There are some changes scheduled in the very near future with Mercury's core authentication routines. Because they have been rewritten from scratch there might be some breakage in items which are authenticated to groups of people. Items which have been unlocked on a personal level should remain unaffected. The main problems are probably to arise with squad specific gear. I will give a heads up to people that are online when the test code gets put into production, huds and things will fail to auth during those few minutes. What to do when stuff stops working afterwards: Report this to your direct CO/NCO, NOT to me directly ! Use the chain of command for this one, if I get 20 IM's saying gun such and so stopped working and 1 saying something else broke then there is a good chance I will miss that 1 thing as i'm just hitting x a lot to get rid of all the identical im's. Once an officer gets the report they can just give it to me if its something they hadn't told me already. This should keep the amount of confusing spam I get to a minimum so I can actually look at 'why isn't it working'. Hopefully I tested everything properly and there will be a minimum of problems, but as history has shown, there's always someone doing something unexpected.
