It'll be done by the time V1.08a is released.

Bug Fixes will continue if any bugs are found but no major features will be introduced till release. Thanks for your support. We're working hard to deliver our promises to you. The multiplayer lobby is just one of them. Please, help us test out the lobby during our team break. We'll be on the lookout for any feedback and/or report of bugs. Thanks you very much!

Known bugs

  • Sometimes fighters circle around their targets on the client side due to a mis-sync which we have yet to determine the cause. We should be able to resolve it at the release build.
