MAIN CHANGES
Yet ANOTHER another update that attempts to fix lost profiles 
.
There are a lot of goodies in this update… mostly quality-of-life improvements, but also numerous bug fixes and a couple of very far-reaching internal changes (this is one of the reasons I’m nervous that something will go horribly wrong with this update 
. Let’s hope for the best 
)
Bug/Idea medals will be awarded later in the day. 
Your medal cannot be awarded if your in-game callsign doesn’t match your forum name (send it to me in a private message).
COMPATIBILITY
You will lose:
- any in-mission progress
- any menu options you have configured

BACKUPS
You are reminded that during Early Access you are responsible for backing up your own progress. Make a copy of everything under C:\ProgramData\InterAction studios\CIU (including all sub-folders). Never rename files or move them from one version folder to another. Simply make a copy and then later put it back exactly where you found it.
