Men of War II | Update 1.033 is Live Now

Greetings, Commanders!

A new update for Men of War II is now live; this means a short downtime for multi-player servers (no longer than 20-30 minutes), but all single-player campaigns remain available in the meantime. The patch focuses on fixing single-player crashes, improving overall stability and speed of servers in multi-player, and brings several highly requested features from fans, such as Steam achievements, combat UI scaling options, and the ability to rebind the Pause key. Many other bugfixes, improvements and balancing tweaks are included as well - full patch notes are available below.

As always, we keep working on the game, fixing bugs, implementing new features, and eventually adding more content – we will have more news for you soon. If you think the game is worth it and want to support us and help us in improving it further - leave us a positive review, join the Men of War II Official Discord server, and let us know how we can make the game better for you. We are already on it.
