  EA 1.10: West River Map, Partial Controller Support

  EA 1.10:New map; West River. Situated on the Okavango River Delta. River & Floodplains cutting through Agricultural and Industrial Settlements. Can be accessed when starting a new game or by travelling from another map (in Faction Conquest only). NOTE: Unfortunately due to changes in how map saving is handled, your previous map progression has been wiped. Partial Controller Support has been added. 2D menus and most gameplay mechanics can now be navigated using controllers. 3D menus like the journal do not work, and gameplay might be a bit janky.Foliage now visually fades away if the camera gets close enough, allowing the player to see more.Supply Shop is now accessible in the Firing Range.Added a UI stance puppet for crouching and proning.Added a "Gear" tab to the progression menu.AI now have IK based hit-reactions when taking damage.Fixed bandage visuals no longer getting dirty over time.Fixed a bug where sliding could get an extreme speed increase.Fixed a bug where capturing the location of an Operation while it is active, then reloading the game (eg death or main menu) would then match the Operation to your friendly team, making objective fulfillment somewhat awkward (eg assassinating friendly target, freeing enemy hostages). (Bounty now autocompletes instead).Fixed weapon reload continuation being bypassed when vaulting.
