Supreme Ruler 2030 Update 10 is now Live for all users

Summer time doesn't move as fast, but work is continuing for the Supreme Ruler series. Our apologies that there has been a longer than usual gap between public updates. The last few fasttrack updates we released had some elements we were concerned could have negative effects on gameplay, we needed more time to evaluate those changes before pushing it out to all users.

There are lots of changes across various areas. The weather system wasn't working properly and has been fixed. The visual effects of unit shot, hit and kill have been updated. We found a cause of multiplayer sync errors and have solved it, hopefully that's the last remaining such issue. Some changes also relate to the existing WW1 scenario or the upcoming DLCs for 1936 Remastered and Global Outbreak.

For anyone who missed the annoucement of those other two DLCs, you can watch the video here; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYYjQABgW3A&t=27s
