Public Test Version 3.3.9 & Playtest

[Strygun]

A new Public Test version has been pushed to the test servers in response to bugs which were found by the playerbase in the previous version. Here are the notes:

• Fixed a client crash related to keymappings.
• Corrected keymaps that may have been changed to an invalid state in the previous update.
• Fixed an issue that would force keyboard layouts to the QWERTY standard.
• Kills with a Prowler or Vanguard will count properly to the Ground Gunner commendation.
• The Sniper (Bronze) Merit Commendation has been fixed and can be attained now.
• Reaver kills will count properly to the Air Cavalry award.
• Adjusted flight vehicle afterburn (Reaver, Mossy, Lodestar, Galaxy) to be an initial "jolt" with no sustaining camera shake while the AfterBurner is on.

The QA Team has also announced a Public Playtest which will occur tomorrow. Here's the details:
