Heroes of Normandie Patch 1.06
the patch is out now. It includes a number of bug fixes, sorts out the issues with logging in to multiplayer and adds a new play mode. The original dice rolling model is now renamed Iron Man mode. You can turn this on in the options but it is off by default. There is a new random generator that will make it easier for new players to get to grips with the rules before they put themselves at the will of the dice gods!
1.06 Change Log
* Fixed a bug that prevented the correct display of the leaderboard.
* Fixed a bug that caused the system to call the multiplayer server too often and bring down the servers. It also prevented logging in for some users.
* On the game launcher there is a Settings button. This lets you select your resolution and should resolve any 21:9 resolution issues.
* Some external game controllers were causing issues and creating odd mouse input commands. We've improved this so less users are affected but let us know if it still affects you.
* You can now scroll diagonally with the keyboard controls.
* All skirmish maps are unlocked from the start.
* Fixed an AI bug that caused the game to lockup/freeze.
* Fixed a bug in the appearance of the German Fire Unit’
* It now auto saved in skirmish mode
* added Iron Man Mode, and defaulted to having it off. Players should not experience runs of bad luck as the chance of this happening has been vastly reduced.
The team are still working hard on a range of improvements so keep your feedback coming. We're especially interested to hear what you think about the new dice rolling system. Enjoy the game!
