GHPC has been updated to version 20211208!  As always, you can find the public demo here.  Patrons can find the full demo using the usual link, which will be shared again in the Patreon post for the update.

Overview

This update brings a slew of bug fixes, optimizations, and small features.  Included among these is a much-requested overhaul to explosive damage and suppression effects, which will make fighting against ATGM positions much less frustrating.  In addition, some users will see improved performance due to reductions in memory usage and rendering time. 

We're hard at work on some much larger features for GHPC.  Stay tuned for more news soon!
