Developer Patch 2016/09/29

GENERAL UPDATES
'''We have performed a small clean-up in our game files to make the total game size smaller & to remove unnecessary files. There's a small chance that some in-game items might have texture problems. We ask players that experience problems / bugs after this patch to report the problems to us so that we can fix them in a hotfix later.''' Fixed some concrete walls that were still no-clippable for players. Fixed the 'Barn Model' building wher﻿e players could look through the windows only from the inside. Fixed the issue with accounts that did not have ANY characters on the account. Fixed the global issue where some buildings in some maps had noclippable overgrowth.  Updated website: added links to the support email on several pages in case new players have problems.  VOIP﻿ In-﻿game VOIP is finally available for players! You might notice that VOIP will be disabled in certain servers. Players can disable the VOIP in their game﻿ options in the main menu.</li> Players can mute players from their in-game tab list. </li></ul> LANGUAGES﻿</li> <ul>To improve our game for our players we've started to translate our game into multiple languages.
