[p][/p][p]Over the past few months, players using certain telecommunications carriers have reported to us that they often experience disconnection issues after 7-8 rounds. After investigation, we suspect that there may be a very small number of telecommunications carriers whose Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is abnormally small. Therefore, in this update, we attempt to improve this issue by significantly reducing the size of the game's network message. We hope this helps.[/p][p][/p]

• [p]Fixed multiple issues that caused the game to freeze[/p]
• [p]Fixed multiple display issues[/p]

[p][/p][p]Hello, Commanders![/p][p]The fourth season of Mechabellum is coming on July 3rd. Today, we hope to give you a preview of all the content coming to Mechabellum during season 4. The fourth season starts on July 3rd and ends on October 2nd. Currently, Mechabellum has more than 30 different units. In the new Season 4, we hope to add something other than units. The season includes two major updates, Update 1.6 and Update 1.7. Here is a brief look at these 2 updates:[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]New Seasonal Rewards[/h2][p]In Season 4, we have prepared many new rewards for you, including many avatars, avatar frames, emoticons, and unit skins. You will learn more about them in the detailed 1.6 patch notes.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]New Music[/h2][p]The new music originally planned to be released in Season 3 finally arrived in Season 4. In Season 4, the system will play different music tracks for you based on the current round and the HP of both players.[/p][p][/p][h2]Mountain and Farseer Became Core Units[/h2][p]The Titan-class unit Mountain and the support vehicle Farseer, which were previously only available through reinforcement cards, can now be unlocked at any time in all modes. We have also added new Techs for these two units.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Major Balance Adjustments[/h2][p]Season 4 is our first season without any new units, which gives us the opportunity to do some major balance adjustments. We will continue to make major balance adjustments throughout Season 4. You will learn more in the detailed patch notes of future updates.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]New Battlefield Elements - Buildings[/h2][p]Unlike buildings in traditional RTS games, buildings in Mechabellum are more like terrain features. We have made various types of buildings, including cannons, walls, etc. Players will not be able to directly position these buildings. The buildings will be placed on the map in advance by the system. The new building system will add a new strategic dimension to the game, while also giving players more basis for the first few rounds of deployment.[/p][p]Note: Since the building system will have a major impact on game balance, it is difficult for us to accurately estimate development time for such a system. There is a possibility that the release of the building system could be delayed.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]That's all for the preview of the major updates of Season 4. And more details will be listed in the subsequent patch notes. Commanders, see you on the battlefield of Season 4 of Mechabellum![/p]

Our testers are testing the brand new Update 1.6, which is expected to be officially released in early July. And before the arrival of Update 1.6, we would like to make some minor adjustments to Void Eye.
[h3]Balance Adjustments[/h3]
Void Eye

• [Electromagnetic Armor] EMP duration 5s → 4s
  
• When the enemy's EMP attacks hit Void with [Electromagnetic armor], [Electromagnetic armor] will be disabled by the attacker's EMP effect first, which means the attacking unit will not suffer EMP effects from [Electromagnetic armor].
  

Developer's note: This change is intended to provide players with more ways to counter [Electromagnetic Armor].
[h3]Bugfixes[/h3]

• Fixed multiple spectating issues.

[h3]Balance Adjustments[/h3]
Void Eye

• Attack interval 3.5s → 3.2s
  
• Attack 917 → 1008 (+10%)
  

Developer's note: Last patch improved Void Eye's survivability a lot, and this time we would like to make it easier for Void Eye to destroy enemy units.

Phoenix

• Attack interval 3.2s→ 3.4s
  

Developer's note: The nerf to Phoenix will give other early-game damage dealers like Sabertooth and Void Eye more room to shine.

Tarantula

• Health point 14404 → 13683 (-5%)
  

Developer's note: Tarantual is still performing better than other starting units. Since the newly buffed Void Eye will make the early game Tarantula even stronger, we think it is reasonable to nerf Tarantula a little.

Reinforcement card

• Removed [Quick Cooldown]
  

Developer's note: [Quick Cooldown] has too much influence on specific matchups. We have decided to temporarily remove this card and bring it back after finding a suitable balance solution for it.

Fixed multiple display issues.
