KNOWN ISSUES

• 2 Actions not available in missions: In the 3rd Tutorial, one message is about looting an enemy. This is also being implemented and will be available soon. The last is praying at the Idol, in Tutorial 4. We're working on adding this for the next update.
  
  
• Invisible Walls: There might be some invisible walls between two buildings or a building and the street, but the unit should always have another way to go about it.
  
  
• Loading might still be long : We've been working on optimizing the loading time in the previous patch and manage to get good results but there's still room for improvement. We've added a tiny animation at the bottom right corner of the screen to show you the loading is still happening and the game's not freeze.
  
  
• Potential Graphical Bug and Xray: We still have work to do on our camera and we are evaluating the best option to do so right now, we used to have an xray system which would cut through the walls, but it seems it created a weird graphical bug (objects would render black/white, much like Sin City). We removed the xray for now and we will be working on a better solution for this issue.
  
  
• Attacking AI through a wall: It's possible to engage another unit through a wall, even if it's not visible to your current unit. If you do so against the AI, it won't be able to compute the action and the game will freeze leaving you no other choice but closing the game.
  
  
• Using the mouse in GUI with higher screen resolution: We would recommend not to play the game with a screen resolution higher than 1920x1080 as some GUI asset might become difficult to click.
  
  
• Information in the Lobby: There are some issues with the information displayed when refreshing the list in the lobby. You might see, for example, a lobby joined by a Steam Friend that is not available to you and that you won't be able to join.
  
  
• Switching to another program while playing: If you use Alt-Tab or minimize/maximize the game window while playing or loading, you might end up with a game crash or misbehaving game.
  
  
• Unit stat not updating on item selection: When you assign an item to a unit, in the customization screen, the unit stats will not update automatically on screen.
  
  
• Desynchronisation during online skirmish: You might encounter some random desynchronization while playing a skirmish online. We are investing everything that might cause such problem and all the feedback we can get from you will be very helpful.
