It's been a while, but we've got the most stable update yet ready for you. We think we've fixed 99.9% of the crashing issues introduced by 0.3 patch and now it should be getting better and better as we go. We're gearing up for the 0.6 Warzone Patch, so treat this one as a maintenance update more than a proper update. This doesn't mean we didn't add stuff to the game, though, so let's check out the patch notes.

Soldiers!
 
We're proud to present to you 0.6 Live patch. This one adds two (!) new maps, one that you saw already in the form of a prototype and one brand new one. We've got a massive Warzone rework here, with mobile spawnpoints, the leader being able to spawn on their squadmates, helis flying over the heads, bullet penetration being set up on all levels, jamming and UAV improvements, more neutral vehicles on the maps and a lot more. New weapons, new customizations, and maybe most of all: stability and performance.
 
We've focused on making this one as good as we can make it and it shows. World War 3 runs much better now and the instability issues were mostly resolved. This doesn't mean this is as good as it gets, far from it - we can still do a lot and will continue to improve on the performance aspect as well as gameplay.
 
Let's dig in!
