About experience. I just found what when my aquanaut threw Magna-pack explosive  to enemy, he's not get experience after enemy get killed by explosion (used ctrl+e to check who not get exp yet). The pack was primed by another guy. What I'm doing wrong or why it happened? A few posts before people said what person who throw will get experience. But seems it's not working like mentioned. Or this is "hidden" throwing experience what not affected by ctrl+e combination and all aquanauts need shoot and hit target?

It's a bug in oxce 6.5, will be fixed in oxce 6.5.1.

A very small request: please from that version on may we get a changelog.txt file, on win and linux?

Are recommended user options taken into account when you revert options/config to default or are there any plans to introduce a seperate button for this?

I've missed this, what was the bug that was fixed concerning instant grenades?

Instant smoke grenades don't kill you anymore.

I just finished "training" mission in TWoST killing few creepers. I had four aquanauts on board with gas cannons loaded explosives rounds. All what I did is killing few enemies until all get experience. After I abort the mission. But I was surprised when on statistic mission screen I got throwing accuracy bonus for all my guys.  I'm not threw any items just grab and put down same cannons while rotating aquanauts in fire queue. Is it normal? Is this just bonus throwing experience or may be another small bug? Long ago I've read what you guys (developers of OXCE) removed free throwing experience bug fixing exploit using for throw just random staff like flares and e.t.c. that why I'm asking.
Update:
Another mission, guys who used gas cannons and keeps them in hands all battle got throwing experience too. It' may be "feature" of projectile weapons, because rounds using parabola trajectory what count as throwing?

These warnings exist already since May 2019, more than a year.

Looks like YAML syntax error in the ruleset.

Is anyway lock difficulty of mod using rule set files? Like example, when player start the game he has no option but one difficulty only and Ironman set on and can not be changed (buttons grey out).
