Hi all, we have launched our first small patch 1.02, exactly one week after game launch. There are also more & bigger patches on the horizon, but we wanted to get this one out to you as soon as possible.
Here is the changelog of Patch 1.02:
Highlights:
Economy: Mines will drop income much slower when they begin to deplete
On combat end, interactables are now automatically highlighted, and toggle state (on/off) is now persisted across maps.
Zooming is now possible in overview mode.
Hand-to-hand specialization can now be used while merc is unarmed
Fixed issue where no mercenaries are available for hire & AIM database would be empty.
Fixed issue where free move APs could be used for an attack.
Fixed issue where music and some other sounds would play in mono instead of stereo.
Fixed giving ammo from one squad to another.
Detailed changelog:

QUESTS <*> Fixed a crash at the end of the Twin Manors quest. <*> Fixed a problem with properly completing the combat in C7U <*> Fixed a situation where some enemies would not spawn in Old Diamond causing players to be stuck in conflict with no enemies. <*> Fixed issue where Chimurenga would disappear when he is about to retire.

DevDiary 15 - Thank you!
It's finally here! Hi everyone, From the entire team here at Haemimont Games thank you for believing in us and making the release of Jagged Alliance 3 our best release to this day.
Release day is always exciting and fun. This time it was even more special as we got to share the excitement with you during our stream. We had great fun chatting and playing the game live, as well as reminiscing on the development journey with Brad, Ian and Strezov. And of course, laughing aloud as Angry Joe made his entrance.
We are aware of some issues with the Multiplayer of Jagged Alliance 3. Steam invites and join by code has been hotfixed on the server-side already. There might still be occasional errors, but retrying will solve the issue. Please make sure to relaunch the game to grab it.
Further improvements about how game list functionality is handled will be coming via a client-side update next week.
Have fun in Gran Chien!
