We're a machine! It's what we do!
We’ve been hard at work this week, adding tons of fixes, tweaks and polish to the game. We’ve spent a considerable chunk of time working on general multiplayer online stability, there’s new music and sfx, and generally things have been tweaked and balanced to be even more fun than before.
Some of this is in response to the bugs we encountered in the Who Wants to Be a Killionaire? update, and others are in preparation for next week’s big update - more on that soon!

Sadly, though we’ve had a valiant effort (and are very very close indeed) we’ve still not solved the issue whereby players can’t join a hosted game if it’s the same host as last time. The best fix is to boot out of Tango and then back in - we’re so close, we nearly had it, but time waits for no man… let alone no goddamn weekly update :D
So what are these lovely changes that we’ve introduced - read on intrepid Tango Fiesta-nator!
