Update 32 - Major Improvements

We have another major update for you. With the 32nd update we looked into fixing one of the worst remaining issues with KW4 - occasional crash when changing levels or engaging in extremely dense combat. This issue was coming from game using too much visual memory - that we managed to finally find a perfect workaround. As a minor inconvenience - you will notice half a second load times when creating new campaign or using Diplomacy window.

In addition today`s update includes better stability, decreased loading times and improvements to the fundamentals of gameplay and performance. You will also notice improvements to world map interactions between cities and armies - fixing a number of rare issues - like armies not getting invited into battles, or clicking on armies or towns to attack not working correctly.

Also please keep in mind that we are migrating to a new server hosting provider this week, and expect online features of the game to be offline until September 12th or so.
