We are currently compiling a list of bugs that players may experience on initial launch, which we will be addressing ASAP. We will be posting more information within the next two days in both our announcements and Steam forums. If you find a bug and would like to contribute to our efforts, please drop a post in our 🐜Bug Reporting sub forum🐜.

In addition, we want to evolve Dual Combat into the best version it can be. That means we want to hear from YOU! Yes, you! Player feedback is important to us, so if you think of any ideas, suggestions, or improvements you would like to see in the game, let us know in our 💡Suggestions sub forum💡.

We've got a few things already cooking in the kitchen, so follow the game to be notified of updates and announcements. We will be using the Dual Combat Steam forums as our main communication hub until further notice. While celebrating this milestone, we will be taking a much needed break between June 8-22. However, before then we will be issuing a small patch update fixing a few bugs.

Good luck on the battlefield, soldier, and thank you for your support!!🌟
