• improved cached region selection

• for Chinese players, we're now routing through the Russia East region. Our Chinese partners have tested the patch and were able to play online, but since I can't test it myself, if you are in China and are still experiencing connection issues please don't hesitate to get in touch!

We also posted an update on Kickstarter which outlines our plan for the coming weeks to improve the game's experience. It was originally mostly intended for our backers, but it's available for anyone to view so if you are interested in where the game is headed, please feel free to visit it here. And finally thank you to everyone who backed and/or purchased the game, and to everyone who left reviews, whether negative (your feedback is what helps us improve the game) or positive (your kind words are what keeps us pushing forward). We plan to release another update next week which will address some seemingly smaller but potentially annoying issues, as well as more balancing and slowly but surely more content, so keep an eye out for that. Cheers everyone!
