Bug fixes

* Fixed a threading crash.

Release of 1.0.33633 (Hotfix) - Changelog

We've just released a hotfix addressing a few problems that have been reported since the release of version 1.0. Seee the complete list of changes below.

Please note that we have not yet been able to find and fix the cause for the quite nasty and elusive "Flak Crash/Freeze". We are still investigating this and hope to be able to release another hotfix for the issue, soon. We cannot entirely confirm, but it may help to play in DirectX 11 instead of 12 to get rid of the problem for now.

* Integrated localization changes suggested by Crowdin community
