Dear Martians,
We apologize for the lack of updates on Steam. The last weeks we had been busy fixing many of the bugs you guys reported to us and some communication got lost in the midst of it. But we are back and here are the changelogs of all the patches we pushed out this season, starting with today's patch:

Further Announcements:
* as you know, we keep fighting for improvements. In this regard, we'll push a new patch pretty soon in order to keep improving the current version and mitigate the collateral damages of the recent disconnections. Please stay tuned for details.
* on a different topic, there were recently several discussions and debates about exploits, cheating and unfair behaviours. Since day 1, we have considered and we are still considering these topics with lots of attention. In this regard, we have decided to clarify the rules and expectations accordingly through a code of conduct.
This will be displayed in the game, at start soon, but you can have a preview of it as follows

We all want to have fun in the games we play, but certain rules have to be upheld so everyone can have just as much fun.

We will take measures, including temporary or permanent ban against people breaking the community rules and we may or may not warn you before. Please take this into consideration and think about what you want to write about or how you want to behave.
The following behaviour will have severe consequences:
- cheating, hacking, exploiting the game

We will not ban for a bit of "trash talking", but we will ban direct and unjustified insults against other players. Please take responsibility for your own actions.
We do not have to give reasons for a ban further than "broke the code of conduct
