Patch 1.04 (June 20)

- Error Logging

We've added more detailed error logging into the game to help us fix issues resulting in crashes to desktop.

- Background Image Scaling

We've scaled down some of the background art (without losing quality), as we suspect people with graphics cards that barely meet the system requirements were struggling with this.

- Twitch Integration Issues

Fixes to support 260/480p streaming options.
Letterboxing to maintain aspect ratio when playing in non-widescreen resolutions.

- Windowed Mode

Fixed an issue that resulted in the game client not entering windowed mode when unchecking the fullscreen option.
Fixed the window bar being hidden in windowed mode at the highest resolution.

Patch 1.02 (June 17)

- Friend Invites
We noticed that there were a number of issues concerning getting into a game via Friend Invites. This was not being handled well, and we have a new fix in place for this.

- Conquer the World Nation Swapping
This issue has been corrected for all maps. The only known exception is that if your army is in a nation that was swapped, then that army will still be in the swapped location.
This is corrected by simply clicking on your army and trying to move them. This will snap the army back to the correct location.

- VSync Fixes
VSync was causing the game to be less responsive than it should. We've introduced a fix to correct this.

- Lobby Region Filter
Switched the default lobby filter to Worldwide.

- DirectX 9 Check
We instituted a few checks at the start of the game that should eliminate the DX9 and Vista players from getting the intro videos to appear. This could also correct the issue that high-end PCs might have been having as well, but we're still unsure about this.

- Launcher
Fixed various launcher issues.

Patch 1.01 (June 14)

Fixed:

ALT-Tab causing the sound to stop
CPU usage dramatically increasing when game is minimized
Crashes due to switching from ranked to unranked games.
ELO scores not showing in ranked lobbies
Localization issues
City transparency- a user could see through the city windows to the grid lines.

Patch 1.05 (June 26)
A new patch just went live! As always, such fixes and implementations wouldn't be possible without feedback from this amazing community. Your bug reports and suggestions continue to be helpful during the development and bug squashing processes. Keep 'em coming!

Patch Notes

Chat System
- We have introduced a new chat system that will allow users to chat in and out of the game via the Steam group chat system.
- Besides the seven official chat groups, users can create their own by themselves. Custom chat groups (clans) can be added to the list as described in the adding custom chat groups instructions at http://steamcommunity.com/app/287450/di ... 444899537/.


Number of Players Online
- Users can now see how many other players are currently online and playing the game. This number is displayed at the bottom of the game browser.


Recent Players
- We are now surfacing who the user has most recently played against. In order to view this information from your Steam client, go to View and click Players. A new window will appear and display who you most recently played against.


ELO Tweaks
- We had some users report that they were having issues with their ELO displaying. We have added more safeguards to correct this issue and ensure that ELO scores are being displayed properly.


Diagnostics
- Added more diagnostic and error logging to get more detailed information to better track user issues.
