Patch One is Live!
Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 · published
Greetings Admirals!
We're happy to announce that our first patch is now live! A huge thanks to everyone who provided us with invaluable feedback on both the public and beta branch! Without all of you, many of these fixes wouldn't be here.
The beta branch has now been closed, but expect to see it back for our next update. Read all about the thoughts behind this patch's changes and what we have in store for the future in our original announcement.
For the full patch notes, see below. We've just discovered an issue with naming saves using special characters (for example : ; ! ? . , > < etc.), so please stick to letters and numbers for now. Please be aware that co-op is still in an early access state, so if you run into any issues, or just want to give us your thoughts on the game, don't hesitate to let us know on our Steam community hub and official forum. You can also join our Discord to meet fellow players and get the latest news from the devs: https://discord.gg/fqpAG2D
Now, go blow up some ships!
