Release Notes 27/11/2014
New online Server
We are pleased to announce that we have fixed the crash bug that has been affecting multiplayer for some users.
This was caused by match data becoming corrupted while being sent to the server. We have since fixed the bug causing the corruption thus preventing the crash from occurring in newly made matches. Unfortunately, we are unable to fix existing matches experiencing the crash and so attempting to open those matches will still result in a crash. Although we are able to delete the individual crash cases from the server, these matches would reappear as soon as either of the match participants came online.
We have concluded that the best method to get rid of all the crashing matches is to use a new online server which you will connect to automatically on downloading the latest patch. This means that all matches from the previous server are no longer accessible by default. You will however still be able to access the old server to finish any matches in progress. You will not be able to create new matches on the old server. Please see the forum post for more details.

To change back to the new server, on step 4 change the value back to ‘0’.
