Patch 0.93.660084 (21 March 2018)

GENERAL BUG FIXES:
- Fix for jump jet infantry being order-locked when a save then load is performed while they are mid-flight.
- Added a map validation check that looks for too many stacked structures and warns the user of such on save.
- Fix for crashing when pressing shift while the instance tab is active (in the terrain editor).

- Fix for replanning failing when the target area is covered by too much stuff (movement failed to reach clicked destination despite there being a path to get there).

- General Save/Load fixes to handle rare cases where continuing a battle would not work properly.
- Timeout a lobby join after 10 seconds so that players don’t hang forever waiting to join.

- Player names in lobby should update a little more frequently.
- Steam “Played with Users” should be updated now.
- Handled an issue where some custom maps could fail to launch in Multiplayer.
- Fix for getting disconnected when connecting to an instance if the instance takes a long time to load. For example, when downloading a custom map for the first time.
- Fix for not being able to launch a multiplayer game with everyone is assigned to a random team.
- Prevent players having blank multiplayer game names.
- Fixed three separate issues which would have manifested itself to players as a “random crash”.
- Battlecam tweaks to improve angles and identify the highest priority events.
- Fix for flickering load screen on some systems.
- Re-enabled Anti-Aliasing on ATI cards. Also, removed AA slider if AA isn’t available.
