Fixes and tweaks in the update include:
- Fixed missing camo4 parts on the SLR Para rifle.
- Fixed leg shadow issues on certain uniforms.
- Fixed building geometry that could clip characters into structures.

Hello! See the detailed guide on connecting to the server on the project's website: https://solntsepeck.online/
The technical part of the server is good, but the top admin, who always plays to win, promotes his buddies and violates his own rules, and on top of that forgives them anything, literally kills the server. If you want to play on an empty server with the prospect of quarreling with a schoolboy who writes himself certain powers in one document and makes himself Marshal of the Soviet Union in another, you've come to the right place. But if you don't want to get banned because he gets a sudden brain fart, then don't come.
The server is awful: the "hardcore" aspect is that for every NPC you kill, you get one unit of currency. The players are terrible because equipment is bought once, and then you can just pick it up again for free. Nobody saves anyone—they only suck up to the admin, and he in turn doesn't control the players at all. For example, I bought a plane with a weapon for 20 points; after that, it spawned next to free helicopters. Before I could reach it to move it, a player got into a helicopter, took off, and crashed into the plane, then typed in chat: "put it somewhere else." The admin simply turned a blind eye to it, even though they were on the server at the time. So I don't recommend this server.
The administration is really top-notch — they respond promptly to requests, maintain order, and create a comfortable atmosphere.
Crafting is implemented extensively: many recipes and options for assembling/modifying equipment are available.
Leveling is structured logically: progress is tangible, and development branches give a choice of tactics and playstyle.
Overall, the server leaves a pleasant impression — I enjoy playing!
server like Exile is good. But the admin is a cretin. There are types with software, top donors. They can do anything. They brazenly write that they have a 4km render distance like donors, and you're like a poor bastard walking around with your 2500. They miraculously find you in the forest and kill you from 2km from a helicopter. Plus the online is inflated. Lots of bots imitating online players. I counted about 8 bots. Next thing is events. They are also won by people close to the admin and his wallet and heart )) Had the opportunity to chat with the admin in voice. To say he is a cretin is an understatement. I asked if there are settings to quickly use a heal, and he doesn't even know how to do it. Together with all this information, the server deserves an honest vote "not recommended". And all thanks to the stupid admin. He has some obsessive idea to drive me out; as soon as I join the server, he calls his vultures. He probably spawns all the vehicles for them just to drive me out )) Such a funny cretin.
