Release Notes - 2022-06-09



Attention, General!

Today's update brings several bug fixes to Call of War and a new match ending screen for the new Beta Client on desktop.

The new match ending screen of the Beta Client provides you with detailed information about your performance in the game round, it features statistics about produced and destroyed units and information related to the match. Something to check out in the Beta Client when your next match ends.

Apart from the new ending screen for the Beta Client, several bugs got fixed with this release. Opening the Espionage menu does not trigger an error anymore when multiple provinces are selected in the Province Administration. Planes sent on a patrol mission do not just appear at their destination anymore, and the tooltip for speeding up research times in the research menu provides the correct times no matter the speed factor of a map.

For a complete overview of all the changes and bug fixes, please check out our detailed Release Notes and share your feedback with us on the Forums and on our Discord Server.

We wish you best of luck on the battlefield!

Due to popular demand from the community, the 30-player map 1939 Historic World War can now be created as a private map by any player with a Premium Account. You can join these private maps for free if you yourself have a Premium Account, or for a fee of 5,000 gold if you do not have a Premium Account. Please note that we will monitor this new option closely and may adjust or remove the map if necessary.

With today's update we re-worked the "Home Screen" of the new Beta Client to improve its usability and provide you with the most valuable information and options immediately after entering the game.

Last but not least, we implemented a change designed to increase game performance and address FPS drops when hovering over elements on the map.
