We've been battling through to get you this new update and we are pleased to bring you Custom Battles! Along side being able to choose your own fleets and locations this update continues to bring graphical and optimisation improvements.
To play Ironclad with this latest patch before it goes live to everybody, right click Victory At Sea Ironclad in your Steam library, click "Properties...", and click the BETAS tab. From the dropdown menu, choose "firstlook". There is no password required.
As always please keep sending us your feedback as we will be tweaking and fixing beyond the bugs. We try to monitor all your conversations and suggestions but if you think that we are not addressing a feature please post on the community forum either in General Discussions or Bug Reports and let us know what specifically is causing you issues.
We sometimes miss specific things in long conversations and don’t tend to read comments on the announcements (as it’s hard to directly reply to people on there) so it’s good to have it’s own thread, we would rather have more than one thread on a subject than not have one at all.
