Desynced News

We wanted to highlight a video today by Thom, who has never touched the Desynced modding tools before but was able to make this cool video! It's a custom scenario in LUA that runs in real-time! We can't wait to see what the community can come up with! Feel free to share it on your social media![previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

*Update* The public test server is now closed. Thanks everyone who helped us test!



-------old-------
For the next couple of days we're running "Stage Test Server" to test the limits
of how many people can be in the game before it starts lagging, etc. The theoretical limits have yet to be tested (can we get to 999 players??). Feel free to join, open factions, start a new base together, lock your factions and play alone, etc and keep it connected!

Get and/or start the Demo, and then join "Stage Test Server"! Your cooperation is much appreciated!
