The advanced graphic parameter "WR_PrefabLODEnable" can be disabled by
setting it to zero in useropts.cfg. This will cause the game to render
buildings at full model detail, regardless of distance. Setting this parameter to zero may degrade game performance, and is not supported by Technical Support.(In other words: You break it, you bought it.)

You just made my day. Muchos Gracias. Danke. Merci.

This patch is awesome. Seriously.

Gang NPCs will no longer go into the Evade state. They will still retreat in certain situations, to prevent players from dragging high-level NPCs into low-level areas.

Can it be true? This is awesome, you guys finnaly found this nasty, NASTY, ANNOYING, bug? Man it must have been hard to get fixed considering it has been in the game forever. You guys rock, first fixing the sound loop and then this, it's awesome!!!

Keep up the good work, I can't wait till update 46 now SMILEY . And with the Niobe in a construct? I take it this has happened in the past month, since I haven't been jacked in MxO for the past month.

Actually, we investigated the problem for a long time and all we could find were single fixes for single situations--not a fix for the entire problem. After reviewing things, we came to the conclusion that Evade caused more problems than it solved. So, we pulled it off all gang NPCs, period.

I can't help but wonder why it was implemented in the first place. But maybe I'm overlooking something.

One question:

Pugilist's Gloves now grant 9 points of base Ballistic Damage when triggered and have a minimum level requirement of 15. (The two older versions of the gloves have not been changed, but can no longer be acquired.

Will the old gloves decay super fast like the old widow gis or will their stability remain normal?

**Outlaw**

Wait...Ilovebees was a NPC name? I wish I got a screenshot of that...lol
