet, so ignore the in-progress work.
- Ping for other players is no longer visible on the scoreboard; your personal ping is not yet displayed but will be.
- Admins have access to a new command, AdminPlayerList, which lists all players by team with ping.
- Added a HUD scaling option in the Settings menu; the option must be turned on for the slider to work (still a work in progress).
- LAN tab added to the server browser.
- Highlights once again work on the server browser.
- Unofficial servers should now appear in the favorites and history tabs as any other server.
- Bleed-out icon updated so the colors aren’t so bright.
- Simultaneous vote kicks no longer cause issues.
- Team Select menu polished.
- A player who bleeds out will now always appear in the kill feed.
- ESC closes the overhead map.

- The scoreboard is no longer viewable in shoot houses, the tutorial or exploration.

I'm not seeing what you are talking about. There is a certain look the dot has because of how it looks in the real world. Aside from that effect i'm seeing no artifacting.
Here is an example screenshot from my game. Does this look like what you are seeing?
yours is also not sharp
Nah. I like the new main menu screen and the fact that the editor is treated as DLC.
Edit:
Picture of what they look like
Thanks for reporting it.
The message after you get revived is a known bug. It isn't all the time and we can't reproduce it. If you have a clue on how it happens please let us know!
?Changelog says "Visual artifacts cleared out of the M68 red dot scope" why you "fix"it when thats is the way it should be?
There were some issues along the edges of the optic which were cleaned up.
It is! On the Launcher select "Editor" then click on the Mission Editor image to download and install it.
I made it but the download doesn't start and there isn't any dlc available for AAPG in steam/property. I tried 3/4 times but nothing happened...
I've submitted a bug report for this issue
Like
New Main Menu
ranks are written in scoreboard --> not only the rang symbol
Dislike
No highlighting of myself on the scoreboard always have to search where I am
No pings to seefrom others
still no opportunity to see who plays on a server!!!
Dont have the chance to report a bug by user cp so I do it here!!!!
It sucks that you release a pulled nade/flash if you just tab for scoreboard while still holding the mousebutton. It happend so often to me waiting for the enemy to flash him and just wanted to check if I am the last in my team and bam flashed myself revealed my postion or in most cases got shot cause of this. PLS REMOVE!

Not perfect, but it's an option for those missing it right now.
FTFY Sir
Will there be a time when the launcher is no longer needed to login to the game?
That's not to say we won't try to find a way to make it go away , but no time soon.
Shoothouses are saving scores!.. *Cough* Current Shotgun Champ *Cough*
That is real world red dot... they have flicker and not perfect round... Agghhhh . nevermind.
