I will be rolling out the patch to all servers tonight starting at approximately 5:30 PM EST. All server should be updated within a 20-30 minute timeframe and I will start with those that are empty to allow players enough notice to finish up their game. Don't forget to restart Steam and grab the update.

Patch Notes:
In this update, the first thing you will notice is we have done a lot of additions to our map, Factory. A few key things to check out are the sewing room, updated tunnels and a unique billboard for one of our backers. There are other new elements as well so take a look around! As a continuation of our ongoing weapons tuning, this week we focused on the pistols. The 226 was unusually accurate and effective over excessively long ranges, and all other pistols enjoyed the same range if not the same accuracy. They have now been tuned to better reflect realism.
The new anti-cheat was pulled from the build this morning because it introduced instability so requires more work. Our dev testers did a bang up job testing this over the last week or so and uncovered numberous things for both our developers and the anti-cheat developer to work on to improve the security of the servers. The instability they uncovered caused hard crashes of the server and is not what we want to put on our public build so more work is required before this can be released.To deal with this, all anti-cheat files were pulled back out of the build this morning so we could confirm stability with that code removed. We are unsure how long the stability fix will take as it must be done by a separate company. More to folllow when known.
