CHANGELOG

Fixed: Memory consumption of loading binarized objects with PhysX convex components
Fixed: Crash caused by corruptions in (mod) data

Fixed: Unable to start BattlEye Launcher if its compatibility settings force the system to elevate it ("Run this program as an administrator" is set in the arma3battleye.exe compatibility settings)
Added: New message boxes to communicate problems with the game or BattlEye start
Fixed: CTD that occurred when arma3.exe was missing, the user disregarded the warning, and clicked on the PLAY button in the Launcher
Fixed: Simple fix for false-positive detection of termination of the game process when in fact the game hadn't started due to waiting for BattlEye Launcher to start it

Updated: Stand-alone Windows Dedicated Server (hotfix 1.48)
Updated: Stand-alone Linux Dedicated Server (hotfix 1.48)
