that's just the new customizable hud.
to change what and how it shows, you go into the FH2 launcher --> settings --> HUD
you can even change where it shows server messages

alright, but that still does not explain why they stop firing as infantry when you stand in front of them but not when driving a tank

This is a good question I also always wondered about. That they included kind of a failsafe for infantry, but not for tanks... I think not even the devs know either, but you might want to ask in the discord about it as it is more popular.

Why don't have have it hidden on default? Since we don't have a crosshair, why not just take it further more to not knowing if you made a kill?

Because this is no military simulation. It is part of the fun to know when you made a kill or not, also it is helpful to know if you just wounded your enemy or killed him.

It is midway between fun and realism. This way you can optimize the game to your liking and others who want hud elements for example or want kill messages keep them.

studienka 64 coop crashes 5 or 10 minutes into the round, it seems to be a problem with the bots at the Studienka village flag, I tested it from german side and the soviet side once, and it crashed both times looking towards that flag.

Ok, I forgot to say that the problem is with the coop 32 version. Singleplayer and Conquest indeed work fine.

Thanks for the fast answer.
I did a clean install with the new version. Then I noticed you can set it to include checking for cmp updates too, I did that and then the launcher chrashed every time after checking for updates.

After that, I installed the now old 2.55 Launcher from the website again, but didn´t change anything else. I could play on the public server, I could play the campaign and all coop stuff too. Only Motovskiy 32 crashed while loading in the objects stage, so I concluded it must be a problem with the objects in that version of the map.
I mean, how could an older launcher cause a problem with only one layer of a map?

Even after the patch of first of July, the soviets still have spawns at the two hedgerows with stones and a tree trunk in front of the 53. Guards Tank Brigade flag when the germans capped it. Most of the time they get ignored by german tanks already at the guards flag and pose a major problem.

I hope this gets fixed, otherwise the map is really cool (I think the AT-guns and MGs at the flag respawn too fast, but that might just be me )
