OH! On a side note, we are STILL working on the map revamps! Here is a little tease on the map we have been working on:



- Caveman Studio

Emergency Server Patch

Dear operators,

We noticed in the previous version of the game it is only able to show a limited number of online lobbies, this results in a significant amount of lobbies being left undiscovered in the server listing. We have uploaded an emergency server patch to fix this issue.

We are terribly sorry for the bad experience.
