dedmen added a comment to T189277: Missile fuseDistance config property has no effect.

Problemo. As usual backwards compat bites back.
Missions tend to spawn Missiles/Rockets/Bombs to cause explosions, by spawning them directly inside the target, expecting it to explode immediately (because it hit something).
For example YAAB benchmark is broken by this, it spawns R_60mm_HE rockets and Bo_GBU12_LGB bombs, both of which have a fuseDistance of 50. So after this change, they just don' t explode anymore.

Indeed specifically binarized files.
Just binarizing this

class AddonsMetaData
{
	class List
	{
		class Item0
		{

	};
};

does repro the issue.

dedmen changed the status of T189277: Missile fuseDistance config property has no effect from New to Feedback.

Bit of a problem is that you'd still expect the missile to hit and do damage, like a bullet does, without exploding.
For that we try to simulate it, like we do with UGL grenades. That is based on the projectile's mass, which for missiles is quite large.
So you can now one-shot kill people by shooting them in the chest with a vorona missile :D

The RSA messages are known, but they are just noise and don't actually cause any issues.
I tried to fix them but couldn't figure it out and couldn't track down why they happen, its something related to bisign validation, I know our input data into openssl is correct (or rather, the same as on windows) but it just doesn't like it.
