It's been a week and a half, and we deployed a few patches now. We continue with post release support, slowly working our way down the bugs reported and I wanted to give all of you an update on what you can expect before we close down for the winter holiday.

- This week you can expect the changes talked about in the previous ‘Coal Update’ post and these will be released with the 1.17.2 patch. It also contains over 100 bug fixes & improvements.

- We continue with AI improvements, specifically we are looking at various edge cases that the AI has trouble handling, and fixing these will make the Naval AI improve overall.

- After this patch, we are working towards a 1.17.3 patch that we aim to release this year. Please keep submitting bugs, as we look at all of them.

We highly recommend that bug reports are posted in the Bug Report section of our Forum, as that is where we track the majority of issues that the community submits!
