===== Beta 3.91 change log =====

** Hi everyone, **

Just to keep you on your toes - here's an update to Beta 3.9 called 3.91.

See the full change log below.
  * Avoid crashing if neither the main texture nor the alt texture are usable, instead fallback to the same behaviour we would use if the main texture did not exist
  * Replaced a missing station prototype with one that exists
  * Survive the situation where fused text meshes (and other types) have more characters than the maximum. 4 "Paul-Friederichs Expedition Base Camp" station names fused together are too much for the current maximum
  * Prevent crash when in a location with no faction
  * Improve entry into first location – could help with some peculiar connection issues
  * Fix crash opening UI panel using left shift
  * Made the the new freetrack protocol cope with missing functions in the dll. This should prevent the crash on startup some users are seeing
  * Reload all ammo no longer free
  * More consistent, and more frequent USSs
  * Don't allow child stars to be considered for mission variables
  * Fix "Missing faction for location polity" error win tutorial stations
  * Planet generation: Changed the way that the effects are loaded – prevent connection loss is texture generation takes too long
  * Changed the star hotspots calculation to cope with the asynchronous behaviour of the effect loading
  * Fix AI ships not being able to fire gimballed multi-cannons
  * Fix the difference in repair costs due to not taking into account the faction relationship of the player for that station
  * Speculative fix for failure to set up a talk channel
  * Fixes for typos in mission branching
  * Fixed X55 binding file so it should work correctly
  * Focus now passed back to game after alt-tabbing
  * Increased the cool down for Frame Shifting to 40 seconds for all ships
  * Moved the blast shield animation into the pad raising state (added a delay on the small pad launch state so that the blast shield doesn't raise again straight away
  * Additional telemetry to help understand why some location entries take extended amounts of time
  * Fix broken pulse laser audio
  * Refactored special treatment of ship rtpcs when arriving from supercruise
  * Reduce unnecessary web traffic in interdictions
  * Some shadowing fixes
  * Remove Russian as a supported language. Because it's not a supported language yet
  * Adding some fixes for malformed newsfeed symbols
  * Bail out of application startup if there are no suitable display modes available

Thanks again everyone, enjoy!

Ed
