Hey guys.

We’re planning on releasing an intermediate patch on Friday, and the accompanying server upgrade will mean there’s a bit of downtime – probably late morning GMT on Friday.

This patch is mainly to test the functionality of our menu changes, and to find out which work and which don’t. This patch is not particularly polished but the in-game functionality should be no worse than the current beta. This patch is mandatory – at this stage of production, when we’re ramping up to release, we need testing more than ever, and we need everyone’s opinions on this stuff. Graphically especially, the patch is not very polished.

This release will not have any of our Single Player stuff in it, however the Random AI Match has been changed to use the new AI and includes explosive units so there is a little sugar in there.
