  • Fix for freezing on training mission load

  • Modified AMD negative delta time exception handling so it no longer stops the server or client, but just logs the event
  • Fixed Admin add Player Admin
  • Fixed Admin kicking of players. Now works properly with Soldier name and has optional kick by player ID

  • Fixes several issues related to ROE firing off when player is bleeding, asphyxiating, or falling after being wounded by ROE
