Notes

Crashes are really the most important thing that needs to be addressed, with all the new players in the game it has become obvious that these crashes escaped alpha testing and testers, but that they are very real in the game as it stands. This update helped add a bug fix that should stop crashing altogether, but please let me know if you continue to experience crashes and when they happened, what you were doing, etc. As a side note, so long as no major problems or glitches arrive I want to aim for releasing the most voted upcoming feature, the Operations game mode. This will take a while since it's an entirely new mode and will likely also require me to redo a bit of the matchmaking and the server's system, but like I said so long as no major bugs or problems arise I should be able to start working toward it. Should the game have a minimap? It was the most voted feature of the last survey but there are arguments going both ways. Let me know and take a vote: Minimap Survey
