Hi everyone!
I just learned how to post these announcements, so I guess we will start using them for patch notes and other updates.
I've pasted all of our patch notes since the launch below.
Don't hesitate to reach out via the Steam community, subreddit, or Discord server if you have any questions, problems, or feedback!
Best,

Choose Your Target Event!
March 16th, 2018
In today's event, both players get a free Apollo that can target their choice of red, blue, or green base set units. Players can choose from an Anti-R Apollo that targets Tarsier and Rhino, an Anti-G Apollo that targets Gauss Cannon and Forcefield, or an Anti-B Apollo that targets Wall and Steelsplitter. Once players make their choices, there's no going back, so choose carefully!

Bugfixes
March 14th, 2018
We fixed a serious bug that was causing a crash on game start for some Steam users due to an Adobe AIR warning. See this post for more information. Thanks to everyone who reported it!
We also fixed a soft-lock that was occurring in the tutorial in the armory.

Software update
March 14th, 2018
Hello everyone! Today's update is a bunch of small tweaks, bugfixes, and quality-of-life improvements based on feedback from the past few days. We've made the following changes:
- Updated the automatcher algorithm parameters for Ranked Play and Casual Match to favour closer matches. This will increase wait times in some cases, but should not be an issue now that the server is more busy.
- Adjusted the 'Organize Your Attack' challenge in Combat Training. It's now easier, but has a much more difficult bonus objective.
- Made some internal adjustments to how subtextures are handled. This should save about 80MB of ram usage in some cases!
- The default number of units in vs computer and vs player games is now 5 for new users. The Casual Match unit slider is now initialized at Fewer Units for new players as well.
- The position of buybox tabs (closed, open, half-open) is now remembered between games.
- Added a new 'Waste' effect that appears near the resource bar when Behemium and Replicase are wasted at the end of turn. This is experimental, we'd like your feedback on whether we should keep it!
- Compressed the background images using DXT and LZW compression to save memory.
- Fixed it so that emails would be obfuscated when displayed on screen in some locations of the software.
Additionally, we've implemented the following bugfixes:
- Fixed a bug where the experience bar would not animate when players gained experience but didn't level up.
- Fixed a bug where the supporter tier of a player (Engineer Tier, Steelsplitter Tier, etc.) might not be inferred correctly by the code.
- Fixed a bug where file corruption could result in the game never loading.
- Fixed a bug where the campaign conversation queues could crash the game if you used undo at the same time.
- Fixed a bug where chat would scroll to the bottom in situations where it wasn't supposed to.
- Fixed a number of other tiny bugs and interface annoyances.
