This is to avoid annoying load/unload cycles that would happen when crossing back and forth over the original boundary.* When getting 50m from a region boundary (that will cause loading/lag) a message wi…

Regions Unload option: If set to yes, this will stop regions unloading, and thus having to be reloaded when re-entering that area. This requires Minimum 32GB RAM for all S.E. Asia regions to be loaded in. It shouldn't affect performance much. Run in Background option fix: This option should now be able to be set back to no again. Swimming Fix: Entering water has been updated so player shouldn't get stuck sometimes. Jumping while swimming now has some forward momentum to ensure he can get free if stuck somehow.

Camera while on foot is now a lot smoother and less jittery. The felt FPS should be higher, especially on fast PC's.

These player outposts generate construction supplies every 6 in-game hours (other ways to get supplies is by calling them with your radio). The VC/NVA will get their own building update next.* There are 3 outpost buildings; these being the Tent Outpost, FSB Outpost and Castle Outpost. They're highlighted in orange in the build menu, until one is placed nearby.* Each outpost has a Base management board, which displays the overall status of the base. You can see resource production & consumption, garrison, supply hours, morale, training, hygiene and other base related…
- Update 43: NPC Behavior, Guns, Armories, Fixes & Optim. - 16 May 2026
LINE OF SIGHT & NPC BEHAVIOUR:* Adjusted NPC line of sight (LOS) origin points and ensured LOS is always checked before firing. This is to prevent them from shooting the player through walls & should also fix some issues with enemies shooting from tunnels.* NPC's now are more lethal when under 3m from an enemy soldier.* NPC's rotating to target closer than 2m now has reduced update speed to decrease crazy rotations very close to target.SQUAD:* Squad Hold Fire command (Action menu) has been updated to completely forbid your squad from engaging enemies and a "Squad: holding fire" UI text has been added. Giving other orders to your squad. such as follow orders, will not overwrite the Hold Fire state. It is only disabled by using the Hold Fire command again.

- Update 41: USA Expansion & Nam Fixes - 19 March 2026

In other words; these will no longer devastate friendly US bases. This code also used to have a 10% chance of failure, which has now been reduced to 5% (it simulates rare friendly fire incidents).High Priority Fixes:* Victory Points and various other things and accomplishments in Vietnam are no longer unintentionally cleared when going to U.S.A.

- Update 40: In-game Map, U.S. Cars, New Gas Stations, Squad Cap, Bug Fixes - 17 December 2025
NEW CONTENT: * In-game map now has new images with much higher resolution: Terrain changes that were done after the original map images was made long ago will now be visible. The higher resolution also renders all small rivers, streams and roads visible. Hills and mountains are now much better represented, as well as more varied terrain colors that better represent the terrains, including darker areas in dense jungle or forest areas. * New rare custom main weapon: The armorers are still modifying the blow forward action, but currently it is very powerful for short range engagements yet quite heavy and very unreliable. It can sometimes be found at S.F. camps and if you’re lucky at the local armorer. Be ready to switch weapon when it inevitably jams. * American civilian cars are being imported to South Vietnam in substantial numbers. They can now also be entered by player in S.E. Asia. *…

- Update 38: Movement issue fix, Traitor bug fix, Armory collider fix - 8 December 2025
* Movement bunny hop fix. The issue, which seem to have arisen in an earlier update with movement changes, was: When player walked into an object, the auto climb mechanic would trigger and the code added to prevent player flying off the ledge right after climbing the top of objects, had the unfortunate side-effect of causing player to be so force restricted for 2 seconds, that he would do small bunny jump when trying to start walking during that time (due to auto jump kicking in). This ofc made tunnels and buildings very frustrating to navigate. * Traitor issue caused by NPCs fixed: After player had used MGs in vehicles, NPC troops could in some cases fire projectiles set as if they were shot by player, and thus, could result in negative reputation for player, thereby also triggering traitor mechanic when they hit their own soldiers by accident. * Invisible cube collider in new big armo…
