As usual, Final Hours brings you more maps, as well as balance changes for the vanilla & Back to War divisions.

4 maps:

• Novka: a region of many lakes and small villages, perfect for infantry or cavalry units to fight tanks
  
• Mogilev: a mostly flat and largely open terrain, more suitable for tank battles.
  
• Lipen: a wooded area compartmentalized by several rivers
  
• Sianno: a map of plateau, woods & lakes, crossed by two major roads.

Steel Division 2 is in the last stretch of its Beta. This means that you might encounter some bugs or glitches. If you do find something untoward, please make sure to report it through this form . Also, when the game crashes, an automatic email is sent to Eugen, with all the technical details we need. Don’t hesitate to drop us a line to give us a more comprehensive bug report.

The Steel Division 2 FAQ will be continuously updated throughout all the beta.

With Steel Division 2 still being in Beta, it also means that we want to hear your battle reports; what you liked, what you disliked, what you missed in the game. We will send you a survey, with a questionnaire, that will cover all the different aspects of the game. Let us know what you think! You can also leave your constructive feedback through the Steam Beta forums. We read every single comment and suggestion and try to answer each one as much as possible.

Lastly: trolling, abusive language, or any message that doesn’t follow the Steamhub’s rules will be moderated. Treat each other with respect. We play hard, commander, but fair.

Now, get back into the game and see you on the battlefield!
