changedChristmas Challenge!Christmas is closing in to round this strange year off. This month we will run a shorter season beginning now and ending in early 2021. Everyone who wins at least 20 pvp matches during this season will unlock an exclusive Desert Camo skin for the Su-27, normally only available to our high tier Patreon supporters. Not sure if a desert skin really fits Christmas, but who cares? It looks badass regardless!
addedEngine upgradeBefore this patch, I updated the game engine to a much newer version, in order to ensure the game stays playable on new hardware, let it make use of engine optimizations and make future updates easier to perform. Engine updates are always a little risky, but I hope no game breaking bugs did make it into the build. Just let me know if something seems off, and I'll do my best to fix it.

Twitch integration fix

The Twitch integration hasn't beeing working for a while (sorry for that), but now it's running again. If you're streaming on Twitch, your viewers can type !creep in the chat to join the game as one of the ground forces, and you will see their names in there!
