Soldiers now reply with audio when you give them an order. They also let you know when they are under attack or have spotted an enemy. Care was taken so the soldiers only shout out when it makes sense and don't spam.

Some newer Unreal Engine 5 technologies like Temporal Super Resolution (TSR) can be heavy on computers that don't have the latest GPUs. So now there are options to switch to older technologies like Fast Approximate Anti-Aliasing (FXAA) or turn Anti-Aliasing off completely. In some cases newer technologies might actually be faster than older ones, so it's best to play around with the settings and see what works for you.

Another optimization was done for CPU performance. Moving lots of soldiers around the map is actually very CPU intensive, as they need to calculate movement physics and update all their collision shapes and transforms. Now when AI soldiers are very far away from human players they switch to a lightweight mode where their movement is updated a lot less.
