Precipice News

Comrades,

I want to update you all on where things are at with multiplayer connectivity issues at present.

What we know is that for some players, but not all players, the game either fails to connect or disconnects after a few turns. We are unable to find a common thread between players who are having issues, and our remaining working theories will require bringing in engine developer expertise to assess.

We haven't given in, and there are things we will be experimenting with in the future to see if we can find a fix for affected players, but until we have a solution we cannot in good conscience promise a solid multiplayer experience for everyone and will be describing multiplayer as "experimental" for now.

We are deeply disappointed about this and look forward to putting out another notice in the future promising a flawless multiplayer experience. In the interim, we will continue to work on making the single-player experience that much stronger.

* Turn limit can now be changed in single-player games.
* AI now performs Counterspy, Aid Partisan and Support Partisan actions.

* Several network optimization adjustments.
* New Action: Sabotage allows spies to permanently reduce resource generation in rival-secured countries, and reduce rival stockpiles. This will be detected, but cannot be challenged. Shore up your stability to make this harder for your rival to accomplish.
* New Action: Martial Law can be declared in your home country to reduce your domestic unrest levels if you have sufficient reserve troops available. This will reduce your popularity with other nations.
* You can now check your rival's held scoring-regions and resource inventory by holding the TAB key.
* Space race actions now require a manufactured good.

* Game tutorial updated.
* Game manual updated.
* South African speech bubble made larger.
* Minor cosmetic fixes.

* Lens buttons now bound to number keys.

* Manual updated to reflect recent changes in the game mechanics.

* Civil unrest due to war fatigue reduced by 30%.

* Turn history now broken up with turn markers.
* Achievement "Annihilation" now triggers as intended.
* Countries that are the subject of a dispute will not lose loyalty based on decisions made in that dispute.
