Dear All
Please find below the release notes for patch v1.0.3.
New features:
- Map visibility setting for skirmish games
- New skirmish game modes: "Extra resources" and "Deathmatch"
- Observer mode in skirmish games
- The number of the maximum selectable units is increased from 24 to 100
- Workers in construction are excluded from multiselection
- Cargos assigned to mining stations are excluded from multiselection
- Selecting Custom Cursor in the Launcher locks the mouse pointer to the game window. This may cause the lag of the cursor movement as the cursor does not follow the OS pointer anymore but the position is calculated by the game. It's recommended to use the OS cursor in this case. There is a guide locking the cursor in dual-monitor setup: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1565670/guides/
- Option to set the mouse speed for custom cursor
Bug fixes:
- Invisible Zhogarn entities spawning after load game
- Zhogarn nerve clouds around buildings are stacked

Performance and crashes:
- Revert the addition of selector boxes when hovering the cursor over entities
- Revert NWJS library version from 0.54.0 to 0.52.0
