The biggest change in this update is the new restart system. Theirs no need to disconnect before a restart, as your player data will automatically sync right before restart. Also soft restarts have been implemented, so instead of getting kicked from the server, you will instead be sent to lobby.
Changes:
- Full moon at nights, this means on normal nights without cloud cover it won't be pitch black: http://imgur.com/a/BkYrL
- Post processing color effects, they change depending on the time of day so nights wont be super dark: http://imgur.com/a/VlV8m (top is current, bottom is new)

New server restart system. The server now has 3 different restart types. The restart notifications will tell you which type of restart is coming.
- Soft, which will send all players to lobby and it then reloads the mission (its like a hard restart, but you won't be forced to reconnect).
- Hard restart, just like our current ones but slightly better, shuts down the arma server and you will need to reconnect.
- Hard restart /w update. It will hard reboot so that an update can be rolled out, the restart notifications will notify players an update is coming out.
- Every 3rd restart is a hard reboot. So in theory only 2 hard reboots a day unless we roll out an update or decided to do one for some other reason.
- Admins can reduce the server time in case early-restarts are needed. This means in case of early restarts you'll get regular restart notifications.
- All players will have their data automatically synced right before restart. You shouldn't have to worry about disconnecting in advance.
- More surrender fixes, like, seriously.
- Vehicle collision damage reduced a tiny bit
- Added a check to prevent people from holding down a key and spam unlock/lock their vehicles. Applies to most keys. Holding them down wont spam their functions as they have a 0.4 second cool-down
- Disabled NLR timer for news team
- Fixed issue which prevented APD from buying Striders
- Added some checks to prevent players from logging on to the jail island, they will instead log on near it. This is to prevent meta gaming/ server hopping to jail breaks.
