FIXES/CORRECTIONS/OPTIMIZATIONS

- Various anti-cheat measures that disable all cheats we have seen to date. Detected cheaters will be kicked out of the game session with a Loss result.
- Bug correction: when someone lost without Surrendering, occassionally the Observer mode wasn't accessible
- Bug correction: you are no longer able to see opposing players' beacons
- Bug correction: under certain circumstances, a mixed selection of SHIELD units in Gatling and Missile Launcher mode failed to return fire if attacked while having a STOP command
- Bug correction: destroying a bank no longer causes a crash
- Bug correction: returning a heavily wounded Mortar Team to the Field Hospital no longer causes a crash
- Bug correction: under certain circumstances, launching two Tactical Weapons simultaneosly on the same spot could cause a crash
- Bug correction: sometimes the connection was lost during a Quick Match hook-up
- Bug correction: under certain circumstances with serious lag in a multiplayer game, the lagging player's loading screen would freeze at 100%, forcing a hard reset
- Bug correction: replays were sometimes not synchronized correctly before the launch of the game, resulting in blank replay files
- Bug correction: under certain circumstances with severe lag, it was possible to capture a POW several times
- Bug correction: under certain circumstances, a quick Surrender or Disconnect could be recorded as a Win or a Loss in the ladder ranking
- German localization correction: when you can't build a structure in a certain location, the voice over informs you that you *can't* build there.
- Clarified error message when an incorrect password is entered + added option to request password to be sent by e-mail
- Optimization: several latency/bandwidth optimizations have been made, especially improving performance in bigger games
- Optimization: faster downloading of players' profiles
- Possible fix for the "38% crash on loading screen" issue (likely caused by a memory allocation failure); as we still however haven't been able to reproduce this bug internally, we also haven't been able to verify this fix.
