===Patch 1.27===

* Fixed up target window button position
* Fixed sticking buttons problem
* Disabled save in multiplayer
* Cannot quicksave from barter window, and many other fullscreen windows.

====Game====
* Single player recruits pool greatly improved.

* Fixed armor pierce values for 2mmEC, Flamer Fuel and Explosive rounds
* Rocket launcher damage increased 20%
* Some of the special encounter traders have more useful items for barter.
* Fixed sentry modes losing user target
* Tweaked down armor piercing ammo strength.
* Fixed nasty bug with Turn-Based AI reactions.
* Disabled cautious nature, since it does nothing.
* Tough Guy is now double XP
* Fixed multiple attacks in one fire sequence
* Brain Kills dont shift alignment
* Death sense perk now available
* Flamer does damage sooner so the pain and death animations caused look better
* Books no longer print a message twice
* When stealing, everything weighs at least 0.1, this means things that normally weigh 0 like BOS script, actually get harder to steal when there is lots of them
* EMP damage +50% against non-living, -50% otherwise
* Fixed Mutate perk
* Dogs have some optional trait changes.
* Fixed duration of drug and other consumable effects
* Path finding more robust during collisions.

* Swift leaner perk correctly gives +5% XP instead of 1 XP
* The science bonus to criticals on robots is working properly
* Camera centers on players actors when reentering missions
* Tweaked barter skill calculations so that the BAD pricing side of the scale (when you have worse skill) changes twice as fast as you put up skill. And the GOOD side of the scale (with better skill) changes in a more linear way. Basically I fixed the math.
* Dead large actors (Behemoths etc) are no longer ethereal (cant walk through them)
* Non bos human races can use first aid skill etc
* Fixed random encounters chance so that frame rate does not alter the chance of encounters, as a result it should be more consistent (and lower) on all machines.
* Fixed nasty recruit pool bugs
* Fixed errant stat changes from hand items
* Free heal for bandaged/winded/concussed whenever heal rate kicks in (each hour in game, rapidly while moving around world map)
* Fixed problem where vehicles would keep moving when arriving on a new map
* PathFind - Fixed problem with large critters and some ladders
* Doctor skill lets you heal bandaged state, without getting the error message
* Squad Turn Based - Restores previous turns selection states
* Random encounters much rarer, fixed many errors in the random encounter chance code
* Fixed a path finding bug with ladder tops and building gutters
====Missions====
* Mission 1 has a lot more healing loot.
* Tutorial movies are also available from the pip-boy archive
* Fixed problem where Mission 3 Rock Falls, gate switch works one time only and will fail if gate motion is blocked by another character.
* Mission 11. Fixed bug which meant that if you killed the mutant generals and then killed the mutant attackers the ghoul elder (Defcon) would not say his last line of dialogue and the exit grid would not appear)
* Mission 4. Added some steps to the ledge of one of the buildings in mission 4 to stop characters getting stuck on the ledge. Theoretically they can't get onto the ledge anyway but at least one guy has managed to get his character stuck there.
* The broken ladder in St. Louis should now be fixed.
* Movies only play the first time, and not when you revisit bunkers.
====Vehicles====
* The APC is no longer higher than walls, and thus no longer becomes stuck indoors.
* Fixed vehicle and character duplication bug
* Stopped vehicle losing inventory when left behind on maps
====Sound====
* Black Screen of Death. New DirectSound device detection to prevent lockup of Tactics on startup. If the client machine has an invalid device set as default, FOT will ignore it and search for a usable device.
* Plays sound when using shortcut keys to switch between textlog / minimap
* Vehicle engine volume lowered in TB when not vehicles turn
====Engine====
* Choppiness

* Re-Enabled sync testing
* Added team-respawning option

* Levelling works correctly in TB multiplayer.
* Fixed crash bugs involving kicking and session lost in startup screens.
* Re*enabled kick option on readiness screen.
