1.6 is Released.
This is the Final version of the campaign.
The main feature of this update is fixing the Stringtable Dictionary crash on the finale and improving the overall polish of the campaign. To do this, I've increased the resolution of most textures by a factor of about 4x -- done using an AI. Other polish work includes improved navigation for bots and infected as well as more detailed environments.
