Good luck, have fun, and we will see you on the battlefield!
Dev Developments and v1.0.5.088 Patchnotes
Our engineers are at it again! This week we improved the patching experience (file looping will occur much less frequently) and introduced a few quality of life changes for those who occasionally disconnect from the client. This was a 100% live patch which meant we had zero downtime! Pretty exciting, right?
We also updated our Ban & Watch Lists yesterday. Check out this article by Corey Burkhart which goes over each change and our reasoning for them.

Clash Stream
Nero Jinous will be Clashing it up on the hextcg twitch channel while the tournament is in progress! Be sure to tune in about 15 minutes before the Clash starts for some pre-game hype. He will be doing HEX-themed art and some limited exercises between rounds, so it should be a party.
